Lavender Season in Provence: What You Need to Know

Send us Fan Mail

If you've ever seen a photo of Provence in June and thought you needed to go there immediately, same. This week we're talking all things Provence during lavender season, which is hands-down one of the most beautiful places either of us has ever been. Lovely with a capital L.

We cover the lavender fields (yes, you can actually walk into them, unlike the tulips), the farm stands set up along the roads where you can stock up on honey candies, soap and candles and basically anything lavender can be put in. We also get into the stunning Gorges du Verdon and Lac de Sainte-Croix, the tiny ridiculously French village we stayed in and the Airbnb situation that earned us our one and only bad review. Spoiler: they wanted us to do the laundry. European laundry. With no dryer. Rebuttal filed.

Plus timing tips for catching peak bloom and what to know before you go.
