Luberon Hilltop Villages (Vehicle and Walking tour) Full day.
We will collect you from your location in or around Marseille. We will take you to some of France’s most beautiful villages, listed in the top 10 in France & give you a personalised tour of your preferred places. The villages that we recommend are Gordes, Rousillion, Bonnieux, Menerbes, Oppede and The Abbey of Sénanque.
Gordes is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France, built on a rocky hill 340m above sea level offering breathtaking views of the Luberon. You will be impressed by its history, heritage and architectural richness, and its breathtaking panoramas and much more. You can visit the caves St. Firmin where you will discover the old workshops under the town.
Rousillon is above all a magical place located in the heart of the biggest ochre deposits in the world. You will be mesmerised by the wide palette of flamboyant colours in countless shades. We will take you through one of the trails of the ochre lands. You will see from close its different shades ranging from yellow to violet. Information on the geology, the flora and the history of the ochre deposits is available on site.
No matter what route you take to Bonnieux, you will see the church tower well before you arrive. At a height of 425m, the tower dominates the countryside and the surroundings of this magnificent village, situated in the Luberon. You can also admire the vast plains planted with grape vines (Cotes du Luberon), lavender*, cereals and fruit trees just as the impressionists painted them. The village has kept all its authenticity, its steep sloping streets, its fountains and washhouses, its old church or upper church, a mix of Romanesque and Gothic and a view that is worth it all. *Lavender is only in June-July.
Oppede: A historic village built on a rocky outcrop. You will find a beautiful Romanesque church dating from the 12th-century church which dominates the skyline, and the ruins of a medieval castle.
The Abbey of Senanque is a 12th-century Abbey deep in a provincial valley, where the monks still live and worship. In Lavender seasons the fields are full of colour and you can discover the spectacular building and its surroundings.
We will be stopping for many photo opportunities of these spectacular villages with breathtaking views. You will also have some free time to wander around.
