Valensole stretches across a vast Provençal plateau of hills and fields in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The village retains a rural atmosphere, with lanes lined with Provençal houses; the open landscapes invite you to take your time exploring the countryside. During the flowering season, the lavender fields create the plateau’s characteristic scenery. The guest house is set in the countryside, away from the village centre.

The village of Valensole lets you explore its lanes, squares and Saint-Blaise Church. Lavandes Angelvin offers a glimpse of the region’s emblematic crops. Château du Grand Jardin and Château d’Allemagne-en-Provence make for heritage stops on trips around the area. Further afield, the Verdon draws visitors interested in hiking, canyon scenery and water sports. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages, fields and natural sites; Marseille-Provence Airport is an option for reaching the region by air.

The flowering season, generally from late June to July depending on the year’s conditions, is particularly popular for the colourful scenery and photography walks. In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are well suited to strolls through the villages and walks or cycling trips. You can spend a day exploring the plateau’s landscapes, then visit a nearby village or discover the Verdon sites. In summer, it is best to plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon, when the heat is less intense.
