In late spring to early summer is the ideal time to make a lavender road, because it is during this period that the plant is in bloom. Lavender has a purple flower.
The flowers in lavender fields color the landscape an unusual and surprising way.
There are several routes of lavender. We will present that we made between the Drôme and Vaucluse.
La Garde-Adhémar
The beginning of our journey begins at the Garde-Adhemar a beautiful hilltop village of Drôme Provençale.
In this medieval village you can stroll through the beautiful streets to the central square. At the foot of the Saint-Michel church, take a few minutes to wander through the Remarkable Garden.
