Lavendre, Mont Ventoux, Soleil.
I love it.
You can almost smell this picture. Pine, lavender, dust, garlic, rosé wine and pétanque
Don’t forget the pastis ;)
I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:
When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.
There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.
I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.
Lovely pics! Did you do the Ventoux on your bike? I hear it’s a legend amongst cyclists
Yes, i actually rode it yesterday.
And hundreds of road cyclists too, busiest mountain i have ridden.
Bravo ! The reviews on Google maps are a hilarious read. As many angry angry cyclists as there are angry angry drivers 😂
Bon voyage !
Oh that sounds funny, gonna read those now with my breakfast :)
Very nice. If I ever decide to visit will locals hate me for disliking wine?
I mean, you don’t need to tell them. Just order something else :)
Edit: actually i think you should give an ice cold glass of rosé a try though. If it really isn’t for you pour it secretly into the lavender pot.
