Sylvie and Thierry, producers and distillers, welcome you to their farm to discover the famous blue flower called Lavender.
Onsite, they will explain the methods of cultivation and cutting the lavender until the delivery of the plant to the distillery, as well as each step of the distillation process.
The distillation is carried out in a traditional way, using lavender straw as fuel to produce the water vapour necessary for the extraction of essential oils. You will discover their different uses.
The distillery is located at the beginning of the “Lavandes” Trail which winds through our farm.
