What to expect
After pickup from central Avignon, you'll drive into rural Provence to reach a family-run farm nestled among rows of flowering lavender. Farmers walk you through the growing season, harvesting techniques, and how they extract oils through distillation. You'll have space to wander the fields and photograph the landscape. The second half shifts to a creative workshop where you'll blend and bottle your own lavender-based product—soap, sachet, or oil blend depending on the day's focus. Expect to use your hands and follow simple instructions; no prior craft experience needed.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for farm walking and bring a hat or sunscreen—there's minimal shade in the fields. The workshop is indoors and air-conditioned. Hotel pickup isn't included; meet at the central Avignon departure point. No food or drinks provided, though water is available.
