The harvest begins in mid-July but varies from year to year depending on temperatures and rainfall. The lavender bloom begins in the warmer southern regions in mid-June and unfolds progressively according to altitude, with blooms arriving later in the cooler mountains and peaking throughout July and into August. Lavender and tourism are two of Provence’s biggest industries and during lavender season you’ll be fully immersed in both. But each circuit could also be covered in a four-day weekend with stops for taking in the scenery and some picnics along the way.

You can do all three of these circuits in a week to ten days – or a more enjoyable two weeks, for those with the time. We’ve broken down the many routes into three essential itineraries that cover the best scenery, villages and lavender-themed activities. Provence’s lavender routes cover more than 600 miles and the region’s most photogenic scenery and villages, stretching east from the Vaucluse and Luberon to Grasse and the Côte d’Azur, and all the way north to the mountainous upper reaches of the Drôme Provençale. Swathes of the spiked flower’s vividly hued clusters rolling in long iridescent waves to the mountains beyond is indeed a sight to behold. Lavender is to Provence what tulips are to Holland, or cherry blossoms to Japan. Jennifer Ladonne hits the road to sniff out the most mesmerising violet vistas and the prettiest of perched villages.
