Day Trips from Provence

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.

Onze volledige dagtour door de lavendelvelden was geweldig. Onze gids Paolo was geweldig. Omdat we vanuit Marseille vertrokken, hadden we wat tijd voordat we de lavendelvelden bereikten. Paolo was een schat aan kennis en informatie over de hele regio en de geschiedenis ervan, en ook zeer goed geïnformeerd over alles wat met lavendel te maken had. Toen we bij de lavendelvelden aankwamen, hielp hij iedereen met foto's en beantwoordde al onze vragen. Hij was zeer professioneel en een uitstekende chauffeur. We hadden geen betere tour kunnen krijgen!
