Lavender-colored Provence
Lavender is inseparable from Provence, seizing the view and intoxicating your senses. The Valensole plateau is a postcard picture, with its lavender fields scrolling to the horizon. The landscapes are decked out in purple between June and July.
Fossils in the Haute-Provence Geopark

During your stay in the region, don’t miss the UNESCO museum interpretation centre, the Digne-les-Bains Geopark of Haute-Provence.
