You’ll pass through the quaint village of Lourmarin and take a stroll through a lively weekly market.

To begin your scenic tour you will be driven through the village of Lourmarin. Then head to either Roussillon (Thursday tour) or L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (Sunday tour) to enjoy a walk through a market offering traditional and local fresh produce.
