Sun-kissed, violet fields of lavender are an image that instantly comes to mind when you think of visiting Provence. Tour the city of Aix-en-Provence, enjoy a scenic road trip to the Plateau de Valensole to explore its charming village, and marvel at stunning purple stretches of lavender fields.

Start your day with a tour of Aix-en-Provence, known as the cultural capital of the region. Called Aix for short, this is acharming city with anaristocratic pedigree. Wander down cobblestone alleys lined with sidewalk cafés, pass by th gurgling fountains in small squares, and stroll down the elegant, tree-lined Cours Mirabeau.

Leave Aix behind and enjoy a scenic ride through the Provencal countryside. Pass sun-soaked stone villages, take pictures of the landscape of rolling hillsides dotted with olive trees, and breathe in the fragrance of deep purple fields of lavender wafting in the warm breeze.

Reach the lovely village of Valensole, the most emblematic location in lavender-growing country. Walk around the narrow streets of the old city and listen to your guide share information about how to recognize fine varieties of lavender, the different uses of lavender essential oil, and about lavender growing and harvesting in Provence.
