France's largest lavender-growing plateau, stretching across the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence between Manosque and Gréoux-les-Bains. Fields extending to the horizon bloom from late June to early August, producing the violet-and-silver landscape that defines Provençal summer imagery. The village of Valensole sits at the plateau's centre, surrounded by almond orchards that blossom in February for a second photography season.
