Provençal Lavender Farm Tour

We'll start our guided tour of an authentic Provençal lavender farm by meeting at the entrance to Un MAS en Provence in Bellegarde.

We will stroll through the lavender fields to discover the secrets behind this aromatic plant. We will explore lavender cultivation methods and the source of its intense mauve hue in the landscapes of Provence.

From the fields, we will proceed to the farmhouse's distillery to see the steam still. This machinery allows us to witness the essential oil cultivation process and observe how high-quality organic essential oils are made.

Our visit continues in the projection room with a short video about daily life on the lavender farm. Following this, we will participate in an olfactory initiation workshop to learn about different essential oils and how to identify them for daily use.

After 1 hour of lavender exploration, we will return to the starting point to conclude our visit.
