A family-run beekeeping tradition, authentic and traditional since 1925.
A passionate beekeeper and his bees combine effort and expertise to create high-quality honeys that capture the true taste of Provence, the land of sunshine.
For over a century, the Laponche family has been preserving the art of beekeeping with dedication and exacting standards, passed down from generation to generation.
The beekeeper follows the seasons and the rhythm of the blooms. He travels long distances, often along rugged paths, to move his hives and provide his bees with a wide variety of nectars (Lavender, White Heather, Provence, Garrigue, Chestnut, Acacia, Pine, Maquis, Thyme, Alps, etc.).
Tastings available at the shop.
