The Lavender Trail : a land, a spirit, an exploration

The flower of Haute Provence, "the Lavender Trail" offers you a chance to explore an area - its history, its landscapes, its people and their skills - forever marked by this "little" mountain plant whose fame, through the centuries, has travelled right around the world.

Created in 1996 to support lavender production through unified, quality tourism, the organisation "les Routes de la lavande" is now handing over to the Grande Traversée des Alpes.

Lavender today: men and women - agricultural activity ...

Quality accommodation throughout your stay, rich and varied activities, workshops, sales outlets and treatment centres will help you to discover the virtues of this magical plant, which is still a symbol of the south and of Provence. Since 1981, the essential oil which is extracted from it has - like great wines - had its own AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée).


You can discover the "lavender spirit" at any time of the year! More than 150 experts are waiting to share it with you.
