The guide

The best spots, for real

Actually in France? Here's where to go. If not, your photo pack is waiting below.

  • Valensole plateau

    Provence's biggest purple backdrop, about 1 h 30 from Marseille. The roads around Valensole and Puimoisson have the most beautiful rows.

  • Sénanque Abbey

    A 12th-century Cistercian abbey behind its lavender rows, near Gordes. It is a place of prayer: please keep quiet.

  • Sault and the Albion plateau

    Higher up, the lavender blooms later there: the place to go in late July and early August.

  • The distilleries

    Many distilleries are open to visitors: see how the essential oil is extracted and leave with a scented sachet.

Good to know

Bloom runs from mid-June to mid-July in Valensole, until early August in Sault. The fields are private: stay on the edge, don't pick, leave nothing behind. Some farmers offer paid access for photos: that's the way to do it.

The maths

The trip you didn't take cost you…

Rough amounts, estimated with plenty of bad faith and a little truth.
