Hi
It is grown inland in Cote d'Azur, Provence and Languedoc as a cash crop.
The perfume museums in Grasse follow the process from field to expensive bottle !

And it grows wild as a "weed" (!) all over Nice. I love it!

Re: Lavender
Thanks Elena and everyone,
I am not confidant enough to travel by myself that is why I was asking for advice.
Longerdoc where is that?
I loved the comment about the bees. Also is late June a good time to see the
lavender?
I had a look at http://www.aroma-tours.com/tour-list.htm and the tours look nice.
Many thanks,
Paula

Follow seasonal advice and email anyone on any site you can find. I was there during
"the season" but it had been cooler beforehand and it wasn't in bloom.

Thank you so much for your advise but I think I will be joining the aroma tours
group. They sounded really nice and have a trip at around the end of June which is
just as you suggested.
As I will be traveling by myself I think I will enjoy being in a small group and
their tour sounds wonderful with lots of lavender which is my passion.
If anyone is interested their site is at http://www.aroma-tours.com Maybe I will see
one of you there
Many thanks to everyone,
Paula
