The Pays de Sault sits on a high plateau, creating a cooler climate for the lavender to bloom later in season. However, Pays de Sault's landscape isn't just endless rows of lavender. It is a beautiful mix of bright yellow sunflowers, green olive trees, old bories and vineyards over rolling hills and stunning French villages.
There are many lavender fields, distilleries and scenic views around Pays de Sault. This guide has my recommendations for a family day out among purple fields and pretty pit stops.

The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region is quite large and can be broken into 3 sections: the Provence section, the Alps and the Côte d'Azur.
When visiting this region of France, I HIGHLY recommend trying to dedicate enough time to each section because they are so incredibly unique and diverse!
Below you can find all of my personal guides and itineraries for the PROVENCE part of this region. Think small villages, lavender and beaches!!
Also, at the end of this guide, you can find some logistical FAQs about the region (how to get around, how to get to/from the airport etc). Be sure to check it out!
