The flat southern part of the Plateau de Valensole is the most important lavender growing area in Provence. It is bordered by the Durance, Verdon and Asse rivers. In June and July, the area between Puimoisson and St-Jurs is a sea of purple. Valensole, the center of the plateau, is famous for its lavender honey.

Situated on the edge of the beautiful Verdon Gorges, the village is known for its crystal clear lake, Lac d’Esparron, which is perfect for a refreshing swim or a relaxed picnic after your ride. When you arrive in Esparron-de-Verdon, you’ll be greeted by a picturesque medieval village with narrow streets and traditional Provençal architecture, adding a cultural touch to your cycling adventure.

Nice little castle, looked rather private. Other than that, not much going on in the town. Unfortunately, the bar was closed on Mondays.
