These walks have been carefully chosen to bring you into close contact with the scents and flavours of Drôme Provençale. Wander along little-known paths which weave through vineyards, orchards of peach, apricot, and cherry, woods with truffle oaks and lime trees. Then high on a hill, just breathe in the heady perfume that drifts across a field of lavender. Explore delightful Provençal villages along the way, and linger in the shade of leafy paths in an unspoilt nature drenched in the intense light of the south.
A holiday full of the sights and scents each season has to offer, where your hosts will welcome you with becoming warmth.

Lavender who?
 You may have realised that there is lavender, and then there’s lavender…in fact, there are around 30 varieties, although but only three are common in France.“Lavandula Stoechas” (marine lavender) grows wild around the Mediterranean, but is no longer cultivated as it once was – exclusively - in the Middle Ages. “Lavandula Latifolia” (aspic lavender) grows wild in the south of France from about 800 metres. “Lavandula Angustifolia” (‘true lavender’) is cultivated in France. It may also be found growing wild in the dry mountain areas of the south, from 600 to 2000 metres. Finally, “Lavandula X hydrida” (known in France as "lavendin") is a natural hybrid of true and aspic lavenders. Generally sterile, it can however be grown from cuttings. It is also found growing wild side by side with other varieties between 600 and 800 metres. |
