The best view in the Vaucluse?

The terrace in the village of Sault. Views right across the plateau to Mont Ventoux beyond. Is this not the best view in the Vaucluse? Just stop awhile, rest and let your eyes tell you the answer.

Scrumptious lunch


Fresh salads, delicious pasta, great plat du jour. In the Grand Café in Valensole village opposite the pretty fountain and lovely old lavoir. And a group of friends to share the experience. This is what holidays in Provence are all about.

Lavender ladies having fun




A beautiful sunny morning in July and here are the 'lavender ladies' group from the States lining up for their group shot in the lavender fields.




With photo opportunites at every turn, and later enjoying cake and fruit at the Ferme des Lavandes.


A perfect day out on their Real Provence lavender trip.

Finally they got the shot!

The lavender is at its absolute peak - all they had to do is make the shot.

And double wow!

On a clear morning in July on the Plateau de Sault such lovely sights



The lovely village of Aurel nestling up against the mountains, catching the morning light.

And a field of lavender sparkling in the sunshine.






No words necessary really.

Wow!




The only word for these superb lavender fields on the Plateau de Valensole this week! Lavender as far as the eye can see. And even sun flowers as well. What an amazing sight, just stunning.
