Ok, so they’re not listed as one of the 7 wonders of the world, but I think visiting the lavender fields in Provence are one of the most wonderful experiences on the planet. Imagine walking out into this sea of bliss; beautiful lavender, rich in color and overflowing with fragrance. It is certain to intoxicate the senses.
The lavender blooms for only a short time every summer. For the past 2 years, Beth and I have assisted in a Provence photo tour for University Students. The students were as mesmerized with the fields as the adults. This year we are organizing an adult group. If you're interested in seeing and photographing lavender fields, you are invited to join us! The dates for the tour will be June 28th - July 8th, 2008. We'll be staying in a beautiful and spacious 7 bedroom/ 7 bath villa in the medieval village of St. Cecile les Vignes. There will be daily excursions with time to shoot photos and explore on your own, then a chance to share your images in the evening. We will leave the excursions and sharing optional, but will provide these opportunities. If you have a friend or spouse that isn't interested in photography, there will be plenty for them to do as well. Included in the tour is transportation, lodging, daily breakfasts, and some additional meals. We also plan to do some wine tasting :-)
Space is limited! We have been travelling to Provence for several years and know which lavender fields are the most spectacular. If visiting a lavender field in Provence is on your life list, I invite you to seize this opportunity. Please contact me for more details.
