Provence is a region famous for wine as we well know but it is equally famous for growing another highly desirable crop, lavender. The lavender fields of Provence are legendary for their beauty and amazing scent. Growing lavender in this region is so established that lavender is perceived as the scent of France but the lavender oil produced here is sold all over the world. Many of the visitors we have here at La Verrière enjoy our own lavender, but they also visit the larger lavender fields and we feel it is a real source of pride for the region so here is a little more about lavender in Provence.
