Lavender in Sault Small Group Half-Day Trip

About this tour

Head out from Avignon into the Vaucluse plateau on this half-day excursion centred on Sault's purple sprawl. You'll travel by air-conditioned minivan through the heart of France's lavender country, with scheduled stops to photograph the flowering fields at their best. The route finishes with unscheduled time to wander Sault's quiet streets—a medieval village perched above the blooms—before returning to Avignon.

Highlights

• Lavender fields in full seasonal bloom, prime photography windows
• Guided drive through Vaucluse's most fragrant terrain
• Self-guided exploration of hilltop village of Sault
• Air-conditioned minivan transport from Avignon
• Small group setting, multilingual guide available

What to expect

Depart Avignon early morning and climb toward the plateau. Your guide will pull over at several vantage points across the lavender fields, giving you time to shoot photos and absorb the landscape. The fields themselves won't be walking routes—you'll observe and photograph from designated stops. Once in Sault village, you're free to browse its narrow lanes, cafés, and local shops at your own pace. The return journey retraces the scenic route back to your starting point.

Good to know

Bring a camera or phone with good battery. The blooming window (usually July) determines exact itinerary; your operator may adjust stops based on plant stage. No food or drink included; stock up in Avignon or grab lunch in Sault. Children under 4 aren't permitted.
