The road to Luberon is beautiful, you will admire nice Provencal landscapes and Luberon hills. If you like, we can stop in a very nice factory boutique with lavender products.
Then, you will arrive to Sénanque Abbey. This lovely place is just like a post card with its beautifu monastery and lavender fields. Take your time to connect to this special place and don't forget to visit a huge boutique with many high quality products from all France produced by monks. Then, after few minutes drive, we'll reach Gordes, very ancient UNESCO village with old rock houses, amazing restaurants, beautiful boutiques.
Gordes architecture is really amazing and strolling there is just like a journey in the past. In Gordes you can find one of 31 "palaces" in France (higher level than 5*) - Airelles hotel & restaurant.
Our next stop is Rousillon. This ochre village is extremely pictoresque and stands out due to its colours : yellow, orange and red. While strolling around the pretty squares, you will join the top of the village with its panoramic view of surrounding mountains. There is a little trail to discover more about ochre, you can have a walk through an old open-pit ochre quarry and learn how the site was formed and explored.
Believe me, there is no need to be everywhere in Luberon.
My clients appreciate a lot this day, they can relax and feel the atmosphere of Provence without running. However, if you want to add 1 or 2 villages to this trip, it's of course possible.
