Private Day Trip: Provence Countryside by Minivan

Be transported to the lavender fields, quaint towns and splendid countryside of Provence on a private day trip, picking up from Cannes and Nice. With your transport taken care of, you can sit back and enjoy your visit to Provence on this personalized tour.

You'll drive through the picture-postcard countryside of Provence to the second most visited village in France, Saint Paul de Vence. With its cobblestone lanes and trendy art galleries, its easy to see why the town is so popular. There's a stop of around an hour to explore this former haunt of the Impressionist painters.

Your day trip continues for photo stops at Tourrettes/Loup before winding up in the charming Loup Gorges. The views of the Alps, valleys and spectacular coastline from the perched medieval village of Gourdon are amazing. You will spend an hour here, with time for lunch (not included) and a tasting of the traditional floral-scented candy at the Florian confectionery, a Riviera specialty.

Next stop is a guided perfumery tour in Grasse, world capital of the perfume industry. You'll have approximately 45 minutes of free time here, so you could also visit the old town.

Your last stop is a 45-minute visit to Cannes, to see the old port, La Croisette boulevard, the Film Festival Palace, designer shops and sandy beaches.
