    Full description
    Visit the most beautiful medieval hilltop villages in the southern Luberon. Discover the charms of Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Roussillon, and Gordes on a 6-hour tour. Stop in Lourmarin for some free time, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful villages in France, and noted for its Renaissance castle.Take a photo in Bonnieux, a picture-perfect Provençal village that features a 12th-century church surrounded by ancient cedars. Continue to Roussillon via the Roman-era Pont Julien. Roussillon, perched atop an ochre-colored cliff, is a favorite of painters, and a magical place where combinations of oxides give the ochre an infinite variety of colors. Gordes offers an extraordinary vision of a stone village erected on a massive rock. Its fortress castle and church dominate the houses of the village, which were built with stones taken from the rock on which they sit.

    We had a marvellous day exploring these beautiful villages carved into the Luberon mountains. Expect breath-taking views, lovely churches, cafes and restaurants and some colourful geological landscapes. Greg drove us round (rather him than me) and conducted the tour with impressive knowledge and good humour.

    It was a great tour with a great guide. There was plenty of time to look around each village. The villages were beautiful and we could stop in the photo zone and take pictures. Our guide knew history so well that he could answer all the various questions. I had to take a car for about 2 hours, but the guide's history story was interesting, so it was not boring and fun.

    We had Greg as a guide and he was fantastic! A knowledgeable and funny guide, he provided us with lots of local insight into the Provence region. The tour was very fun and a great way to see some picturesque Luberon villages. I’d recommend to anyone who comes to Aix!
