Summer in Provence: under the Magic of Lavender in the Valley of Sun

Valensole, the Valley of Sun, known for its breath-taking lavender fields, offers a magical color and smell experience.

Keep in mind that lavender fields, the symbol of Provence par excellence, bloom from mid-to-late June to mid-to-late July. So if you are in the region, don't miss a visit. The Valensole pleateau is one of the biggest lavender producers in France and keeps attracting thousands of tourists every year. Don't be surprised to see couples or groups of people hunting the best photos in the fields.

For a photoshoot in Valensole I've opted for a white light dress, a hat and surely sunglasses (and don't forget sunscreen). Those nature-inspired hand-made earrings were a lovely touch up for my look. You can find those here:

We were lucky enough also to pass by wonderful sunflower fields:

If you are not only a fan of nature, but also of a stunning architecture, you might also want to walk through the streets of Aix-en-Provence, known as the ''City of a thousand fountains'' and a birthplace of post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. Aix-en-Provence is around an hour car ride from Valensole.

See you soon!
