About this tour
This nine-hour private tour traces a route through inland Provence, starting at the dramatic Gorges du Loup waterfall before moving through seasonal flower fields and the clifftop medieval village of Gourdon. You'll visit Grasse, the world's perfume capital, exploring a historic fragrance factory and wandering its atmospheric old town.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early and handles all navigation through winding Provençal roads. The morning focuses on natural highlights: you'll walk through the gorges, photograph the waterfalls, then explore flower fields (seasonal variation means lavender peaks July–early August). Gourdon sits dramatically above the landscape; allow time to explore its narrow streets and absorb the panorama. At Grasse, the perfume factory tour reveals traditional production methods before you have space to eat lunch independently in the old quarter. The afternoon shift takes you to the lake, where you can swim freely or rent kayaks and pedal boats at your own cost.
Good to know
Air-conditioned vehicle throughout. Lunch not provided; budget time in Grasse. Water activity rentals (kayaks, pedal boats) cost extra and operate independently. Infant seats and pram access available. All fitness levels welcome, though Gourdon involves uphill cobbled streets.
