Lavender In Sault

After the pickup at your hotel or accomodation, start your journey in colorful Provence by a visit of the beautiful village of FONTAINE DE VAUCLUSE by the river Sorgue, and walk up to its spring, the biggest of Europe, down the cliff.

Then head-off to ABBAYE DE SENANQUE for a photo stop at this majestic XIIth Century Abbey surrounded by lavender fields.

The next stop is GORDES, after the photo-stop at the 'belvedere', visit this famous hilltop village made of local dry stone, and walk in the provencal market on tuesday.

For the lunch time, we stop at ROUSSILLON.
The enchantment of this Provencal village weaves its spell throughout the year, as the shades of ochre of the houses and the ground vary with the sunlight. The provencal market on thursday adds even more colors. For the braves, the ocher path offer a nice contrast between the trees and the ocher cliffs, 30 to 40 minutes walking, easy.

It is time to visit the LAVENDER FIELDS :
Gaze in the lavender fields, fill your body of fresh lavender fragrance, take some pictures and have a look at a distillation operation during harvest.

Finally, we will relax in SAULT, in the middle of a bucolic landscape, isolated from civilisation, this quiet and wild village will slow down rush and cool the heat of the day. Free time for shopping, test a lavender ice cream or enjoy a drink on a panoramic terrace.
