The harvesting starts from mid-July but the season ends late August, so off we went, firstly to the famed Valensole Plateau, at 500m in the Haute Province, where the fields are legendary.
But harvesting had happened, we saw the rounded but very green remains of the shrubs. We did see some very young bushes though but the effect is not the same.
Breathing lightly through disappointment we moved on.
As it happens and when least expected, en route to Mont Ventoux, the lavender was still in full bloom around Sault!
Beautiful.
Iconic.
Haute Province.
Happy.
