    Now’s your moment to see it in full bloom. Now imagine standing there, in the heart of Valensole, with the scent of lavender all around you and golden sunflowers swaying in the breeze. It’s not just beautiful – it’s unforgettable. The lavender is blooming right now, but only for a few short weeks. This is your chance to live that dream – before it fades for another year. And here’s a tip – bring a good camera, and wear clothes that contrast with the colors around you. White, light blue, or earthy tones look amazing in the fields. The photos will be unforgettable. Lavender Fields – Seasonal Splendor (June to mid-July) Lavender season doesn’t last – by mid-July, it’s already fading.
