Private Tour of Les Baux-de-Provence, Gordes, Senanque Abbey
Les Baux-de-Provence is famous for its medieval
hilltop castle and village carved right out
of the cliff face. Cars are banned from the
steep, winding streets, so you will have a
brisk walk up the hill to the sights.
In the afternoon, your guided tour of Provence will take you to the
beautiful Senanque Abbey, considered one of
the purest examples of Cistercian architecture.
Today, a community of Cistercian monks still
lives in this 12th century abbey, and it’s
possible to visit the church, cloister, and
dormitory.
Next, you will tour Gordes, a beautiful medieval
village with stone houses perched on the hillside.
Gordes is right on the Lavender Trail, transformed
with fragrant purple blossoms in July and August.
Your private tour in Provence concludes with
a guided tour of an olive oil mill next to Gordes.
The family-owned business offers a wide selection
of Provencal specialties in addition to besides
their homemade olive oil and assorted derivative
products, including olive oil cosmetics. The
family is very rooted in local traditions and
is extremely welcoming. You will get a tour
of the facility and get to sample the wares.
A tasty ending to a beautiful day trip in Provence!
