Lavender Harvesting and Distillation Workshop in Bellegarde
Description
This workshop allows you to discover the entire process of extracting floral waters and essential oils. But above all it allows you to participate concretely, because it is you who will pick and distill your lavender! An activity that starts at the plant and ends in the bottle, which you will fill with floral water and essential oil freshly extracted by you. You will leave with your creation and the pleasure of saying “product made with my hands”. An activity that highlights local know-how, nature, organic farming and the delicious scent of pretty lavender!

We had an amazing time: Friendly, warm, participatory, and informative! Gaël and Sara share their passion with us in a cheerful and generous manner. Don't change anything, it's perfect!
A very beautiful experience, a passionate artisan who knows how to convey and share his knowledge. Wonderful activity.
Friendly workshop; the person in charge added his personal and friendly touch to the family estate. You can tell he is a passionate person who wants to share a bit of his local heritage. After the harvest, we enjoyed a snack with local products (a plus for people from other regions). I recommend it with my eyes closed.
I recommend this workshop 100% to anyone who wants to experience an authentic, enriching, and sensory activity. Gael was able to share his know-how with passion and sincerity. A big thank you to this beautiful team 💜
Very interesting tour. On the fields, the plants were shown and explained (and smelled!) All the people here were very nice and could answer all the questions.
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Rückmeldung!
Very interesting tour of all things lavender. Very friendly staff and willing to help educate you on lavender from start to finish. Interesting facts that there are three types of lavender that lend to different strengths in perfume.
Thank you for your comment ! We are very happy that you liked it and that you know well the differences between lavender varieties. Next step is to come back and create your own perfume !
Thank you to Gaël for sharing his job with us with passion and thank you to my son for this gift, it was great!
Un grand merci Claudie pour ce retour :-) Merci à votre fils d'avoir eu la bonne idée de vous offrir ce cadeau.
I am from the area and yet I did not know this place so close to home. Super interesting and educational visit with a touch of humor with our dear guide who is no more or less than the boss who developed his family's Enterprise. So he talks about it with love and passion.
Merci infiniment d'avoir partagé cette matinée avec moi. C'est avec plaisir et passion que je partage ma passion avec vous.
Warm, friendly and sharing. I've rediscovered Provence differently. I learned and was able to create my own odorants
Merci à vous d'être venu passer cette matinée avec nous à cueillir et distiller de la lavande.
Super nice workshop with Gael who transmits his passion. The welcome was really good from all the staff. I highly recommend!
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Nous avons été très heureux de vous avoir sur cette matinée et j'espère vous revoir bientôt !
