โ€œOn our first night in the countryside, I fell absolutely head of heels in love with Provence. [...] We saw our first field less than a mile from our hotel and we continued to find new fields around every corner, shouting and pointing whenever we spotted a new one. Walking among the lavender was an amazing sensory experience. I still remember the fragrant smell of fresh laundry and the unnerving sound of busy bees hovering over each bush.โ€

โ€œBecause the moment we reached Saignon, it became clear โ€“ there is no need for any particular effort, as the lavender fields are literary everywhere. From this point, we quickly evolved from stopping at every patch of lavender mixed with weeds to โ€œoh well, just another amazing lavender fieldโ€.โ€

โ€œI had the most magical sunrise experience here in the fields! [...] Iโ€™ll be honest, I was nervous when I was there in mid-July, but I got to see several fields at peak bloom and it was magical! Sault was a tranquil lavender dream, and Valensole was a stunning array of color in the early morning.โ€
