Provence and Camargue Photo Tour – France

Welcome to Provence! After arriving at Marseille Provence Airport, head straight to the wild and unique Camargue region. Known for its expansive wetlands, salt flats, and iconic white horses, the Camargue offers a distinct natural beauty. Settle into your accommodation and prepare for a sunset shoot. As the sun dips below the horizon, capture the magnificent sight of the famous Camargue horses galloping through the water, their silhouettes reflected in the golden light. This magical scene is a perfect start to your photographic journey.

Rise early to capture the serene beauty of the Camargue at sunrise. The soft morning light is ideal for photographing the horses as they move gracefully through the water, creating dynamic and ethereal images. After your morning shoot, take some time to rest before beginning the drive towards Pont du Gard, one of the best-preserved Roman aqueducts in the world. Spend some time photographing this iconic site before continuing to Avignon, where you'll check into your accommodation and enjoy a relaxing evening.

Over these two days, immerse yourself in the charm of the Luberon region. Start by visiting Gordes, a stunning hilltop village with panoramic views perfect for landscape photography. Wander through its narrow streets, capturing the timeless beauty of the stone buildings. Continue to Roussillon, known for its vibrant ochre cliffs, offering a striking contrast of colors. On the second day, explore more tranquil villages like Ménerbes and Bonnieux, each offering unique perspectives of the Provençal countryside. The terraced fields, vineyards, and rustic architecture provide ample opportunities for capturing the essence of Provence.

These three days are dedicated to photographing the iconic lavender fields of Provence. Begin with the Valensole Plateau, where the endless rows of lavender create a sea of purple. Visit the nearby hilltop village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie for stunning views and picturesque streets. Continue exploring Valensole’s fields, capturing the changing light from dawn to dusk. Then, move to Sault, where the lavender fields are set against a more rugged, mountainous backdrop. These days offer a deep dive into Provence’s most famous landscapes, with plenty of time to capture the beauty of the region’s natural and architectural wonders.

In the morning, make your way back to Marseille. Upon arrival, spend the afternoon exploring the city’s vibrant Old Port, a lively area filled with fishing boats, cafés, and historic buildings. As the sun sets, position yourself to capture the warm light reflecting off the water and the bustling atmosphere of the port. The contrast between the historic fortifications and the modern yachts creates a dynamic setting for photography. Afterward, enjoy a farewell dinner in one of the Old Port’s many restaurants.

Enjoy a final leisurely breakfast in Marseille before transferring to the airport for your departure home. Take with you the memories and stunning photographs of Provence’s diverse and breathtaking landscapes.
