Lavendar Fields near Nice

Hello,





I will be visiting nice in 2 weeks time! Will there be lavendar fields in bloom within a reasonable drive (day trip) from Nice at that time? If so, which route to you recommend and please advise on things to do/see along the way. Thanks so much.





P.S. any tips on red poppy fields or sunflower fields would be great as well!

You will find lavender fields (not sure if still in bloom) near Gordes, some 50km east of Avignon (3 hrs drive from Nice). If you can sleep over in that area, you could visit part of the Luberon area.

Just returned from Provence. You can see lavendar fields in Roussillon at the Abbey de Senaque and there is an interesting lavendar museum/shop in Coustellet. This is several hours West of Nice though, just East of Avignon. Have fun!

Thanks...this seems like it may be too far a drive for our limited time in Nice (6 nights, two of which will be at a wonderful wedding). Thanks so much for your help!
