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.
Nah, I've tried many different kinds of wine on plenty of occasions and never liked one. Except for Porters, which are technically wines too, but... I'd rather have glass of water than wine.
