Musée de la Lavande, Lavender museum in Cabrières-d'Avignon, France
The museum showcases an extensive collection of 346 items related to lavender cultivation, including distillation equipment and perfumery tools from different periods.
The Lincelé family established this educational center in 1991, continuing their five-generation legacy of producing and distilling fine lavender since 1890.
Exhibits demonstrate the traditional methods of lavender cultivation in Provence, featuring antique stills dating from the sixteenth century to modern times.
The facility remains open daily from April through December, offering guided tours, workshops, and a shop selling organic skincare products from Château du Bois.
Visitors can observe live demonstrations of lavender distillation during summer months while interacting with local gardeners about cultivation techniques.

Between gentle mountains and stone villages, Luberon encompasses everything that Provence has to offer in its brightest form. Its roads wind through lavender fields, ochre cliffs, and blonde bastides clinging to hills. Here, each village tells a story from a different time, each alleyway preserves the shadow of a medieval past, and each landscape appears painted by hand. In Gordes or Roussillon, the houses play with the light; in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Sorgue springs from an emerald-green abyss; and in the valleys, abbeys and castles watch over the plains.
