Lavender fields in Provence: where and when to see them<\/h1>\nWhere to see lavender in Provence, the best time to go and how to respect the fields across the Luberon, Sault and Valensole.\n\n<\/header>
\n

The best time depends on altitude<\/h2>\n

In the lower parts of the Luberon, flowering generally begins in mid-June and often peaks from late June to mid-July. At higher elevations it may last longer, while harvest dates vary each year.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n\nLuberon<\/b>\n

S\u00e9nanque and the villages<\/h3>\nAn iconic and very popular landscape: visit early in the morning.\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\nSault area<\/b>\n

Altitude and wide-open spaces<\/h3>\nFlowering is often later, with beautiful panoramic roads.\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\nValensole Plateau<\/b>\n

Far-reaching views<\/h3>\nThe most famous rows of lavender, along with high visitor numbers.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Respect is essential:<\/b> never enter the fields, pick flowers, block farm roads or trespass on private property.<\/div>\nFlowering information is updated by Destination Luberon<\/a>. Check conditions a few days before your visit.\n\n<\/section>
\n

A two-day lavender itinerary<\/h2>\n
\n\nDay 1<\/strong>\n
\n

Gordes, S\u00e9nanque and the northern Luberon<\/h3>\nStart early, see the S\u00e9nanque valley without entering cultivated fields, then continue through the villages.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nDay 2<\/strong>\n
\n

Simiane-la-Rotonde and the Sault area<\/h3>\nHead into more open landscapes and add a distillery or museum to the day.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>
\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
Can you see lavender in August?<\/summary>Depending on altitude and harvest dates, some areas may still be in flower, but this can never be guaranteed. Late June to mid-July is generally safer.\n\n<\/details>
Can you take photos in the fields?<\/summary>Only from authorised access points, without trampling plants or crossing fences. The fields are private working farmland.\n\n<\/details><\/section>
