Overview

Because if you go to the lavender fields to take pictures, the golden light is between 8pm and 9:30pm. During the day the light is very strong and it can be very hot. We will leave Marseille at 4:15pm so we can catch the nice sunset when we get to Valensole plateau. The trip to get there is around 1 hour and 20 minutes.

You will be surrounded by fields of lavender, the famous Provençal scented plant, abound here.

We will also stop in a lavender distillery along the way where you have the opportunity to buy products directly from the producers; and we will leave you some free time in the village of Valensole.

The best time for lovers of typical Provençal landscapes to visit is middle of June to end of July, when Valensole plateau is awash with beautiful blue lavender in bloom. It's a sight – and scent – to behold!

This sunset tour gives you the chances to see the lavender both under regular sunlight and warm sunset. You can enjoy the two different color tones of the lavender especially for taking pictures.

Learning about all of the fields and our tour guide was so passionate about the fields also. We really got so much out of it.

Some good and some bad. The good was seeing the lavender fields, although going to 3 different locations perhaps wasn't necessary. The bad was we didn't get told the pick up from Marseille was just that, a pick up by a taxi driver and then getting dumped off at Aix au Provence without any explanation of why or what was happening until we got there. Then the guide who didn't even introduce himself forgot a couple left behind so we had to go back and get them. The tour is advertised as a 'sunset tour' yet out of the 7 hour tour we spent no more than 10 minutes and the guide didin't give me enough time to take photo once the sun had set, it was hurry up as we have to get back to Marseille and drop off people we had picked up earlier. We arrived at Valensole and were told we had 45 minutes to site see through the town and have dinner. The 2 restaurants couldn't take us for dinner as they were full, so we ended up not having enough time for dinner. Disappointing
