What you can expect

  • At the heart of this family estate in the Drôme Provençale, you will immediately be immersed in a soothing setting, surrounded by lavender fields and lush green hills. For 2 hours, alternative between hands-on workshops and moments of discovery, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

    We'll start with a workshop to create a scented plaster diffuser. You will choose your mould, pour the plaster, and personalise your piece with a few details and scents. This beautiful decorative object will fill your home with the scent of your time among the lavender fields. While the plaster dries quietly, it's time to explore the estate.

    We then invite you to discover the secrets of lavender. You will learn how to distinguish between the different varieties of lavender and lavandin, understand the harvest cycles, and explore the many benefits of this aromatic plant. We will also explain the distillation process we use to extract essential oils, as well as our approach to organic farming.
    The tour concludes with a tasting of a hot or iced lavender infusion, accompanied by our homemade crunchy biscuits.

    Finally, you'll be introduced to organic cosmetics. Guided step by step, you will make your own body balm using shea butter, beeswax, vegetable oil and lavandin essential oil. A time to share, ideal for friends or family, to discover the beneficial properties of each ingredient.

    Of course, you will take your creations home with you to prolong the benefits of this wonderful experience.
