Two-day package tour in the lavender fields of Provence
Joined 2021
Lavender in Provence starts to bloom around mid June and offers unique spectacular sceneries especially during the last week in June and the first two weeks in July, sunflowers and poppies in full bloom too, an amazing mix of colors and perfumes eveywhere.
2 days exploring the most beautiful lavender fields and some hidden fields tourists don't know (my secret places). Being a photographer, I help you take the most beautiful pictures.

About Tour Guide Jean-françois S.
Bonjour,
My name is Jean-François (Jeff). I was born and grew up in Provence, I live in Vence (the city of Matisse) near Nice. I'm a real local native. After being a teacher for many years (French, English, History), I started doing sightseeing and package tours in 2005. I'm also a photographer, all the pictures on this site are mine.
I'd love to share with you my passion for this magical region, especially take you to secret places off the beaten path away from the tourist crowd and visit hidden gems. And I've got a very comfortable a/c 9 seater van.
I want to meet your needs and expectations at every step in a warm, friendly and fun atmosphere.
I'm also an EVENT PLANNER (birthday, anniversary, wedding, honey moon, bachelor party, corporate events...).
I offer tours ALL YEAR LONG :
- French Riviera (Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Eze, St Paul de Vence, Grasse, Antibes...)
- Provence (Aix en Provence, Arles, Saint Rémy, Roussillon, Lavender fields, Gordes...)
- Wine tasting tours in Provence
- Day tours for cruise passengers from the ports of Monaco, Villefranche sur Mer, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, St Tropez, Toulon.
- Package holiday tours 2-7 days
If you're looking for a different way to explore the South France, off the beaten track, more typical and traditional spots, places you can't find by yourself... then you'll find it with me.
Reviews
“Excellent tour with Jean Fran?ois ”
He organised a tour purely in easy French for our English pupils visiting nice. We all had a great time, learned a lot and discovered Nice's little gems. We highly recommend Jean-François for your tours.

Highlights of Monaco
Fantastic Views over the Med sea, amazing sceneries. This tour is a bland of the most beautiful breathtaking views over the Riviera and very interesting historical sites from the Romans to the Middle Ages, prestigious Monaco/Monte Carlo. You will be seduced by this charming trip along the sea, Nice old town flower market and the hilltop castle, red roof old and quaint villages, the magnificent bay of Villefranche, with the most stunning views too.
French Riviera: Off the beaten path to mountains villages
A superb and unusual trip in the nature through a beautiful canyon to little Middle Ages villages very few tourists know. This is my fresh air tour away ofrom the tourist crowd, perfect for a family with children. Extraordinary views over Southern Alps, lunch by a lake (1500 m/4500 ft), unique church from the 10th century. Another unknown side of the hidden Riviera which doesn't only offer seaside places.
Highlights of Cannes
Authentic back country and Art : Saint Paul de Vence, Tourrettes sur Loup, Gourdon, Grasse, Cannes. You get a good touch of Provence atmosphere visting typical charming villages, art galeries, panoramic view in the mountains, perfumes in Grasse and Cannes world famous for its Film Festival, the Croisette and great shopping.
