Perched Villages of the Luberon Day Trip from Marseille

The Luberon region of southern France is dotted with countless picturesque Provençal villages just waiting to be discovered. On this day trip from Marseille, travel by minivan to the Luberon villages of Oppède le Vieux and Menerbes, and visit a street market in Roussillon or L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Learn how lavender — the symbol of Provence — is transformed into luxurious essential oils and beauty products and, in the summer, make a photo stop at Sénanque Abbey to capture Provence's beautiful lavender fields in full bloom.
