Probably but you may have to go to northern Provence to see it. I was there in mid-July a few years ago and there was plenty of lavendar blooming.

You'll probably see lots of lavendar then. Our favorite was the tiny town of Sault - as we drove on roads by the fields, we could watch them harvest the lavendar - I believe in mid July. If you google lavendar fields of provence, you'll get tons of information including festivals that might be going on during the time that you're there.

The harvest varies with the weather, the altitude, the amount of sun, and the variety of both lavender and lavendin. ......you may find that you are towards the end of the harvest period.....
