Visiting the lavender farms is a must do while in the south of France! This tour provided reliable transportation to and from a central pickup and drop off point in Marseille with a small group of 12 in a comfortablely sized van. The tour stopped at 3 lavender farms and one with unique yellow flowers for ample opportunities to take lots of pictures at different points of the day and different backgrounds. The tour guide knew which farms would have the best blooms to stop at. Going in the evening was a great option to still have the day for sightseeing and to go as it started to cool off with the best natural lighting occurred as the sun began to set. The tour also stopped at an olive farm with a store to buy souvenirs and taste lavender ice cream (recommend) and in Valensole the town to do a little shopping and get a bite to eat before returning to Marseille. Experiencing the lavender farms was even better than I expected. Not only does it provide great photo opportunities, but it's a unique experience to be in beautiful, natural landscape with the calming scent of lavender was really memorable.
