Departing from Avignon at 1.30pm your A la Française guide will invite you to delve into the Provencal atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Luberon area and its villages, some of the most beautiful in France!
Your first visit of the afternoon is to Roussillon and its famous ochre cliffs. Don't forget your camera to capture this wonder with all its different shades of brown, orange and red.
After visiting Rousillon, your guide will take you onwards to Ménerbes, a well-known village thanks to Peter Mayle's book "A Year in Provence" (from April 1st 2023, the stop in Ménerbes will be removed).
Next up on your discovery of the Luberon is a visit to the famous Roman bridge, the Pont Julien. You will then drive through the village of Lacoste, where you can find the Marquis de Sade's castle.
