Lavender has been grown in this region for hundreds of years, and bundles of cut lavender, known locally as <em>paille<\/em> (straw) are still packed  tightly into steam stills to extract their essential oils.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Since 1997, the <em>huile essentielle de lavande de Haute-Provence<\/em> (Haute-Provence lavender oil) has been protected by its own <em>appellation d\u2019origine contr\u00f4l\u00e9e<\/em> (AOC), but the vast majority of farms produce a higher-yielding hybrid called lavandin.<\/p>\n<p><astro-ad data-container-id=\"gpt-ad-395287685398\" data-path=\"\/9885583\/LonelyPlanet.com\/articles\/in-content-top\" data-slot-size=\"[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]\" data-targeting='{\"url\":\"lavender-fields-france\",\"destination\":\"France\",\"continent\":\"Europe\",\"country\":\"France\"}' data-size-mapping='[{\"viewport\":[0,0],\"slot\":[]},{\"viewport\":[300,0],\"slot\":[[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[768,0],\"slot\":[[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[960,0],\"slot\":[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]}]' data-debug=\"false\" class=\"block gpt-ad my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"p-3 text-xs leading-none tracking-wide text-center uppercase text-black-400\">\nAdvertisement\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-395287685398\" style=\"min-height:min-content\">   <\/div>\n<p>  <\/astro-ad><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">This cross-breed of English and Portuguese lavender produces five times more oil than fine lavender, or <em>lavande<\/em>. Only a handful of farms still cultivate the more finicky <em>lavande<\/em> species, though these command much higher prices and (according to aficionados) have a much finer aroma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Many farms and distilleries are open for visits, detailed on the Routes de la Lavande website; an accompanying leaflet is available from local tourist offices. There are also lavender-themed festivals in Valensole (mid-July), Sault (mid-August) and Valr\u00e9as (early August).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Here\u2019s a guide to cruising France&#8217;s lavender fields, with detours to mountainside distilleries and trips to scoop up all things lavender at abundant local markets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative w-full my-12 aspect-video\"><iframe class=\"absolute left-0 top-0 w-full h-full aspect-[16\/9]\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9U-1HahKwX8\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Take snaps of purple Provence at the Abbaye Notre-Dame de S\u00e9nanque<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Isolated and ridiculously photogenic, the 12th-century Cistercian Abbaye Notre-Dame de S\u00e9nanque near Gordes is famously framed by lavender. The abbey was founded in 1148 and is still home to a small number of monks. The cloisters have a haunting, severe beauty but reservations are essential if you plan to visit, whether on a guided tour or independently (in the latter case, visitors can borrow an information-packed tablet that shows what abbey life was like in the 13th century). Conservative dress and silence are required; be sure to build in extra time to enjoy the meditative beauty of the lavender fields.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Soar along the Plateau de Valensole<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Dreamily quiet Plateau de Valensole, just east of Manosque, has Provence\u2019s greatest concentration of lavender farms. Once you reach Valensole village, make your way to MEA Provence, where you&#8217;ll find lavender fields, an aromatic garden and exhibition panels about the history of lavender growing on the Valensole plateau. At the shop, you can browse essential oils, soaps, skincare products, dried bouquets, honey, candy, ice cream and other lavender-laced products.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"Young man harvesting lavender with pick fork, Sault, Provence\" width=\"5100\" height=\"3400\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-05\/france-grant-faint-GettyImages-103967858-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">Lavender is still gathered the traditional way in parts of Provence \u00a9 Grant Faint \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Mingle between lavender and mountains in Sault<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">This drowsily charming, isolated hilltop town mixes its lavender views with plum orchards and scattered forests. Head to Les Lavandes de Champelle, a roadside farm stand northwest of town, which has great buys for cooks such as<em> fleur de sel<\/em> (sea salt) infused with Proven\u00e7al herbs. The lavender up here is known for its dark, OK\u2026deep purple, hue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The town\u2019s other hot spot is Andr\u00e9 Boyer, which has kept farmers, cyclists and mountaineers stocked with honey and almond nougat since 1887. Lavender marshmallows and local specialty <em>pognes<\/em> (an orange-scented brioche) are must-tries. About 30km (19 miles) to the southwest, look out for magnificent views of the red-tinged escarpment and rust-colored village of Roussillon.<\/p>\n<p><astro-ad data-container-id=\"gpt-ad-976525922404\" data-path=\"\/9885583\/LonelyPlanet.com\/articles\/in-content-middle\" data-slot-size=\"[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]\" data-targeting='{\"url\":\"lavender-fields-france\",\"destination\":\"France\",\"continent\":\"Europe\",\"country\":\"France\"}' data-size-mapping='[{\"viewport\":[0,0],\"slot\":[]},{\"viewport\":[300,0],\"slot\":[[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[768,0],\"slot\":[[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[960,0],\"slot\":[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]}]' data-debug=\"false\" class=\"block gpt-ad my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"p-3 text-xs leading-none tracking-wide text-center uppercase text-black-400\">\nAdvertisement\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-976525922404\" style=\"min-height:min-content\">   <\/div>\n<p>  <\/astro-ad><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The views of 1910m (6266ft) Mont Ventoux, 25km (15.5 miles) to the northwest, are similarly awe-inspiring. Nicknamed <em>le g\u00e9ant de Provence<\/em> (&#8216;the giant of Provence&#8217;), this great white hulk is visible from much of the region.  The peak sparkles all year round \u2013 once the snow melts, its bare limestone slopes glimmer in the sun; from the summit, clear-day vistas extend to the Alps and the Camargue.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Climb through village lanes for views of St-Saturnin-l\u00e8s-Apt<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">St-Saturnin-l\u00e8s-Apt is a refreshingly ungentrified village, 10km (6km) north of the large town of Apt, with marvelous views of the surrounding Vaucluse plateau punctuated by purple lavender fields. Climb to the ruins atop the village for a knockout vista. At Moulin \u00e0 Huile Jullien, you can see how olives are milled into oil, with honey and oil tastings thrown in.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Smell all the flowers at Prieur\u00e9 de Salagon<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">This beautiful 13th-century priory on the outskirts of Mane is today home to lovely gardens and a diverting museum. This is ethnobotany at its most poetic and sensual \u2013 you can wander through recreated medieval herb gardens, fragrant with native lavender, mints and mugworts. Inside the medieval walls, the museum&#8217;s exhibitions provide a fascinating insight into rural life in Haute-Provence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The walled town of Mane is lovely for strolling, too, and the Pont Roman de Mane is also worth a look. This triple-arched stone bridge crossing the trickling River Laye dates from the 12th or 13th century and it makes a fine spot for a picnic.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"A couple walking in lavender fields in Provence\" width=\"3864\" height=\"2576\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-iStock-1404364524-rfc.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">Walking in the lavender fields of Provence is a classic slice of French romance \u00a9 Studio4 \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Sweep through the fields of the Southern Luberon<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The southern half of the Luberon is equally florally blessed. Lavender carpets the Plateau de Clapar\u00e8des between Buoux (west), Sivergues (south), Auribeau (east) and Saignon (north). Cycle, walk or motor through the lavender fields and along the northern slopes of 1125m (3691ft) Mourre N\u00e8gre, the Luberon\u2019s highest point, accessible from Auribeau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Traveling by car or bike, the D113 climbs to the idyllic lavender distillery of Les Agnels, which produces lavender, cypress and rosemary essential oils. The small on-site spa has a lavender-scented swimming pool. Stay at L&#8217;Auberge du Presbyt\u00e8re in tiny Saignon, which perches on a high rocky slope, its narrow streets ringed by craggy scrub and petite lavender plots, with incredible vistas across the Luberon to Mont Ventoux.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Cycle through the lavender fields for maximum fragrance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">There&#8217;s no better way to breathe in the rich lavender aromas than exploring by bike. La Provence \u00e0 V\u00e9lo can point you towards classic cycle routes, including one through some of the loveliest lavender fields in the region, following a 33km circular route around the Plateau de Sault.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">When are the lavender fields in bloom?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">If you love lavender in bloom, mid-June to mid-August is the time to catch it flowering in Provence (July is prime time, but June is impressive too). However, you won&#8217;t be the only visitor. The schools are out for summer, filling the countryside with tourists, traffic and too many<em> complet<\/em> (full) signs strung in hotel windows \u2013 book well ahead.<\/p>\n<p><astro-ad data-container-id=\"gpt-ad-42781780590\" data-path=\"\/9885583\/LonelyPlanet.com\/articles\/in-content-native\" data-slot-size='[\"fluid\"]' data-targeting='{\"url\":\"lavender-fields-france\",\"destination\":\"France\",\"continent\":\"Europe\",\"country\":\"France\"}' data-debug=\"false\" class=\"block gpt-ad my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10 shadow p-6\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-42781780590\" style=\"min-height:min-content\">   <\/div>\n<p>  <\/astro-ad><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The sweet-scented flowers are mechanically harvested when in full bloom, between 15 July and 15 August on a hot dry day. Lorry loads of cut lavender are then packed into steam stills and distilled to extract the sweet essential oils. You can watch the process at the Distillerie du Siron, a traditional, family-run distillery and organic flower farm covering 20 blazing hectares near the medieval village of Thoard, northwest of Digne-les-Bains.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"View of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de S\u00e9nanque in the lavender fields\" width=\"5616\" height=\"3744\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-04\/France-Gordes-Manfred-Gottschalk-GettyImages-827806426-RFC.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">It&#8217;s easy to have a lavender experience in Provence, even if you miss seeing Abbaye Notre-Dame de S\u00e9nanque framed by purple blooms \u00a9 Manfred Gottschalk \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Best lavender experiences (when the fields aren&#8217;t in bloom)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">If you miss the blazing blossoms in summer, it&#8217;s still worth visiting to see the spring-green lavender fields of Haute-Provence and the Luberon or the autumn-winter fields, a cropped wash of pale grey-blue. And at any time, you can hit other experiences based around this delectable flower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Just outside the village of Coustellet, the Mus\u00e9e de la Lavande is an excellent eco-museum and working lavender farm where you can immerse yourself in the traditions and history of this Proven\u00e7al icon and buy lavender goodies in the on-site boutique. Afterward, the hilltop village of Gordes is worth a detour, especially at sunset, followed perhaps by a drink on the panoramic terrace at the lavish Bastide de Gordes hotel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Or hit the area\u2019s other Mus\u00e9e de la Lavande in Digne-les-Bains, which explores Provence\u2019s lavender-growing culture and stages distilling sessions in its courtyard during summer. The largest town for some miles around, Digne-les-Bains is the capital of the d\u00e9partement of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and an important lavender processing center, but it&#8217;s a little short on must-see sights otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">About 50km (31 miles) southwest, Forcalquier has an upbeat, slightly bohemian vibe, a holdover from the 1960s and 1970s, when artists and back-to-the-landers arrived in the area, fostering a now-booming <em>biologique <\/em>(organic) movement. Saffron is grown here, absinthe is distilled, and the town is home to the unusual Universit\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne des Senteurs &#038; Saveurs (UESS; European University of Scents and Flavors).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">To see it all in action, time your visit to coincide with the Monday morning market. You can also pop in for a drink, a Michelin-starred meal and (if your budget allows) an overnight stay at the luxurious Couvent des Minimes, owned by fragrance house L&#8217;Occitane.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">The best lavender treats to buy, smell, and taste<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Some 80% of the essential oils produced in the region\u2019s 150 distilleries is exported, but the other 20% makes its way to local markets and into the local cuisine and toiletries. Distinctive to Proven\u00e7al cuisine is the use of lavender as a flavoring \u2013 the flowers scent herbal teas, tart up desserts and spice grilled meats, and lavender leaves float in fragrant soups. You\u2019ll also find lavender in ice cream, chocolate, and of course the region&#8217;s amazing honey. And don\u2019t pass up a lavender cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e if you see it on the menu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Throughout the region, weekly food markets are filled with trestle tables groaning under the weight of marinated olives, goat&#8217;s cheese, honey, peaches, melons and a bounty of other sun-kissed fruit, veggies and seasonal food. And, of course, lavender is well represented \u2013 from lavender sachets for scenting bedclothes to lavender honey. Keep in mind that some lavender delectables are available at local supermarkets, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">When shopping for lavender, it&#8217;s worth knowing that the most sought-after product is fine lavender (<em>Lavandula angustifolia<\/em>, <em>Lavandula vera<\/em>, or <em>Lavandula officinalis<\/em>), not spike lavender (<em>Lavandula latifolia<\/em>) or the hybrid lavandin (<em>Lavandula hybrida<\/em>). The latter plants are high in camphor and are used mainly to produce detergents, cosmetics and natural paint solvents, not perfume.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The town of Manosque has two lovely fountains and a historic cobblestoned core, but the traffic and suburban nothingness make visiting a nuisance.
