Seeing the Provence lavender fields and driving through the Valensole (without having to worry about driving myself!) was a precious experience. The trip also had extras such as free time in Moustiers St-Marie (one of France’s most beautiful villages) and in the Gorges du Verdon, where I swam - something I’ll never forget. We also got to go to a lavender, almond, and olive farm, where we could buy products that aren’t sold anywhere else, and got to try their olive oils and almonds in a demonstration. Just a lovely, lovely day!
