The flat southern part of the Plateau de Valensole is the most important lavender growing area in Provence. It is bordered by the Durance, Verdon and Asse rivers. In June and July, the area between Puimoisson and St-Jurs is a sea of purple. Valensole, the center of the plateau, is famous for its lavender honey.
