Lavender Season in Provence

Lavender fields are one of Provence’s signature summer sights, drawing visitors from all over the world. Flowering generally runs from mid-June to late July, with peak color most often in early July, though exact dates change each year with weather, altitude, and harvest patterns.

A Short, Ever‑Changing Bloom

Because lavender is a cultivated crop, growers harvest quickly as soon as the flowers are ready. This means the most vibrant fields can change from week to week, and the viewing window in any given area can be quite short.

Flexible Itinerary Following the Bloom

Instead of following a fixed route, this tour adapts each day to the best flowering spots. Your guide selects roads through the Luberon and surrounding Provençal countryside where lavender is currently in bloom, so you enjoy the most colorful fields available during your travel dates.

Postcard Landscapes of Provence

Along the way, you may see rolling purple fields set against stone villages, olive groves, and distant mountain ridges – the classic postcard views of summer in Provence, with regular stops for photos and short walks.

Seasonal Provençal Experience

Beyond photography, your guide also introduces the role of lavender in local life, from traditional agriculture to essential oils and perfume. With a maximum of eight participants, the small-group format keeps the pace relaxed, with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere.

    Roberto 02, Jul 2025 Wonderful trip to the lavender fields! Stopped at two separate locations to take pictures and experience the fields. We also visited a market to learn about the nature and history of the fields; taste various lavender infused foods and grab some refreshments. And had time to stop at a sunflower field. Morgane was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and fluent in both English and French. Excellent trip overall.

    Laura 13, Jul 2023 Era da molto che desideravo visitare i campi di lavanda in Provenza, e grazie a questo tour sono riuscita finalmente a farlo. Caroline, la nostra guida, era molto preparata e molto simpatica! Parlava molte lingue quindi è riuscita a includere un po' tutti nel gruppo con le sue spiegazioni. Abbiamo visto un paio di campi stupendi e il villaggio di Valensole, dove abbiamo anche provato il gelato alla lavanda. Il prezzo del tour un po' caro forse, ma comunque ne vale la pena. Grazie della bella esperienza!

    N/A 04, Jul 2022 Great trip with a great guide! We spent what felt like a good amount of time (15-20 minutes maybe) in two different fields with incredible views of fields and mountains. We also got to go to a local lavender merchandise shop and spent a little bit of time in a local town where we got lavender gelato and other desserts. We did a lot in a short amount of time and our guide did an amazing job throughout the entire trip. Totally recommend if you’re not into doing a full-day trip!

  • Will I definitely see lavender?

    Tours operate only during the blooming season, but flowering intensity varies naturally each year.
  • Why aren’t exact locations guaranteed?
