Lavender season in Provence is getting closer, and peak season is from June to August. This photograph was taken outside the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, near the village of Gordes in the Vaucluse department. The Cistercian abbey was founded in 1148 and the monks who live there grow lavender and keep honey bees in the surrounding fields. It’s a major destination for visitors looking to experience the sight and smell of the purple fields of the region.
