Musee De La Lavande
About
Nestled in the heart of the Luberon’s famed lavender fields, the Musée de la Lavande in Coustellet invites visitors to experience the fragrant heritage of Provence. Built within a traditional mas of stone‑sourced walls, the museum showcases the full spectrum of Provence’s lavender life – from ancient botanical studies and distillation techniques to a stunning collection of copper alambics and classic perfume bottles. Guided or audioguided tours, evolving with the seasons, lead guests through interactive displays, workshops and a 64‑seat projection room dedicated to the art of lavender harvesting and distillation. With free admission for children under eleven and family‑friendly programs, the museum is both an educational treasure and a fragrant escape, offering the chance to witness lavender in bloom, learn about its cultural and medicinal uses, and even create personalized sachets or paint lavender‑inspired masterpieces.
