Full description
Start your full-day shared group or private tour with a pickup from your accommodation in Nice and admire the famous Promenade des Anglais as you depart the city. With your guide, travel first to Castellane, a quintessentially-French, cultural village at the gates of the famous Verdon Gorge, and classified as a "city of character". Visit its ancient ramparts, and three listed monuments, including St. Victor's Church, the Clock Tower, and the Pentagonal Tower. Continue to the charming village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France and part of the phenomenal Verdon Natural Regional Park. From here, make sure to snap pictures of the idyllic Provence setting complete with lavender fields, panoramic views of the surrounding rocky mountains, and the blue waters of the Lake of Sainte-Croix, the third largest lake in France.

We had an amazing day with our tour guide, Joe. We saw beautiful, charming villages and stunning nature views. What a memorable day for my family. The van was clean and our guide, Joe, was so knowledgeable and a great driver. It was a highlight of our family vacation in France. Joe gave us invaluable history about Nice and the region. We loved the tour.

It was amazing - very sunny and hot and most of the day we spent on the road, but the lavender fields were beautiful, as well as Lac de Sainte Croix. We were supposed to have only 15 min at the lake(last stop), and leave at 4:30pm for Nice, but we misunderstood our guide, and thought we had time to get a paddle boat in the lake and be back by 5:30pm. We got back at 5:05, but our amazing guide was thankfully still waiting for us . So, make sure you listen carefully for the times, and be aware - no lake swim here :) (we did had a blast though!). I think this should be part of it.

Great communication for pickup, very prompt and on time. Guide was super helpful and friendly (Francis). Went out of his way to ensure we had a good time, always checking in to make sure we were having a good time or enjoying our meal or to take a picture. The roads on the trip are very windy to be wary of car sickness. The views were stunning, highly recommended
