World of Herbs - Provence, France

Native scented flowers and aromatic herbs make Provence a global brand. The opulent wealth of plants between the French Alps and the Mediterranean puts all other French regions in the shade. Near Sault, close to Mont Ventoux, the valleys and plateaus glow purple: in the heat of southern France, lavender blossoms and is fragrant. Its healing fragrance oil was already used by monastic medicine in the Middle Ages. Today, an entire industry is based on the business with the aromatic blossom.
