The dreamiest day in France! Our guides had 2 vans and drove us from Marseille to Valensole and the areas nearby. The lavender was in full bloom in mid-July, and the fields were simply amazing! The fields delighted all of the senses—the intoxicating smell, the buzz of the bees, the intense purples, and the tickle of the stems touching our legs. The beauty of it all filled our hearts with joy. Our guides took us to several fields and drove us by many more. We visited a farm that grew lavender, grapes, flowers, olives and kept honey bees. We were able to taste all of their delights and buy some of our own. As we headed into the mountains, we witnessed even more beauty. We had lunch in a high mountain village, before heading to a gorgeous lake. Our guides were very friendly and informative, and were very careful as they drove through the mountain roads. We finished our tour on time and we were so thankful for such a dreamy day!
