Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque

Situated, since the 12th century, deep in its Provençal valley, the Abbey of Sénanque is one of the most pure examples of the primitive Cistercian architecture.

Its history, its heritage and architectural richness, its breath-taking panoramas, protected landscapes and nature are as many invitations to discover this little Provençal jewel.

We did 2 small group tours while in Avignon. Both had Gordana as a guide and were lots of fun. Gordana loves Provence and is very enthusiastic. First we visited Fontaine-de-Vaucluse which was a beautiful little village, Luberon, Gordes and artsy village of Roussillon. Gordana gave us lots of time in each village and lots of information. Can't recommend enough, book it!

Jumping in the van with tour guide Gordana was one of the best decisions made during a 10 day escape to the South of France. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the history, food, culture are off the charts and you will feel like you are travelling in a postcard.

Joyce_H

Host, Gordana, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Wish we could have spent more time but enjoyed a tast of Provence.

Joanne_H

Beautiful views of the area with this tour. Our guide was so enjoyable and provided great history of the area.

John_F

Great trip that turned into a private tour for my wife and I with Natalie, our driver and guide. She spoke English well, was professional, friendly, and had great knowledge of the area. Not sure how this trip is in the peak season, but without crowds, she was able to find great viewpoints for us, and we had lots of time to visit each of the towns, for shopping and lunch. Only issue we had was finding parking in Avignon as we came from a nearby city. Parking is not well indicated in Avignon, and it would be helpful to have this pointed out in the directions to the pickup location. Overall, however, good value and a good time!

Owen_D

Very comfortable tour with a great guide, plenty of time in each place. Lots of useful information but not too much talking.

Ian_B

A great tour. We feel that we experienced the real countryside and villages of Provence. Gordana is a great tour guide; very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a lot of fun. We recommend this tour.

Michele_F

One of the challenges and good suprise was that during the tour the car/van began to have problems. The tour operator Gordana got us safely to a pull off and instructed the group how to do a 15 minute walk into the village of Gordes. She stayed with van organized her colleague to come pick us up in Gordes and although we missed seeing Roussillion due to the car issue we did get to spend over an hour in Gordes

Helen_C

The tour vehicle broke down and we had to walk to Gordes. We did not get to see Roussillon We waited more than an hour and a half to be picked up. Disappointing in the extreme.

Peter_O

Three very different villages but all expressing the flavour of the South of France. Some walking over cobbled streets required so come with proper shoes. Well recommended
