Maison de la Lavande - Domaine Lavandais

About

The Maison de la Lavande – Domaine Lavandaïs welcomes visitors between April 3 and September 30 each year, opening daily from 10:00 to 19:00. Set amidst the dramatic gorges of the Ardèche in the village of Saint‑Remèze, the site combines a rich lavender heritage with a range of activities for all ages. While the lavender fields, the boutique and the tranquil walking paths are free to explore, the guided museum tour – lasting about 1 hour 15 minutes – offers a seasoned narrative of lavender cultivation, essential‑oil distillation, and the region’s agricultural history. Ticket prices are €13 for adults, €8.50 for young visitors aged 8‑14, free for children under 8, and €8.50 for groups of twenty or more paying adults. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchairs and strollers, and a dedicated bike‑parking area with electricity charging points supports cyclists. Beyond the gardens, guests can enjoy a short trip on the “Petit Train des Lavandes”, a scenic ride through lavender fields, and indulge in lavender‑infused refreshments at the on‑site bar‑snack terraces. Family‑friendly exhibit displays, an interactive workshop space, and a dramatic play, “Il était une fois la Lavande”, enrich the overall experience. The layout encourages visitors to wander freely, with plenty of shaded seating for picnics and a multi‑level tasting station in the 360° gallery. Whether you’re a lover of natural scents, a history enthusiast, or just wish to relax amid fragrant landscapes, the Maison de la Lavande delivers a memorable, aromatic journey. Tickets can be purchased on‑site or online through the museum’s booking portal, ensuring visitors secure spots in the popular guided tours. The site’s open‑air layout and multiple visitor amenities make it an attractive destination for families, school groups, and anyone seeking a quiet, sensory escape.
