Luberon Villages Day Trip
Provence, France
About This Activity
Rent a car or join a guided day trip to explore the Luberon's most celebrated villages: Gordes, with its golden stone houses tumbling down a hilltop; Roussillon, built from orange ochre cliffs; and Bonnieux, where a 12th-century church tops the village stairway. Stop at the Abbaye de Sénanque for its lavender-framed courtyard. Best in June-July when lavender blooms.
Seasonal note: Lavender peaks late June to mid-July; Roussillon ochre trails open year-round; a car is essential
