About this tour
A seven-hour drive through the Luberon's most photogenic corners, skipping the rush-around approach for genuine lingering. Start at the austere 12th-century Sénanque Abbey, then pause at a Gordes overlook with rosé and local nibbles, before exploring Roussillon's russet-toned lanes and artisan shops. This is Provence distilled—less about ticking boxes, more about settling into the rhythm of the place.

What to expect
You'll travel in a small private vehicle with a local driver, starting among the Cistercian calm of Sénanque before the roads climb toward Gordes. The viewpoint stop is designed for breathing—settle in with wine and charcuterie while the medieval stone buildings sprawl beneath you. Roussillon comes next: narrow lanes where tourism exists but doesn't overwhelm, and where you'll spot potters, painters and small galleries tucked into terracotta-coloured buildings. The day unfolds without rushing; lunch falls to you to arrange in one of the villages.
