Overview

This shared day trip from Nice lasts about nine hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. The tour follows a bus route through the Haute Provence region, focusing on the Gorges du Verdon canyon carved by the Verdon River. Along the way, the driver can stop at viewpoints on request for photos of the canyon and surrounding landscapes. The first stop is Castellane, a village with a 14th-century rampart and a designation as a "city of character." The village sits at the entrance to the Gorges du Verdon and is located on the Route Napoleon and lavender routes. Visitors spend approximately 40 minutes here to explore its historical and cultural features. Next is Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, known for its faience pottery and arranged in an amphitheater shape. It is considered one of France’s most beautiful villages and offers views of lavender fields, mountains, and the nearby Sainte-Croix Lake. The stop here is about an hour. The tour continues to the Sainte-Croix Lake, the third largest lake in France, surrounded by lavender fields. Visitors have around an hour to enjoy activities such as swimming or renting canoes, pedal boats, or electric boats (equipment rental is optional and not included). The trip is led by a professional guide and the vehicle is air-conditioned. Admission fees, food, drinks, and gratuities are not included in the price.
