Stayed south at the beach for a few days. But really wanted to see some Lavender fields and it was exactly the right season. So we took a 2.5h drive to come here after doing some research to check out the best spots.
On the way we passed many Lavender fields, but none were so big or so impressive like this one. The shop here has lots of useful and fun products. Soap, essential oils, honey from the lavender fields and stuff like Foie Gras Paté with Lavender (!). We bought some stuff of course.
But the real reason to come here are the fields of course. Their biggest fields are located only about 1-2min from here a little to the east right at the main road. Lavender as far as your eye can see...and even further. There's no real parking lot there, just some unpaved field, but there's lots of space on it.
The colours and the smell were equally impressive. You are allowed to stroll along and into the field, just be careful of the lavender and show some respect for their property. It's surprising already that nowadays you're still allowed to roam around unsupervised and for free.
The police showed up from time to time, since there are some car break-ins sometimes, so make sure to not leave valuable stuff in your vehicle if you walk away further from it.
A wonderful field, makes great photo ops. But even the best pic doesn't do it justice. Something you need to see for yourself with your own eyes. Highly recommended. read more
