Think you know everything there is to know about lavender? Think again! Following last year’s huge success, L’Abeille Savonneuse, the La Colle-sur-Loup town hall, and the tourist office are bringing the event back on Sunday, August 2, 2026 (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the village center).
This year, we’re exploring lavender in all its forms:
🍯 As honey: Watch a live extraction of lavender honey (2026 harvest), taste this golden treasure, and learn about the fascinating, essential work of our precious bees! 🐝🧡
🧼 As fragrance & cosmetics: Observe traditional distillation to understand how essential oils and floral waters are created. You can also discover how to make your own room fragrances and other scents!
👩‍🍳 In the kitchen: Watch exclusive demonstrations by two chefs who will showcase lavender in their cooking, while local restaurants whip up special lavender-themed menus!
📷 In images: Don’t miss our photo exhibition highlighting the beauty of our landscapes and this iconic flower.
🎨 Artistic creation & décor: Let your imagination run wild in our creative and sensory workshops designed for the whole family.
🛠 Meet our REAL artisans! 🤝
🎈 No resellers here: our market brings together genuine, passionate artisans. They’ll be delighted to share the secrets of their craft, their unique expertise, and how they incorporate lavender into their creations (décor, cosmetics, gourmet treats, and more). You’ll love chatting with them! ☀
Plus: Entertainment, games, and surprises for young and old throughout the day.
Whether you’re a die-hard enthusiast, a lover of fine local products, or simply looking for a lovely, fragrant Sunday outing with the family, this event is for you. Spread the word, mark your calendars, and come experience the vibrant spirit of Provence with us! 🐝💜
