ITINERARY

Embark on a spectacular scenic drive through Provence and discover two of its most captivating cultural gems: Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and the majestic Verdon Canyon. Begin your journey in Moustiers, a charming village clinging to the cliffs and famed for its delicate faïence pottery. Stroll through its winding alleys, explore artisan workshops and admire the waterfall that enhances the village’s timeless appeal.

Look up to see the legendary golden star suspended between the cliffs, a symbol born from a Crusader’s vow to the Virgin Mary. According to tradition, the knight promised to hang a star above the village should he return safely from battle. His miraculous survival gave rise to this enduring emblem of gratitude and faith, which continues to fascinate visitors centuries later.

Continue toward the plateau of Valensole, celebrated for its vast lavender fields that blanket the landscape in vibrant shades of purple during summer. Breathe in the soothing aroma, capture unforgettable photos and browse local markets offering lavender oils, soaps and regional products that embody the pure essence of Provençal tradition.

End your adventure at the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon, Europe’s deepest canyon. As you follow the panoramic road along its limestone cliffs, marvel at the dramatic scenery and the striking turquoise waters of the Verdon River below. After this immersive day blending natural splendor and cultural discovery, relax as your driver brings you comfortably back to your hotel.
