Tours of lavender distilleries
We visited several lavender distilleries in this area. We also attended two workshops at a distillery - one was soap-making and the other, cutting the lavender and making the essential oil at Aroma Plantes Distillerie. We really enjoyed these experiences. Every where we drove by we could see fields of lavender. We learnt how much work goes in to producing essential oils of lavender. The scenery was beautiful. Totally recommend a visit.
