JUNE -Best places to see the lavender
Our favorite places in Provence to see the blooms? The lovely town of Valensole is home to some of the most famous lavender fields. Particularly concentrated and scenic, it hosts the most famous Lavender Festival in Provence on the third Sunday of every June.
Another favorite spot among lavender fans is the Plateau d’Albion – at the peak of the season, you’ll be treated to a sea of purple flowers stretching over 11 acres. Here, you’ll also find fields mixed with golden wheat.
Saint-Paul de Mausole in Saint Rémy de Provence, a monastery that previously hosted Van Gogh, also boasts a kaleidoscopic view. And we’d be remiss not to mention the Abbaye de Senanque near Avignon, which is flanked by luscious fields in endless watercolors of purple. You can also take a tour of this beautiful Cistercian Abbaye.
When is the best time to see the lavender fields in France?
Generally speaking, you can see the lavender fields blooming and flowering throughout the summertime. Mid-June through Mid-July are often the peak times for lavender flowering.
France’s lavender field bloom breakdown by month
Similar to the cherry blossoms in Washington D.C., viewing France’s lavender fields in peak bloom requires a little flexibility in your planning. The spring climate has a domino effect on the blossoming: it might cause an early or late bloom which then impacts when they’re harvested.
June: Mid-month is typically when the bloom begins, with most fields showcasing delicate purple flowers by the end of the month.
July: As the first weeks of July roll by, the lavender fields reach their peak. Lower altitude areas will peak sooner than higher altitude areas in the region. The later half of the month sees the harvest season begin.
August: Viewing lavender fields in all of their glory may be hit or miss in August, as many growers have already begun their harvest. By mid-month, the purple hue is all but removed as the lavender flowers are fully harvested for oil production.
