Provence Touren

Went with my partner. Loved the pace and the guide’s stories. Only negative: too many people at some stops, but I guess that’s just Provence in May. Wine tasting at the end was a nice touch.

Did the tour with my partner. Loved the villages and the wine tasting (sooo good, I bought a bottle I prob didn't need, lol). Our guide was super knowledgeable but sometimes it felt like info overload. Also, you can’t take pics inside some of the churches, fyi. Wear comfy shoes, lots of cobblestones.

Nice little village. The streets are narrow and winding, which is cool. Too many shops selling the same souvenirs, though. Good for a half-day trip.

So here’s the thing – wear good shoes. The streets are rough and my friend wore sandals and spent half the time complaining. We liked the old towers and the weird little museum (no English explanations, tho). Great spot for anyone who likes taking photos. If you’re hungry, get the cheese plate at the café next to the main gate. Sooo good.

Went solo and didn’t feel awkward at all, which was a relief. Met another solo traveler and we geeked out over the reds—sooo smooth. Our guide answered, like, every random question I threw at him about terroir and oak barrels. The lookout point over Cassis was the highlight for me. Only thing: wish they sold more snacks at the wineries, I got a bit peckish after all that sipping.

Pretty scenery, good wines, and a funny guide. Cassis was BUSY so get ready for crowds. Tip: try the lemon tart at the bakery by the harbor.

Unsere ganztägige Tour durch die Lavendelfelder war wunderbar. Unser Reiseleiter Paolo war fantastisch. Da wir von Marseille aus losfuhren, hatten wir etwas Zeit, bevor wir die Lavendelfelder erreichten. Paolo war eine wahre Fundgrube an Wissen und Informationen über die gesamte Region und ihre Geschichte sowie sehr sachkundig über alles, was mit Lavendel zu tun hat. Als wir bei den Lavendelfeldern ankamen, half er uns mit Fotos und beantwortete alle unsere Fragen. Er war sehr professionell und ein hervorragender Fahrer. Wir hätten keine bessere Tour bekommen können!
