Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in Southern France

Photograph the ochre cliffs and chimney stacks of Provençal Colorado near Rustrel, once worked by 19th-century miners. Capture lavender fields blooming between mid-June and mid-July on the Valensole plateau and the limestone Rock of La Baume in Sisteron. Frame shots of Avignon Bridge, the medieval streets of Lourmarin, and the leafy boulevards of Aix-en-Provence where Cézanne painted.

Photograph Roussillon's ochre cliffs and stone buildings after visiting Luberon's lavender fields, where purple blooms fill the landscape from late June to mid-August. You'll see terraced vineyards above Tournon and the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard, a first-century Roman aqueduct crossing the Gardon River, then capture Viviers' medieval buildings.

Set up shots of the 49-meter Pont du Gard, the tallest Roman aqueduct bridge still standing, and capture Nîmes' UNESCO-listed Maison Carrée temple alongside Tour Magne. In Lyon, you'll photograph the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière and the hidden Medieval-Renaissance Traboules passages, then head to small Occitanie villages for farm-to-table meals.

On a night walk in Paris, you'll photograph the Eiffel Tower's golden lights reflecting in the Seine, then frame Lyon's Renaissance architecture and the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière from Fourvière Hill. Later, capture the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard's three-tier Roman arches and Nîmes' ancient amphitheater in Southern France's golden light.

Capture Roussillon's lavender landscapes and ochre cliffs in Luberon, where purple fields bloom from late June to mid-August. You'll photograph medieval fortress ruins in Ardèche Nature Park, then frame the terraced vineyards above Tournon looking out over the Rhône River and visit the Caverne du Pont-d'Arc Museum with its Palaeolithic cave replicas.
