Provence’s blue gold, the lavandar (4h)

SMELL THE SOUTH – A FRAGRANCE OF PROVENCE

In France, lavender was first grown in the 19th century, as the industry of perfumery developed. The provencale part of Gard started to beautify the countryside with lavandin (hybrid lavender) and lavender fields approximately 50 years ago. Our “terroir”, composed of sunny slopes and stony grounds, suits this plant perfectly. The “lavande aspic” variety grows spontaneously in the “garrigue”.

The best season to admire the amazing blue flowers is between the 5th of June and the 15th of July. After this date, the harvesting of the lavender begins, so don’t be late!

We can stop in the middle of lavender fields to have a picnic composed of local delicacies.
Enjoy nature, sitting in a convertible 2CV, inhaling the perfume of garrigue and lavender fields!

Accessibility

My tours are accessible to all: children, adults, seniors and people with handicapes*.

I don’t have seat belts in the back of my cars (vintage cars) so if you need a seat belt attachment or other hardware, it will be difficult. Let me know what you need.

*Please use my contact form to send me your needs and expectations. The wheelchair equipment does not fit in a 2CV, but the alternative is possible – with the Estafette (minivan).
