Photo Tour Provence

During the Provence photo tour, you will discover the Valensole plateau during the peak of the lavender blossom. A purple sea of blossoms stretches in many places to the horizon. A feast for the eyes of every photographer. Look forward to breathtakingly luminous lavender fields and photograph them at the most beautiful times of day, in the golden light of sunset or sunrise.

During the photo tour Provence, you will discover the scenic plateau of Valensole with its endless expanses, huge lavender fields and scattered farms. The area is part of the largest continuous lavender growing area in France. The buzzing of busy bees and the scent of lavender are omnipresent here.

Benefit from Fabio Antenore’s expert know-how. Fabio got famous through his pictures of Provence, among the many other pictures. He knows the region like no other photographer.

What our clients say

Thomas

Also on my third photo trip with Amazing Views, my expectations were fully met. Exciting photo spots, great company and exchange with two professional photographers, exchange with like-minded people, tutorials and individual image discussions etc. were all part of the package. Theory and practice were perfect for me. I really enjoyed the journey from east to west in northern Spain. The four locations offered many photo sessions in nature by the sea, with enough free space to photograph (without other tourists). Last but not least and very important, the group dynamic was excellent. Perfect information to prepare the trip as well as the PDF "Landscape Photography" is very helpful and important for me. Flawless organisation (on the road with group chats) and comfortable hotels close to the photo spots. The photographic support (and culinary) by Jenny and Fabio was guaranteed at all times. Many heartfelt thanks!

Perfectly organised photo tour in two vehicles with comfortable space. No effort was spared to optimise the photographic opportunities.

Monika & Hans

Jenny and Fabio carried out an exciting and photographically impressive journey with excellent organisation and almost loving on-site support in a region that is not yet photographically well known. And we returned home with many impressive photos. This will certainly not be our last trip with Amazing Views. A very big thank you.

Day 2 to 5

During the next few days, you will visit various photogenic lavender fields to photograph them in the best light conditions. There are also other photo excursions on the plan, for example to small towns, rushing waterfalls or other highlights that the region has to offer.
The exact program for each day will be put together on site at short notice in order to be able to respond to the respective weather and light conditions. To ensure that you can take pictures at the right time with the right light in the golden and blue hours, we will be out and about especially at sunrise and sunset. In between, after breakfast or in the early afternoon, you will have free time to rest or participate in optional tutorials or image discussions.
At the time of travel, the Milky Way is optimally visible only in the early morning. If conditions are clear, we will try this also once if you wish.
