Provence - when to see poppies and lavender
Hello: My husband and I are planning a trip to Provence this summer as our first time. We would like to be there for about 12 nights. Is there a period when we can see both poppies and lavender? Thanks for your help.

I don't know anything about poppies.
Lavender fields are very beautiful. We go to Provence to see them every year. The period is between June and August depending on the area.

Around the Alpilles area (St. Remy, Les Baux, etc.) you can see fields of poppies beginning around mid to late April. Lavender - although not great fields of it, blooms mid to late June and through July
My favorite place to take guests to see the lavender is the Abbaye de Senanque near Gordes.

Cosette: If you're in Provence in late June/early July on a Sunday, try to get to the market in Isle Sur La Sorgue. You will find many lavender related products and a general carnival atmosphere that's great fun.
