It seems like yesterday

South of France and lavender

The trip to Provence was designed to look at the lavender fields. I remembered this because I was asked here what kind of flowers. The question was about lavender, but lavender from the Crimea. I know that in the Crimea there are also lavender fields, but still the main place in Europe where lavender grows is Provence and Sault town.

I remember when in the evening in the light of my car's headlights I saw purple fields. It was magic.
The pursuit of the lavender fields began with the very congress in France. I drove along the coast, passed Cannes and Nice and turned to Avignon. France seemed very expensive even simple about the cost of roads.

I drove to France in the morning. In the afternoon I was in Avignon, where no car could find a parking spot. There was a holiday and the whole city was partitioned.
A little walk, we went to the town of Sault.

Already late in the evening I finally saw lavender fields.

And in the morning, having breakfast, I went on the outskirts of Sault, where there were many lavender fields.

It seemed that such fields should smell like lavender soap, but in fact, there is practically no smell. It is very thin and pleasant.

I had to go round several fields, because the state of lavender flowers is different everywhere. Somewhere very large and powerful flowers, somewhere small, but still very interesting.

In small villages around they sell everything that only possible made from lavender. And just flowers, and soap, and perfume, and souvenirs ...
