same sensation as that of Instagram from whom I knew it.
I had impressed her distinctive taste to combine with a unique style, attractive dresses and details, unusual accessories, colorful suits, satin dresses in the sunflower fields and the sunny sunny sunny births and sunsets in paddy fields With me ...!
e New Year's Babysitter, or a flickering under the plum blossom trees! My character is characterized by colors and beautiful people. And she was special, nothing less than the impression left of the photos. A personage coming to distant Asia to see the opening of a water lily that just happened to be the daylight ...
So was my acquaintance with him, and with the lavenders of Provence ... By Instagram. The essence, the color and the type of floral have drawn me to an endless ... It's like that aroma of coffee in Italian pastries, or Starbucks in New York, that attraction in the air, a Love Story!
So I decided to follow her!
I believe that for many of you, contact with this photographic service will be a recognition and inspiration for touching this blessed earth that smells flower fragrances, from what you will take with you, but not how. I was satisfied with some essences and with a little seed I planted in the garden in front of the offices ... Zhanna showed me how when she gave birth to a son, he who was crying day and night only found peace there.
I hope that this photographic service inspires you to discover one of the most beautiful places in South France, is a dream that lasts a few weeks. The fields are in full bloom from the end of June to the middle of July and then begins the lavender harvest that is the reason for traditional feasts, until mid-August. On the third Sunday of July in Valensole there is the Feast of Livandë, but there every day is a holiday of nature.
I will make a guide, based on my experience, which I do not guarantee you is the best, but is certainly filled with beautiful scenery and unforgettable experiences.
If you go there by air, Marseille airport is the closest. It takes just an hour and a half drive north to reach the heart of the Provence region of Luberon, where it is home to stunning vineyards and trees, five of France's most beautiful hilly villages, Gordes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Roussillon and Lacoste Ménerbes, who are mentioning names if you want to visit them, with strong local color markets and their authentic flavor, and of course the fields of lavender that all over, color and flavor everything. In the southeast of France, even lavender turtles are known, crossing the alleys near the Alps in Provence.
From the Provence villages, Gordes can tell you it's amazing. Many well-known artists have had and have homes there and are not wrong. The apartments rotate around the cliff and on top of it lies the Gordes church that sees the hills of Luberon. From the top you can see the castle of this village, considered one of the most beautiful of France. If you want to stop somewhere for an aperitif, I would advise you the La Bastide de Gordes hotel with its terrace overlooking the green hillside opposite.
The largest original carvings of lavender around the globe, which you see in many photo bloggers fashion or travel blogs, is the plateau of Valensole, where my photos were taken by Zhanna. 500 m south of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, this area covers 800 square miles and besides the lavender aromatic fields, it also finds typical villages to be filled with the aroma of nature, soil and soul of this blessed country.
If you come from Luberon, say from the beautiful Gordes that should not be missed, you have to travel to the southeast about 1 and a half hours by car, but you can first stop at Manosque, where the L'Occitane factory is located Known that there is already a point in Tirana, established to preserve and spread Provence's tradition.
Every visitor is able to develop a free tour within the factory that gives you the essence of this brand of well-being product for the body and home for an hour. During the year, the factory is open from Monday to Friday, but in the June-August season you find it open and Sunday even though you can not see the activity. While the interactive museum, adjacent to it, is a wonderful experience of the senses. You find it open during the year from Monday to Saturday, while from June to August it is also open on Sunday. Your tour in this country can include the garden, open on the same day as the museum.!
Only 15 or 30 minutes away by car, continuing towards the southeast, the fields of Valensole's lavender are opened. The time there is depending on your energy to turn the day into a set of pictures. Levanda is only in the fields, it is found in any shape, dried, as essential oil, as a spray, in cakes, and even this area is known for its lavender honey, with a delectable delicate flavor that you do not have to leave without being tried in the village And Valensole's. You will never be convinced that you have taken as many photos as you can, however, time is a good discipline and you will certainly need to continue the journey not to lose and other valuable places.!
About three hours in the Southeast, there are two medieval romantic cities filled with art, Vence and Saint Paul de Vence. In Saint Paul de Vence, find the contemporary and modern art museum, Fondation Maeght, while in Vence trace the great painters Chagall and Matisse.
Of course if your vacation days and budget allow you, you can continue your journey even further to the southeast to go to the fabulous French Riviera of the Blue Coast. Saint Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Monaco are all along the coastline, while you with the scent of lavender in the nostrils, you will surely enjoy this miracle a bit like a local resident who has seen and touched the traces of art, culture And the nature of this region so unique.
Accommodation in southeastern France offers many opportunities. You can choose one of the Chateaux style hotels that are a wonderful opportunity for the long days spent in discovering this region, but you can also rent villas at an affordable price if you are a group of friends.
For food and drink
Provence is France's most famous region, not all over the globe, for Rosé wines, but there are also no countries producing red or white wines. If you are a fan of wine, do not leave without enjoying the Côtes de Provence Rosé, the Bandol Rouge, the Tibouren Rosé and the white Cassis wine, depending on the time and the food you accompany.
Lemonade sweets are also a sweet reminder that you will remember long.
Do not miss the delicate flavor of lavender honey in the village of Valensole that will seamlessly seal the walk through the lilac plains.
