What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between five villages and sites, each with distinct character. Gordes offers hilltop views and narrow streets; Sénanque is contemplative and rural. The Bories settlement shows how locals built with stone, while Roussillon's landscape is strikingly coloured by ochre deposits. The Écomusée explains extraction and use. Lourmarin ends the tour as a living village where locals shop and eat. Walking distances vary—some sites involve modest slopes or uneven ground, though the pace suits all fitness levels. Expect regular stops for photos and exploration.
