I'm heading back to Provence region to witness the beautiful lavender fields.
Last year I liked it soooo much that I decided to return.
My plans are to be there the first part of July (for about a week).
Since I've seen the "typical" well known spots I was hoping someone can let me know where some less-known places might be.
The place I've spent the most time at is:: Valensole
Thanks for the help.
Just got home from there and was so sorry to miss the blooms but saw MANY fields ready to pop as July gets here. I have read a lot and listened to blogs and was told this.....there is a rectangle geographically where it blooms-anywhere in this area and you should see all you want:
Northern town is Sault
Southern town is Pertuis
Western town is Cavaillon
Eastern town is Manosque
I have seen them once and its on my bucket list to get back and see them again. Also went to the Lavender Museum in Coustellet and its always fun to see.
Have a great trip!
I just want to follow this thread as we are going to be there from July 3-10 - 3rd time in Provence, 1st time for lavender. I'm assuming you'll have a car? A fellow forum frequenter shared this website with me... https://www.thewanderinglens.com/your-guide-to-photographing-the-lavender-fields-of-valensole/ He's also going to be there the same time we are and we may try and meet up!
@Nicole, Thank you for the link - I've been looking through it to help me find new / other locations.
My arrangements are NOT complete at this time (I'll keep you posted) and maybe I can meet up with you both as well.
@Jane, Thanks you also. I'm researching the locations you referenced, I'm very excited to return and - well - just sit in the fields and smell the amazing aroma (and take a few photo's).
