  • Dian Adriani J 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful relaxing morning in the Provence We met with Clemence at the meeting point near the rondelle close to Cours Mirabeau, then he drove us with the other guests (some already in the car from Marseille) towards the family owned Lavender store near their field. Here, the owned explained in french, which then Clemence translated, the difference between “Lavande” and “Lavandin”, the plant “imortelle” and their particular beneficial properties. They had a charming shop, I bought essential oils and soaps. Afterwards, he drove us to the lavender fields. It’s one of those experiences that one has to be there to understand the beauty. The fields he took us to was calm and beautiful. He picked a spot where there were not too many tourists, so we can take awesome pictures. There were rows and rows of fully blooming lavender. The whole scenery is like a postcard, but better, because of the pleasant lavender scent that surrounds us, and the faint sound of buzzing bees which I found strangely calming. The bees did not attack at all, they were busy going from flower to flower. He also took as to another lavender field, which was equally mesmerizing. It was a hot day, so I suggest bring a hat, a bottle of water and a fan. Then Clemence took us to a lovely small town, Valensole. We stopped there for a short time to explore and then he drove us back to the city. Clem was very nice, he explained everything fluently and making sure we’re comfortable. We had a wonderful experience, thank you for showing us the beauty of the Provence. Read more Written July 13, 2023

Symbol of Provence and known throughout the world, lavender is a “must do” experience of our destination.

The ideal time to be enchanted by the vibrant, fragrant fields is between 15 June and 15 July, but like all living wonders, they can bloom early and be tempted by the warmth of August.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="60px"][vc_separator color="custom" accent_color="#000000"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Departing from Aix-en-Provence, more than 15 tours will take you out to the roads of Provence to discover lavender fields. Some of the tours will lead you to the Valensole area (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), an important spot of lavender production, whilst others will explore the Northern Luberon area and the village of Sault where lavender is harvested later.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1623405805972{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f0f0f0 !important;}"]

Please keep in mind that lavender fields result from hard work of the local farmers. Please respect their work and do not walk on the plants or cut lavender sprigs to form a bunch. You should also pay attention to the bees when lavender is fully blooming, and wear some good walking shoes as lavender fields are often full of stones.

Schedule** between 21 June and 15 August 2021

Bathed in the light of its special climate, Aix-en-Provence is a city of refined elegance on show in its constantly bustling streets and squares.

History here is the drama of everyday life a pleasurable shopping trip is combined with its noble heritage, a drink on a terrace with beautiful architecture and a stroll around town with baroque splendour. Every fountain holds a secret; each mansion house has a story to tell. The country houses are adorned by parks and gardens as they were over the centuries.

Aix-en-Provence is a canvas of joyful impressions, of colourful festivals, festivities and traditions, Provencal markets, delicious sun-filled delicacies, walks in the countryside and relaxing activities…

Cézanne’s colours are all around you: more than just an experience, you’ll actually feel like you’re meeting the painter amongst the places and landscapes which marked the life, the eye and the work of the father of modern painting.

Our city will welcome you warmly whatever the season, with so much to see, to feel and to discover.

Sunset Lavender Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Sunset Lavender Tour from Aix-en-Provence - Image 1

Because if you go to the lavender fields to take pictures, the golden light is between 8pm and 9:30pm. During the day the light is very strong and it can be very hot. We will leave Aix-en-Provence at 4:45pm so we can catch the nice sunset when we get to Valensole plateau. The trip to get there is around 45 minutes. You will be surrounded by fields of lavender, the famous Provençal scented plant, abound here. We will also stop in a lavender distillery along the way where you have the opportunity to buy products directly from the producers; and we will leave you some free time in the village of Valensole. The best time for lovers of typical Provençal landscapes to visit is middle of June to end of July, when Valensole plateau is awash with beautiful blue lavender in bloom. It's a sight – and scent – to behold!

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Provence was gorgeous and splendid on a honey-orange summer afternoon. Provence was once a province in the southeast of France, now it occupies a large part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region, also known as PACA. The name alone says everything, Provence has the deep blue sea of ​​the Côte-d’Azur, the year-round snow-white mountains of the Alps. And somewhere between the sea and the mountains, are immense purple lavender fields to the horizon.

Without lavender, Provence also would be beautiful with its long Mediterranean coastline, warm sunshine all year round, with Briançon pine forests with golden leaves in every autumn, with Lake Serre-Ponçon reflecting the mountains, with the architectural works are solid and still standing of the Roman Empire in Arles, with the wild mountains and forests of Vercor, with Verdon gorge and turquoise waters, with Roussilon orange-yellow ocher mines, with a flooded Camargue biosphere reserve filled with flamingos, with the charming villages of Gordes, Montbrun-les-Bains, Banon, Moustier-Saint-Marie… true French than ever. Yes, Provence is not only lavender, but from the end of June to the beginning of August every year, lavender flowers still bloom on the sunny and windy slopes, adding a purple color to the already brilliant picture, full of scent, full of color.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

The car was busy driving on a small winding road through almond groves and fragrant lavender fields. From village to village, from Sault to Valensole, Provence summer noon was hot and cicadas chirped vibrantly. Somewhere around Sault, a gentle breeze caressed the lavender fields dotted with wild flowers, blowing through the open window, tossing my long hair. Opened my eyes to look through the window, so sunny, so cloudy! Memories of school days returned briefly, the sweltering heat of summer days, the sound of cicadas chirping throughout the sunny school yard and a purple color of Lagerstroemia indica flowers filled the small road. Going forever, going forever, seems to never get tired… through rolling hills, through orange houses with pastel blue windows, fields of sunflowers as yellow as the sun and fields of harvested wheat that are only scattered some round piles of straw. Then we went to Valensole.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Unlike in Sault, the lavender fields in Valensole were vast in a purple ocean. Each flower bed is neat, evenly, parallel to each other, seeming to gather only at the foot of the fanciful green mountains in the distance. If the lavender in Sault is as rustic as a village girl growing up in the fields of flowers and weeds, the lavender of Valensole is cared for to bring the appearance of a noble and lovely lady. Both were beautiful, the same fragrance, the same charm to the heart.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

The late afternoons in Valensole were wonderful, when the wind on the plateau gradually dispelled the blazing heat that lingers on the faded ground. Spreading a checkered towel between two lavender beds far from the main road, lied down and watched the clouds drift by, slided my fingers into the fresh, soft flower branches, inhaled the sweet fragrance of flowers to fill your chest. And time has really stopped, I could stay there forever, doing nothing, and never get bored. The bees are not constantly buzzing, the sun was red like a fire, burning the blue mountains on the horizon.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Sunset must be the most magical moment in the wavy lavender fields. Beneath the orange-pink clouds, the already purple flowers were more purple, more brilliant than ever. My mind followed the rhythm of the pink sun to bewilderment, squinting until the sun disappeared. A few minutes later, the last forgotten rays of sunlight dyed the clouds red for a moment before dying out. The splendor gave way to nightfall in Valensole. Fingers were still fragrant with lavender, and tomorrow will be a new day again…

Provence lavender season: Where to see the lavender fields in Provence, best places to see lavender fields in Provence

Lavender road.

The “lavender road” in Provence stretches over a very large area, hundreds of square kilometers. In which the 3 most famous areas and also the destinations of the most flower viewing tours are located in Valensole, Sault and Gordes. The map of «Lavender Road» and other must-know information can be found at www.routes-lavande.com (part of website in English).

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

The lavender fields in Valensole are the widest, well tended, the flower beds straight and free of weeds. The whole vast plateau is covered with purple lavender flowers. There are also rolling mountains on the horizon.

  • In my personal opinion, the most beautiful (but also the most crowded) lavender field to take picture in Valensole is located right next to the shop specializing in lavender extracts, Lavande Angelvin (Address: Campagne neuve, 04210 Valensole, France) on the edge of the village of Valensole (on the main road D6, towards Manosque, GPS coordinates 43.823942, 5.938959 ).
  • In addition, if you have more time to ride around to explore the Valensole plateau (“plateau de Valensole”), lavender is grown along the D8 road running towards the mountain. There are far fewer tourists here than near the village and there are still beautiful photo spots on the small roads weaving between the fields. On the Valensole plateau, it feels like all the flower fields are your own.

Sault Lavender Full Day Tour from Marseille

In Sault, the lavender fields are smaller than in Valensole. Yet these fields yield 40% of the flower production of the whole of France. Sault’s flower fields, which bloom from late July to mid-August every year, are nestled among the trees, surrounded by rolling hills.

  • From Carpentras, a small city near Avignon, to Sault you will pass through the Monieux pass on the D1 road. At the top of the pass, there is a stop for you to see the immense lavender fields and the Albion valley.
  • North of Sault, between Sault and Montbrun-les-Bains with the most beautiful flower fields in the region.
  • You can visit the flower fields at the foot of Sault village to take pictures of the romantic purple flower beds, with the background of the old village. GPS coordinates 44.091275, 5.404013 ).

In Gordes, there is a flower garden in front of the famous Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey, appearing on many postcards of Provence. However, you will not be allowed to go to inside the garden to take pictures. Specific opening hours to visit the inside of the monastery and ticket prices can be found at www.abbeyedesenanque.com .

Provence blog: When is best time to visit lavender fields in Provence?

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

What is the best time of year to visit Provence? Lavender flowers blooms beautifully from mid-June to mid-August every year. Depending on the weather (rain, sun and temperature), flowers can be bloomed 1, 2 weeks early or late. If you plan to visit an area, you should go at least 1 week before the Lavender Festival of that village. Lavender is harvested with a cutting machine, so it is very fast.

  • Gordes, Apt: mid-June to first week of July.
  • Areas of Valensole, Digne-les-Bains , flowers bloom beautifully in the last 10 days of June to mid-July.
  • Sault, Banon, Montbrun-les-Bains, Saint-Aubain-sur-Ouvèze, Lourmarin : mid-July to early August.
  • If you plan to go to both Valensole and Sault and Gordes, you should go to Valensole, take pictures of flowers first and then go to Gordes to visit one of the most beautiful villages in France. Finally, heading to Sault to admire the beautiful scenery but a bit shy, need to spend time searching for this area.

Provence travel blog: How to get to the best places to see lavender in Provence?

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

By public transport

Going by public transport to the Gordes and Sault regions is quite difficult, so I only guide you to Valensole where there are the most beautiful and vast flower fields.

Regional airports: Marseille, Avignon, Toulon and Nice.

To get to Valensole, first, take a train or bus from big cities to Manosque, a small city about 20 km from Valensole.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Taking a train to Manosque station – Gréoux-les-Bains. Train ticket website: https://www.voyages-sncf.com/ . Example about the distance and fare:

  • Aix-en-Provence: 40 minutes, about €15 to 20/1-way.
  • Marseille: 1 hour 20 minutes, about €19 to 22/1-way.
  • Avignon: 2 and a half to 3 and a half hours, €30 to 40/1-way (transfer in Aix or Marseille).
  • Nice: 4 to 5 hours, €40 to 50/1-way (transfer in Aix or Marseille).

Bus to Manosque stops at 2 stops: train station and routière station (address: Bd Charles de Gaulle). Taking the bus is much cheaper, the fare is only around €5, but it takes a little longer. Tickets can be purchased at the station or on the website https://www.info-ler.fr/ (website is in French only). There are 5 bus routes that pass through Manosque: 22, 25, 26, 28 and 29. Bus times can be found here: https://www.info-ler.fr/53-3C-Horaires-de-bus-et-cars-de-la-Region-PACA-3E-LER.html.

Then from Manosque to Valensole

  • By electric bike:  You can rent an electric bike (€17/half day, €26/1-day). Example: Bachelas Store (MBK), 24 Boulevard de la Plaine , is open every Tuesday to Saturday. Tel.: +33 (0)4 92 72 15 84. From Manosque to Valensole along the D6 road about 20 km long (1 way). This is a road for cars, the speed limit is 90km/h, so if you choose to ride a bicycle, pay attention to ride in a row and stay close to the right side of the road so as not to obstruct traffic and endanger yourself as well as others. The Valensole Plateau is located across the village of Valensole from the Manosque. Get out of the village, take the D8 road towards Puimoisson. All over the plateau is full of lavender, going until get bored, then come back.
  • By taxi (range €70 to €80/trip, can go 4, 5 people). Just google « Taxi Manosque » will have a lot of results for you to choose from. Taxi will take you to the field, play until getting bored, then just call, they will pick you up to the depart location.

Self-driving

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

You can rent a car in any major city, like Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon. If you come to Valensole, you should go from Aix-en-Provence (70km, 1 hour journey). If you go to Sault, depart from Avignon will be closer (70km, 1 hour and 15 minutes).

I often rent a car on the website https://rentalcars.com . The rental price is about €65/1-day for a small 4-seater car (excluding insurance if you want to buy more and gasoline fee).

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Currently, there are tours to see lavender from major cities in the region such as Avigon, Aix-en-Provence, and Marseille. The advantage of the tour is that it’s affordable, easy, convenient, and doesn’t have to be searched. The downside is that you can’t see lavender at the best time of light at dawn and dusk.

There are 2 types of tours:

Tours organized by the Office of Tourism (Office de Tourisme)

There are many tours for you to choose from, almost every day there is a tour to visit the fields and beautiful villages around, prices range from €55 to €65 for short tour (half day tour), €100 to €120 (full day tour). Book tours and inquire at the City Tourism Office, by phone or on the Internet. Eg:

  • From Aix-en-Provence
  • From Avignon

Private tour

  • Professional tours of French friends (search on google with the keyword “lavande tour + city name” will have a lot of results.
  • Tours organized by students and French-Vietnamese, including tours to visit villages, see lavender on request, may include a night’s room, time and price by agreement. You can search and join groups on Facebook for more details.

Tips for taking photos of lavender on sunny days

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

  • The best time to take photos of the day is from before dawn to about 9, 10am and from 6pm, 7pm after sunset.
  • Taking pictures of lavender in the early morning will be more purple than taking pictures in the late afternoon (around 6pm, 7pm).
  • If shooting in the evening, it is recommended to shoot at an oblique sun, with the sun on the left or right hand side, or backlit (the sun is in front of you). If photographed in the front light (the sun is behind you), the yellow-orange light of the sun will make the flowers appear slightly pale.
  • The lavender fields are most beautiful at sunset. On slightly cloudy days, after sunset about 5 minutes, the clouds will turn bright red which is also quite beautiful.
  • For dwarf photographers, to see the wide flower field, with long beds reaching to the horizon, you should stand in a high position to shoot down. If possible, bring a folding ladder, compact type, about 1 or 2 steps high. The field next to the Lavande Angelvin store that I mentioned above is already sloping, no need to bring a ladder to still get a good photo.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Distinguish 2 types of lavender: lavande vraie and lavandin: Same called lavender, but the flowers have many different varieties, the most common of which are lavande vraie (also known as lavande fine) and lavandin. Real lavender is called lavande vraie. Lavande vraie flowers are grown in the highlands from 600m to 1500m above sea level, each stem has only 1 straight branch, the flower bush does not spread around as much as the lavandin flower. Each stem has 3 branches, a main branch in the middle and 2 side branches on either side. Most of the fields are now planted with lavandin because of the higher yield.

Provence travel guide: Where can you go around in the Provence region?

Around valensole.

  • Lake Saint-Croix is ​​about 40 km east of Valensole, passing through the Valensole plateau, very convenient for you to go to see flowers and then visit the lake in the same day. The lake water has a very special turquoise color of Verdon gorge flows into. Here you can enjoy renting rowing boats, water bicycles, swimming in the lake, or simply enjoying the view from above.
  • Gorge du Verdon: one of the most beautiful gorges in France, created from the Verdon River. The Gorge du Verdon extends from Lake Saint-Croix all the way to Castellane. If you have a car, you can drive from Lake Saint-Croix (Gatelas Bridge) on the D952 road, to the Artuby Bridge and then back along the D71 for a view of the gorge. Going all the way on this road also takes a whole day, don’t schedule too much or you won’t be able to make it in time. This is also a paradise for those who love to go hiking, kayaking and adventure sports.
  • The village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a beautiful little village near Lake Saint-Croix, with a tradition of pottery making. The village is located on the poetic mountainside and is always named in the list of the most beautiful ancient villages in France. The village farmers market meets every Saturday morning.

Around Avignon

  • The Avignon region is the area with the largest concentration of Roman ancient cities in France, such as Nimes, Arles, Orange. These cities are located very close to each other, with monumental structures, listed by UNESCO. For example, the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, the Roman buildings in Arles, the bridge on the Gard River (Pont du Gard), the Roman theater in Orange. If you like ancient architecture then this is an ideal combination with the lavender tour near Gordes and Sault.
  • Provence is also famous for its many picturesque ancient villages. There is nothing more wonderful than after going to see the lavender fields, going to the village to stroll through the cobblestone roads under the shadow of the mossy ancient walls with a cool ice cream in hand. Beautiful villages near Avignon just a few dozen kilometers away are Gordes, Roussillon, Ménerbes, Barroux, Venasque, Les-baux-de-Provence.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Around Marseille

A my friend from Marseille once said: “Marseille is very ugly, but everything around it is beautiful”. Among them, I like coves (calanques) the most on the rocky coast from Marseille to Cassis. There are many ways to discover the calanques:

  • by cruise ship, tickets are purchased at the old port (vieux port) in the center of Marseille. See tour information here .
  • by road to see the coves from above. Having gone to the calanque many times, I prefer to go by road, although it is a bit more time consuming and strenuous. The most beautiful and easily accessible calanques near Marseille are Sugiton (located right behind the Luminy campus university dormitory), Sormiou, Morgiou. Particularly, Sormiou and Morgiou can go by car to the place if you go early before 7, 8 am. Each calanque has a different opening time for vehicles. See hours here . If you arrive outside of these hours, you can still get down to the calanque but will have to walk.

In the Marseille port area there are many interesting small islands on the Frioul archipelago, the most famous of which is Chateaux d’If, which inspired Alexandre Dumas to write the novel The Count of Monte-Cristo. Those who love literature can visit the island by boat. Train tickets are purchased on the old port (vieux port) Marseille or here .

Cassis is a small port city east of Marseille, very pretty with cute corners imbued with the coastal city of Provence. Beautiful beaches, hilltop fortresses, harbors teeming with fishing boats and yachts. Coming to Cassis, people often go sightseeing along the Route des Crêtes, visit Cap Canaille, trekking to the sea of ​​Port Pain, D’en-Vau …

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Aix-en-Provence (often called Aix for short) is a small city just half an hour from Marseille by bus or train. People often call Aix the most Provencal place in Provence. Little Aix with lovely and photogenic fountains, dotted somewhere in the old town. If you want to know what it’s like to live in a Provence city, stop by Aix.

When to visit the Lavender Fields

So, no one likes to hear the answer, it depends but unfortunately, it really does depend. When to see the Lavender in full bloom depends on the region you are visiting and whether the rains comes early or late in the year you visit.

However, below is a rough guide that might help you decide when you should see the Lavender in Provence.

In June most of the lavender in the region should be in bloom and early July the entire region should be covered in Lavender but it is also high season for the tourists.

Lavender amongst the grass over looking the mountains and lakes

The lavender in Provence is harvested around the 15th of July , however, if you visit the lower Luberon region they begin harvesting in late July.

By the end of July into August we have reached the tail of the lavender season, however, if you are lucky you can still see some lavender around but it will be more sparse.

In terms of the time of day to visit the Provence Lavender Fields, you will want to visit either at sunrise or sunset. Sunrise and sunset are the best time to takes photos as the light is softer and more golden. Even if you are not into taking photos, the lavender fields are less busy early in the morning or late in the evening.

How to get around Provence

Without a doubt, the best way to get around Provence is to hire a car . There is limited transportation options to see the Lavender fields.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Many of the roads are small so allow plenty of time so you are not rushing around the small roads. In Europe, many of the hire cars are manual, if you are not comfortable driving a manual make sure you hire an automatic.

The Best Tours of the Lavender in Provence

A hat sitting in the lavender with the sun fading in the background

If you would rather take an organized tour you can take day trips from Aix-en-Provence , Avignon or Marseille . Depending on the tour you take, you will have the opportunity to visit some museums or wineries. All of the tours take the whole day so make sure you allow time in your itinerary.

The best Lavender fields in Provence

Valensole plateau.

Ophelie, Limitless Secrets

A lavender field at sunset

The Valensole Plateau features some of the most beautiful lavender fields in France! Located around the village of Valensole in Provence , this area is definitely one of the most famous ones to see the lavender in bloom!

The best moment to visit the Valensole Plateau is at the end of June and the beginning of July, when the lavender is in full bloom. The best way to get there is by car , as the fields are not easily accessible by public transport.

You can reach the region of Provence with the train from Paris . The closest train station is Manosque- Gréoux les Bain, but you can also stop in Aix-en-Provence. From those cities it’s possible to rent a car.

This will allow you to wander around as there are many places to visit on top of the lavender fields in this area! Here are some photography tips for the lavender fields: take your photos at sunrise or sunset if you want to avoid the harsh light, the heat and the bees during the day. And if you want to avoid the crowd, it’s even better at sunrise!

There are a few lavender fields close to Valensole. And you will find them also round the towns of Riez, Puimoisson and Gréoux les Bains.

Here are some of the other things you do in this area. You can visit all the villages: they are all charming and typical! Valensole is a pretty medieval village and Riez features some Roman ruins. If you like hiking, swimming and nature you can go to the Gorges du Verdon and the Lac de Sainte Croix.

A great place to stay in Valensole is the Château du Grand Jardin . This romantic Chateau from the 19th century has been transformed in a bed and breakfast. 

Sénanque Abbey

Elisa, Travel France Bucket List

Rows of Lavender outside an old abbey

Exploring the lavender fields of Provence is one of the  top things to do in France . There are various areas with lavender fields in Provence, and the blooming season will depend on the area and the weather conditions during the previous months.

One of the top places to see the lavender fields in Provence is the Abbey of Sénanque. This is a cute Romanesque building located in the Luberon, not far from famous hilltop towns like Gordes or Roussillon.

The best way to visit theThe Sénanque Abbey was built in the 12th century and still today is inhabited by Cistercian monks. The monks spend most of the time praying, and they grow lavender around the building for their livelihood.

Today, it is possible to visit the public parts of the abbey on a guided visit. The abbey also has an extensive shop selling different lavender-based products and other souvenirs related to Provence.

Most of the visitors, however, come to Sénanque Abbey only to see the lavender fields. These are the most picturesque lavender fields in the region because of the abbey in the background.

The best way to visit the Sénanque Abbey is by car or on a guided tour from Avignon. Avignon has a wide choice of hotels for all budgets .

Gorge du Verdon

Izzy & Phil, The Gap Decaders

A lavender fields in provence with mountains in the background

The iconic lavender fields of France assault your senses with their vivid colour and fragrant smell. Seemingly stretching for mile upon mile of bee covered neatly trimmed rows, the lavender here is some of the best in the world.

Grown for culinary purposes and to provide fragrance for many different products, lavender is the life blood of Provence and ensures the incomes of many. The distinctive shrub blooms between mid-June and mid-July, and If you are road tripping in France at the right time of year, you’ll be surrounded by it!  

Stretching north from the Gorge du Verdon, across the beautiful Valensole plateau are field upon field of lavender. If you prefer to travel  off the beaten path in France , then stick to the fields close to Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon as they are a lot less visited than those closer to the town of Valensole. Alongside the dusky lavender, you’ll also find fields of sunflowers and wheat, surrounded by the picture-perfect villages of the region.

If you don’t mind crowds, head for Lavandes Angelvin. Uninterrupted views of lavender with perfectly shaped and positioned trees make this is one of the most photographed places in Provence. Wherever you go lavender hunting, get there early in the morning for the best light, fewer people and the chance of the best images.

Stay at the gorgeous Le Mas de La Crémaillère in Greoux-les-Bains for easy access to both Valensole and Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon. You’ll find a warm welcome, simple and stylish comfortable rooms, plus a pool for those hot Provencal afternoons.

Kat, Wandering Bird

Rows of Lavender Fields

Talk to anyone about seeing the lavender fields in France, and they’ll talk to you about Provence.

One of the best places in Provence for lavender fields is Valensole.

Valensole have some of the most popular lavender fields, which means you need to get there really early to avoid the worst of the crowds. 

There’s plenty of parking available at Valensole, even if you’re in a larger vehicle like a camper van. Expect to spend an hour or so wandering the fields (and taking way too many photos for Instagram!)

When you’re done, try and visit a lavender producer to see how the oil is manufactured- it’s a fascinating process. 

The fields are at their best anytime between the end of June and the middle of August. Each year is a little different as it depends on weather and heat- mid July is always a safe bet.

If you’re in the area in June and July, there’s plenty to do. If you want to avoid the crowds on the beaches, head inland and explore the breath-taking  Gorges du Verdon  and the surrounding lakes. There are plenty of cute BnBs and hotels in the area to stay at- try the Villa Borghese for beautiful surroundings and a great pool.

Drôme Provençale

Fiona, Travelling Thirties

Lavender fields at sunset

The Drôme Provençale is a hidden when it comes to the Lavender Fields in Provence.

The Drôme Provençale is surrounded by mountains, cliffs and picturesque villages, it is also filled with Lavender.

If you are interested in learning more about Lavender this is the place to bee. There are many museums, distilleries and farms where you can stop to learn more about the Lavender, how it used for medicinal purposes, the honey that is made and the floral aspects of Lavender.

Don’t forget to taste (and purchase) the local goods that are made from these beautiful Lavender fields.

Where to stay in Provence

Rows of Lavender with a single tree off in the distance

To get the best of the Provence region and to experience what life is like in this part of France, I recommend staying in an airbnb or even with the locals at a bed and breakfast.

If you would rather a hotel check out Aquabella Hôtel & Spa in Aix-en-Provence, Villa des Roses   in Luberon or Les Jardins de Baracan in Avignon

  • Dian Adriani J 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful relaxing morning in the Provence We met with Clemence at the meeting point near the rondelle close to Cours Mirabeau, then he drove us with the other guests (some already in the car from Marseille) towards the family owned Lavender store near their field. Here, the owned explained in french, which then Clemence translated, the difference between “Lavande” and “Lavandin”, the plant “imortelle” and their particular beneficial properties. They had a charming shop, I bought essential oils and soaps. Afterwards, he drove us to the lavender fields. It’s one of those experiences that one has to be there to understand the beauty. The fields he took us to was calm and beautiful. He picked a spot where there were not too many tourists, so we can take awesome pictures. There were rows and rows of fully blooming lavender. The whole scenery is like a postcard, but better, because of the pleasant lavender scent that surrounds us, and the faint sound of buzzing bees which I found strangely calming. The bees did not attack at all, they were busy going from flower to flower. He also took as to another lavender field, which was equally mesmerizing. It was a hot day, so I suggest bring a hat, a bottle of water and a fan. Then Clemence took us to a lovely small town, Valensole. We stopped there for a short time to explore and then he drove us back to the city. Clem was very nice, he explained everything fluently and making sure we’re comfortable. We had a wonderful experience, thank you for showing us the beauty of the Provence. Read more Written July 13, 2023

A Guide to Visiting the Lavender Fields in Provence

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

I have dreamed about a road trip around Provence to visit the beautiful lavender fields for YEARS! This past summer, I finally planned a trip back to France and I knew I had to visit for the 2022 lavender season! The region of Provence is known for its lavender fields and you won’t have to look hard to find them in June and July. If you are planning a trip to Provence, keep reading as I will be sharing everything you need to know including, when to visit, where to stay, where exactly to find the lavender fields and more!

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Where are the Lavender Fields?

The majority of the lavender fields of Provence are centered around the Luberon and Verdon plateaus to the north of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, and to the east of Avignon. If you’d like to visit the fields, I would recommend renting a car to get around. We made Marseille, France our home base while we were in Provence, and from there we planned a day trip in search of Lavender. You could also base yourself in Aix-en-Provence, which I would recommend over Marseille.

Like wheat or sunflower fields (which you can also find in the region), lavender fields are found bordering the roads. So just drive around the region and stop whenever you see a field that you fancy!

When to Visit the Lavender Fields?

Lavender starts to bloom around mid to end June until it is harvested end July to mid-August. The lavender blooming depends on the weather conditions, the variety and elevation. Generally speaking though, the best time to go to the Provence to experience the lavender in full, glorious scented bloom is between end-June and end-July.

If you don’t like the crowds and you want your lavender exploring to seem exotic, go before mid-July. True, the prime blooming for the lavender starts mid-July but that doesn’t mean you don’t get purple and blue hews earlier.

My recommendation for a “typical” year visiting lavender in the Provence would be the last part of June – right before the French are on holiday and most tourists arrive for high season. If you are interested in capturing sunflowers and lavender together, you will need to go mid to late July.

How to Get to the Lavender Fields?

The best way to plan your journey from Aix-en-Provence, Marseille or Avignon is by renting a car. It will give you the flexibility you need to visit the fields at your own pace. We rented a car from Avis , which is conveniently located in the Marseille Railway Station. If you plan to stay in Aix-en-Provence, there is also an Avis located at the TGV station.

Once you arrive at any of the lavender field locations, you can easily park on the street or in a nearby area to visit the fields. I would not recommend taking public transportation, but instead book a tour if you don’t feel comfortable renting a car. Check out the tours I have linked below.

  • Full Day Lavender Tour from Aix-en-Provence
  • Full Day Lavender Tour from Marseille
  • Fully Day Lavender Tour from Avignon

You’ll be traveling through more rural parts of Provence and public transport isn’t that frequent and won’t stop directly in front of the fields, meaning you’ll probably have some walking/hiking to do and won’t be able to cover multiple fields in a day trip.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

Where to Stay in Provence?

We stayed in Marseille at the AC Hotel Marseille Prado Veldrome . The hotel is in a great location and was perfect for our 2 night stay in Marseille. Unfortunately, although the hotel was great, we were highly underwhelmed by the city of Marseille and additionally, found it to be very dirty overall.

After spending half a day in Aix-en-Provence on our way to visit the lavender fields, I would highly recommend staying there instead. Aix-en-Provence is a quaint, small town filled with charming streets and endless amounts of things to do. It is easily accessible by train from Paris, if you fly to Paris first and spend a few days there. The Renaissance Aix-en-Provence Hotel is the perfect spot to spend your time in Aix-en-Provence and visit the lavender fields.

It may also be helpful to pick a home base depending on your travel time to the lavender fields from each area.

  • Marseille to Valensole Lavender Fields is about 1.5 hours
  • Aix-en-Provence to Valensole Lavender Fields is about a 1 hour
  • Avignon to Valensole Lavender Fields is about 1.5 hours

Where to Find the Lavender Fields in Provence

Drive through  D6 (Route de Manosque)  where the road is literally teeming with fields of these beautiful purple flowers.

If you’re coming from Aix-en-Provence, the Luberon, or Avignon – your first stop after exiting the A51 motorway at Manosque will be field Terraoma.

It’s quite easy to drive through Provence to the lavender fields. I suggest using Google maps and type in the coordinates of the exact field you want to visit. Once you’re there you essentially just keep driving down the same road and you will see multiple lavender fields, feel free to stop by any but the most popular ones are on the main road and you’ll see plenty of photographers and cars parked on the side of the road taking pictures.

Here are the Lavender Fields I visited:

GPS: 43.8191, 5.93266

These stunning fields at Terraroma are a more recent development. The rolling hills here are prime for photos, and there’s plenty of space for everyone to get their shot. You can’t miss the Terraroma sign smack in the middle of the field, but it’s easy enough to work around it with angles, cropping, or just walking towards the far end of the field if you don’t want it in your shot.

The Terraroma distillery is across the road, where you’ll park. So pop in and pick up some honey, soap, essential oils, or a bunch of dried lavender for your photoshoot while you’re there!

From here, the fields merge into your next lavender spot, Lavandes Angelvin.

Lavandes Angelvin

GPS: 43.82374, 5.93828

If you’ve visited Terraroma next door, you can just walk across to these fields.

If you’re coming by car, there’s a small car park on your right as you approach. Park your car there and pick up some tasty treats from the roadside stall selling lavender-infused goodies. Opposite this car park is where you’ll find the most photographed lavender field in Provence, with its iconic trees.

Pit Stop: Valensole Village

GPS: 43.837623, 5.987164

You can bypass Valensole Village and go straight through to your next lavender field, or pop into this charming village for an al fresco lunch or lavender flavored ice cream on your way. It’s a petite village, so a quick stop won’t take up too much of your time. It’s a great spot if you’re in need of water, food, snacks and even lavender for your photoshoot.

We decided to stop and explore the area and have some lavender ice cream, which was perfect on a hot summer day!

Gently Sloping Lavender Field

GPS: 43.88628, 6.05534

On the right-hand side of the road, as you drive away from Valensole and towards Puimoisson, you’ll find this expansive lavender field with a gentle incline at one end.

For some reason, this lavender field in Valensole is quieter than most, so it’s a good one to take portraits or family photographs – without having to worry about anyone getting in your shot.

Stone hut lavender field s

GPS: 43.89574, 6.11351

You may not notice the little stone hut when you first pull over. But it’s there, hiding just past a little dip in the lavender.

GPS: 43.85181, 6.11049

This field is known for its tiny stone hut in the distance. You can get some beautiful photos here as well without a ton of tourists.

Quiet lavender field among the trees

GPS: 43.84535, 6.15548

Continue on towards Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and you’ll find this vibrant field surrounded by luscious green vegetation. Again, it’s the natural swell of the earth that makes this one of the best lavender fields in Valensole.

sunset lavender tour from aix en provence

That concludes my tour of the Valensole lavender fields! This isn’t an exhaustive list, as I believe it’s best to leave a little room for discoveries along the way, but it gives first time visitors an overview of the area.

If you plan on completing this route in one day, I’d suggest starting early so you’ll have time to take in the villages and views as you go.

But, if you are on a short time frame, it’s possible to complete this lavender route (and have time for photographs) within 5 hours. You just won’t have adequate time to add on the village visits or make stops along the way.

Tips for Visiting the Lavender Fields

  • Bring plenty of water
  • Make sure to offline your route and maps of the area in case your connection is poor and you loose signal. This happened to us a few times during our drive through the South of France.
  • Eat in the town you’re coming from or bring snacks or a picnic for your drive. If you’re planning on visiting the villages on this Valensole lavender fields itinerary, you’ll struggle to find somewhere to eat outside of regular meal times
  • Beware of the bees! You will hear the bees buzzing away in the lavender fields and they are for the most part harmless, unless you’re allergic to bees of course.
  • Don’t stomp on the lavender. You will see there are trails in between the lavender. Make sure to walk on these trails and be mindful of where you are stepping.
  • The best time for photos is in the early morning or sunset when the sun isn’t so harsh.

Hi – thanks for the helpful tips. Do you think mid July is too late for the lavender in valensole — like July 8-12? Can I ask what time of year you visited/took these beautiful pics?

Hi Jillian, I visited towards the end of June. Every year the dates of when the lavender fields bloom vary, but typically its between June and July. I suggest contacting some of the lavender fields directly through Instagram or email so they can provide more accurate information.
