Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — this is one of our most-booked honeymoon routes, pairing Paris's Eiffel Tower and a Seine dinner cruise with a slower-paced countryside stay among Provence's lavender fields and hilltop villages.
Late June through July is peak bloom, particularly around Valensole and Sault. Fields are harvested in early August, so travel outside this window won't include the lavender displays.
By TGV high-speed rail, roughly 3 hours to Avignon, included in this package. It's faster and more scenic than driving.
