Garden Tours · AIX-EN-PROVENCE
Short seasons and capped slots mean the good aix-en-provence garden tours go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
At Maison de Lavande, Terre Ugo, you’ll hear the story of a family estate, learn about lavender, then wander three hectares at your own pace. Relax on a mat, sample lavender products, browse the shop, or stay for a seasonal lunch. French and English are spoken.
“Absolutely beautiful and the staff were amazing with my girls while they did their soaps. Their product is great! A must!”
Travel from Aix-en-Provence in an air-conditioned minibus with a guide such as Anthony, Coco, Rebecca, or Rémy. See seasonal lavender fields, learn about lavender varieties, visit Moustiers-Sainte-Marie on full-day trips, and shop for local oils, flowers, food, and gifts.
“Went to 2 lavender fields, both were beautiful. Could be better if more time was allocated to the fields instead of the shopping.”
Travel from Aix-en-Provence in an air-conditioned 8-seat minibus with an English or French-speaking guide. Stop at blooming lavender fields, visit a local farm, explore Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, then enjoy views of the Verdon Gorge and free time beside Lake Sainte-Croix.
“Philippe was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the area and answered everyone’s questions. He took photos of us as well. He took us to great locations, including the lavender fields and sunflower fields where not a lot of people were. He gave great tips on what to do in each village and even in Aix-en-Provence where we were staying. A memorable experience!!!”
From Aix-en-Provence, ride in a small air-conditioned minibus to the Plateau of Valensole. Your English- or French-speaking guide stops at prime lavender fields, then introduces you to a local producer for lessons on cultivation, distillation, and lavender products.
“Fabulous outing with my two adult daughters! Full of surprises and beautiful scenery. Our guide was so nice and accommodating to everyone. They give you lots of time in the lavender fields to walk around and take wonderful photos. The best part is you are taken to a location where there are no tour buses or tons of people. We also bought yummy lavender made products and got to taste olive oils and honey. I highly recommend this day trip!”
At Terre Ugo, you’ll enter a lavender estate near Aix-en-Provence, stroll through the field, browse the shop, and enjoy an outdoor snack of chips, tapenade, breadsticks, and lavender lemonade. You also get access to the bowling alley and restrooms, with English and French assistance available.
Pick a season, a palace or a glasshouse.
