Provence Tour Highlights
The lavender fields of Provence are one of the most iconic and beautiful sights in all of France — a sea of purple lavender blooms stretching across the Valensole Plateau, the Luberon valley, and the slopes of Mont Ventoux. Lavender season runs from late June through early August, with July the peak time to visit Provence when the lavender-scented landscapes are alive with vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas. The Abbey of Sénanque, surrounded by lavender fields, is one of the most photographed sights in Provence — where monks have tended these gardens for centuries. Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages in France, sits above the lavender fields with spectacular panoramic views across the valley below.
Avignon is one of Provence's greatest medieval cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — visit the extraordinary Popes' Palace, stroll across the famous medieval bridge Pont d'Avignon, and explore the vibrant markets and charming streets of this magnificent city. Arles is another unmissable Provence destination — a UNESCO World Heritage Roman city where Vincent van Gogh painted 300 masterpieces, with a magnificent Roman Amphitheater still used for concerts today. Aix-en-Provence is the cultural heart of the region — a picturesque town of elegant fountains, plane tree-lined boulevards, vibrant morning markets, and world-class restaurants and museums. The Pont du Gard aqueduct near Avignon is one of the finest Roman sites in all of France and a UNESCO World Heritage monument not to be missed.
The Luberon valley is a landscape of charming hilltop villages, lavender fields, vineyards, and sunflower fields — with Roussillon and its extraordinary ochre cliffs among the most beautiful villages in all of France. The Gorges du Verdon — often called Europe's Grand Canyon — is one of Provence's most spectacular natural wonders, with emerald waters and dramatic limestone cliffs perfect for hiking and kayaking. Marseille, Provence's great port city, offers the vibrant Old Port, the magnificent Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, and the dramatic calanques along the Mediterranean coast. Day trips to Cannes and Nice offer a glamorous taste of the French Riviera along the Mediterranean sea.

What you're really choosing between
Most people planning a big trip end up weighing three things.
Do it yourself
Complete control, several weekends of research, twenty separate bookings that all have to line up, and nobody to call when the train is canceled.
Budget agency
A budget agency will sell you something off the shelf — cheap, and you'll find out at the hotel forty minutes outside Florence why it was cheap.
Luxury agency
Or a luxury agency will build you something beautiful and charge accordingly, often several times what the trip needs to cost.
Firebird
Most agencies resell someone else's trip. We organize ours — the guides, the drivers, the hotel relationships are all Firebird's, which is how we control both the quality and the cost.
A destination specialist plans it around you, books every piece, and stays reachable the whole way. Private and tailored, closer to what you'd have spent doing it yourself.
