About this tour

Clip-clop through the Luberon's rolling countryside from the picture-postcard village of Gordes on a guided two-hour carriage ride. Your guide Alexandre navigates quiet lanes and pastoral backroads, pointing out wildlife and local landmarks from your seat. Drawn by steady horses, you'll experience the landscape at the pace it deserves—slow enough to notice details, fast enough to cover real ground. Suits families, groups, and anyone after a gentler way to see rural Provence.

What to expect

You'll board a traditional carriage and spend two hours moving through the Luberon's quieter corners—vineyards, stone walls, wildflower margins, and occasional farmsteads. The pace is easy and conversational; Alexandre shares details about the region's ecology and villages without overwhelming the moment. Bring a light layer as mornings and evenings cool down. The route stays on established paths and country roads, so expect some dust but no rough terrain. This isn't a thrill ride; it's countryside storytelling from a seat that moves at horse speed.

Good to know

Bring water and sun protection. Carriage rocks gently but isn't bumpy. Prams and wheelchairs are accommodated; confirm on booking. Service animals welcome. All fitness levels cope fine since you're seated the whole time. Best in cooler months—summer heat affects horses.
