About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Anne D0 contributionsDisappointing experienceWine tour was not a highlight, two winery visits, 7 tastings and driving through grape vines to fill in time? Person at first winery was not friendly and seemed to be not that interested in answering questions about the wine. This experience deterred me from booking any other tours from Avignon.Written 19 November 2024
- EC972250 contributionsWOW, what an experience!This is an EXCELLENT FULL day tour! See 2 different regions all in one tour. We had an excellent guide and enoyed ouselves very much. Luberon is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!Written 18 November 2024
- dlb77770 contributionsWorth it!Well worth it. Beautiful views, nice villages. A good way to see a bit more of the area if you don’t have a car. Oliver our guide was very nice.Written 19 October 2024
- 906fergusl0 contributionsLuberon TourExcellent tour with flexibility. Just enough and satisfying. Very engaging, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide.Written 6 October 2024
- coletted1550 contributionsNice afternoon tourWe were excited about doing a wine tour in Avignon that did not take up the whole day, so this was perfect. One note, though. Eat lunch beforehand as this particular wine tasting tour did not offer food pairings, just wine. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and made an extra effort to connect with all of us. Highly recommend!Written 19 September 2024
- BirdieLue0 contributionsPerfect tour for cruisers who stop in Marseille, FranceThis tour was specifically tailored for sailors stopping in port on a cruise, and I was sailing solo on Virgin Voyages. The tour was called "Shore Excursion: Aix-en-Provence and Cassis." Our lovely guide, Ines, met our small group of seven at 9:00 right as we left the port area. Short walk. Super easy! The van was a Mercedes, and the drive to Aix was lovely. Ines was so friendly and knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history with us. She walked with us for a short time in Aix pointing things out, and then we were on our own to explore. Aix is called Little Paris for a reason. Simply adorable. From there we drove back to the coast to the village of Cassis. She took us to a look out point first (incredible) and then we drove down into the village. Some of us took a boat ride which was breathtaking. I enjoyed some local wine and just had a lovely day all around. We were back to the ship by 4. I can't recommend this tour enough! The company, A la Francaise is very easy to work with and helped me out tremendously because I left my bag of souvenirs in the van. Amelie went to a lot of trouble to get them shipped back to me in the US. I am so glad I booked directly with them and not through Viator.Written 19 September 2024
- Karen W0 contributionsWine tasting in ProvenceFlorian (I am sorry if I spelled this wrong) was our amazing guide for our afternoon wine tour. He was so nice and informative. Our tour was in English, and there were only 6 of us total. He personalized the tour, he was easy to understand, and you could really tell how much he loved Avignon, Provence, and the wines produced there. The booking provided clear and easy meeting point instructions and everything ran smoothly.Written 2 September 2024
- S6408FDkarenw0 contributionsBest day in Provence!Oliver was our amazing guide for this beautiful day. He was animated and informative. Our tour was in English, and there were only 5 of us total in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Oliver personalized the tour, he was easy to understand, and you could really tell how much he loved Avignon, Provence, and all of our sights, especially the aquaduct. We had a wonderful time with Oliver on 29/8/24. The booking provided clear and easy meeting point instructions and everything ran smoothly.Written 2 September 2024
- jordansS473MS0 contributionsProvence Guided Walking / Driver Tour - HoneymoonMy wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience A La Francaise Provence as a part of our honeymoon. We leveraged the business over the course of two days to assist with walking tours of Avignon and Saint Remy, trips to wineries Chateauneuf Du Lape and transportation services to and from our hotel. Overall, the experience was well organized, able to be flexed accordingly and fairly priced. Our guide, Emile, was 10/10. He was kind, timely, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about an array of topics, answering any and all questions about the region we had (especially about wine!) We recommend his services to any individual, couple or group traveling to the Provence area. Additionally, he was an excellent driver, making my wife and I feel completely safe each time we joined him in the car, even through the tight streets of some smaller villages. We will be sharing details of the company and experience with all friends and family looking to book trips to the region in the future.Written 1 September 2024

I took half day lavender tour with them on July 1st week and paid amount to the driver as cash after reaching back Avignon. Afternoon the tour manager called me and argued saying that I didn’t pay the money.
That manager Sophie embarrassed me saying that I am lying. I challenged her saying that I am ready to go to police station to prove this ambiguity. In fact their driver cum tour guide played a nasty game in between when he got €155 as cash in hand. The agency should do character/sanity check of their staff before assigning them in such duties.
The tour itself very poorly managed starting from the beginning!!!
Be careful and never pay your trip charge in cash to their drivers. The driver had taken my email address to send the receipt but never received the same till date !!

Absolutely a waste of money. Driver Oliver couldn’t find any Lavender fields when he did he stated” all these fields are abandoned by the farmers” well in reality peek viewing had passed. We drove off road twice turning to find a field. One of these off road adventures caused him to smack the back of the bus into a tree and he promptly stated ah not my my van. We were supposed to see a Lavender distillery when we arrived it was a store No distillery tour of an operational distillery since it was closed. We were supposed to visit the town of Sault for 1 hour it was 20 minutes. Unfortunately this was due to him spending 30 mins in one of the half dead fields videoing 1 of the ladies on the tour. As well as doing her still photography.
Because he was a bit late on the return his driving was reckless and was driving way above the speed limit.
At the end I order to secure a tip he stood at the van door asking if we could make change.
Will never do another Viator Tour again.

I took this tour in Provence in early July 2019 and the lavender was spectacular. Jerome provided an informative tour about the region of Provence and the lavender. We enjoyed each stop and had plenty of time to take photos in the fields. The afternoon wasn't too hot although there was a heatwave during the summer. This tour is a definite must if you are staying in Avignon. The experience was well worth it.

NOTE: We took the Lavender Day Trip with a small group. I did not see this as a selection.
We were picked up promptly at 8:00 by our guide, Jerome. We then headed to Avignon to pick up four more riders, making us a group of seven.
We would our way through Provence and traveling 170 miles for the day. Along the way we stopped at the market in Bonnieux and at Gordes for lunch. Late afternoon we arrived at Sault to visit the incredible lavender fields. Beautiful!
We stopped at several other places where Jerome would explain about what we were seeing and let us experience the moment.
We had an incredible day and loved every moment of it. Would love to have Jerome as our guide again!
