Valensole is a French commune located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
Valensole, a small but characteristic village in itself, owes its international fame to the surrounding environment.
In fact, located near the Durance river, which forms the western border of the municipal territory, in a well-known plateau called Plateau di Valensole not far from the famous Verdon Gorges.
The plateau is quite fertile and favors various crops, in particular sunflowers and especially lavender: the numerous Lavender fields make the landscape unique in the periods preceding the harvest of the plant, generally June and July, transforming the areas around the Provencal villages into purple expanses particularly popular with photographers and tourists.
