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.
