Gorges du Verdon : Lavenders, Canyon Boat Picnic & Villages

I’m inviting you to spend a really sensational day. Probably one of the most beautiful you'll have in Provence.
I'll take you to one of my favorite spots where I go with my family and friends : Les Gorges du Verdon.
The best way to explore this unic place is to have a boat ride in the canyon, the biggest in all Europe. You'll drive your little private electric boat having a picnic with some local wines. You can jump to the water or just unwind admiring the nature (2 hours easy drive, very calm water).
Then we'll stop on few lavender fields off the beaten path. If you have a chance, you'll be the only one strolling there and taking pictures. Their beauty is really indescribable, even after the blooming period!
The next stop is the perched village Sainte-Croix with its incredible view of the Sainte Croix lake. Free time for a walk in the village or beach time by the lake.
*In case of bad weather, instead of the boat, I'll drive you to the charming Moustiers-Sainte-Marie village.

5.00This excursion was a wonderful way to experience the charming villages outside of Aix. The electric boat ride experience was truly memorable and, it was very easy to operate. Our guide, Tom, made the experience all the better. He drove very safely, spoke excellent English, was super friendly, and fun to spend the day with. I highly recommend.
Escape the city and see the beauty of the countryside!

5.00Thomasz was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely patient in waiting for us, and adjusting the time that we started. He knows the area like the back of his hand and he provided a most unique and beautiful tour. He packed a delicious picnic lunch for our boat ride complete with rosé and a fresh baguette. When we approach the lavender fields, he made a beautiful bouquet for our daughter as he explained the healing and medicinal properties of the lavender. He has the most delightful disposition, he is full of joy, a man of character, and a true leader in hospitality. He provides a memorable experience that one cannot easily do for themselves. Take this tour.

5.00It was the best walk I ever made in the area. The place is beautiful and Tom the best guide you can have. I'd take the walk a thousand times if I could. Tom makes us feel happy and excited throughout the journey.
Perfect day!
