As reliable as the sun rising, each June & July we are blessed with a magnificent display of Lavender, less than 30 minutes drive away , with the imposing back drop of Mont Ventoux the village of Sault is surrounded by fields of Lavender.
An amazing back drop to this Provencal village.
This year the dry spring has created particularly strong colours.
A picture paints a thousand words!
ditto!
And so what happens to the Lavender- it is cut by machine, tied by hand and sold the world over...
These bunches are being dried.
And in contrast with the lavender the fields of Barley
create an amazing foreground to the mighty giant Ventoux!
adjacent, another field of Lavender!
In Sault ,Daniel Mathieu , a well known local artist has captured the local scenery beautifully together with some great abstract paintings - do go and see.
If you would like to experience the Lavender book now for 2012!
