Our operations
Nestled
in the heart of the Plateau de Valensole
in the heart of the Plateau Valensole, our family-run business is a love affair with lavender that has been going on for four generations. The plateau’s altitude of 500 meters and its vast 800 km² of land dedicated to lavender and cereal cultivation make it an ideal environment for our fields of
lavender
and
lavandin
.
Initially grown conventionally, our lavender has benefited from organic farming practices since 2002.
organic farming
. We were pioneers in this field on the
Plateau de Valensole
recognized for the exceptional quality of our work. Today, we are also in the process of converting to
biodynamic agriculture
an environmentally-friendly approach that treats soil, plants and livestock as an interconnected system.
In 2015, our desire to share our products directly with you germinated over a family meal. Until then, our production was sold to wholesalers and agricultural cooperatives. We, Samuel and Emma, decided to devote ourselves full-time to this new adventure, leaving my father, an expert in lavender cultivation, to oversee production.
We began by building a charming
charming little temporary hut in the middle of our lavender fields
at the entrance to the
Plateau de Valensole
. Thanks to your enthusiasm, we have expanded our direct sales, built a larger hut and, in 2019, opened
our boutique in the center of Valensole
.
At the same time, we have developed a
range of natural cosmetics made with our lavender essential oil
in line with our ecological approach. These 100% natural products are made in France from olive oil and sunflower oil.
In 2022, we remodeled our cabin with wood and steel to blend in perfectly with the landscape.
This one-of-a-kind cabin is well worth a visit
.
Thanks to your support, most of our production is now sold directly, which enhances the value of our work and ensures a fair price, without intermediaries.
We invite you to meet us in Valensole, in our
village store
or in our
in the middle of the fields
during the exceptional lavender and lavandin flowering season. Come and experience the unforgettable
Plateau de Valensole
in bloom.
We look forward to welcoming you,
Samuel
