Going on a family trip is a memorable experience that creates precious memories for a lifetime. If you’re looking for an idyllic destination for a family getaway, the Plateau de Valensole and its surrounding area, located in the heart of Provence, France, offers a magical journey through lavender fields and enchanting landscapes. In this article, we invite you to explore this picturesque region and discover the wonders that await you on your family trip.
The Plateau de Valensole: A lavender paradise
The Valensole plateau is world-famous for its endless fields of purple lavender. In late spring and early summer, the landscape is transformed into an ocean of color, creating a breathtaking spectacle that fills visitors with wonder. It’s a unique opportunity for children to marvel at the beauty of nature and take great family photos amid the fragrant flowers.
Lavender fields are not only aesthetically pleasing, they also offer an unforgettable sensory experience. Children can smell the intoxicating aroma of lavender in the air and gently touch the delicate flowers. Certains agriculteurs permettent même aux visiteurs de participer à la récolte de la lavande, ce qui peut être une activité amusante et éducative pour toute la famille.
The picturesque villages of Provence
As well as lavender fields, the area around the Valensole plateau is full of charming, picturesque villages well worth exploring. Among the most remarkable is Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, listed as one of France’s most beautiful villages. Nestling at the foot of steep cliffs, this village is famous for its narrow streets, stone houses and picturesque waterfalls. Children will love strolling along the cobbled streets and discovering the local craft stores.
Another gem of the region is Riez, a small medieval town with a rich historical heritage. It is home to some magnificent Roman remains, including the Riez columns and the Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption cathedral. Families can enjoy a relaxing stroll around the historic monuments and learn about the history of this fascinating region.
The Gorges du Verdon: A natural adventure
Lavandin also has a scent that repels insects and parasites. It can be used to keep mosquitoes, moths, ants and other pests away from your home, while providing a pleasant fragrance.
Placing a few sprigs of dried lavandin in your cupboards or drawers can also help protect your clothes and textiles from moths.
Authentic gourmet cuisine
A family trip wouldn’t be complete without a taste of delicious Provencal cuisine. Provence is renowned for its tasty dishes based on olive oil, aromatic herbs and fresh produce. Take advantage of local markets to discover regional specialties such as ratatouille, farcis, tapenade, olive oil and, of course, delicious lavender ice cream!
