De Avignon: excursão de lavanda a Sault

I had an amazing day during my tour! We went to Sault and we saw lavender fields even it's late, we took a tour of the town, and we also visited a lavender farm. Our guide was awesome, very kind and helpful, providing me with lots of interesting information and excellent recommendations. He also gave us the time to take wonderful photos, and he even took photos of us. I loved it! I highly recommend this tour.

The first thing that we were told when we got in the car was that the lavender season was over and that we should have come between mid June to mid July for it. Seriously. Very disappointing since I paid for the tour for lavander. I nearly wanted to not go at all and get a refund. But we went, we saw some fields that the guide insisted that the lavander doesn’t look like that (because we came in so late) We stopped at different fields, saw the distillery process and got a lavander ice-cream at the end. Our guide was chatty and nice, if she didn’t start with that statement that “we are too late, don’t think you’ll see anything but we will have fun anyway” … maybe I would have enjoyed the trip more.

Soléne was an amazing guide and gave everything to make this tour a great experience. We got a lot of infos about the different kinds of lavender, the distillation process and usage of the essential oils. Also we learned some general things about the areas we were passing by. And we were actually able to see the last fine lavender fields! I was convinced that I missed everything but Soléne knew where to find them. The van was air conditioned and the group I was going with very fun. The only reason for this one star missing is, that I was hoping to see more lavender fields, since the tour called “lavender field tour” was still bookable, and the distillery was also not operating. I still super enjoyed it and I’m happy I went, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have seen any lavender on this trip. Thank you, Soléne!
