    This museum is just a short drive from Avignon and worth a visit if you love lavender. Don't go expecting to see fields of lavender as they are a further 1-2 hours away and only in bloom in July and August. You are given a good informative background on the growing and harvesting of lavender and the distilling of lavender oil and its many medicinal uses both by the staff and on an introductory film and by audio guide. You will come away feeling an expert on lavender and lavendine and you'll be spoiled for using any inferior product ever again! There is a wonderful shop at the end of the visit that stocks their products and they are worth trying. Even teenagers can enjoy the visit - so must be interesting!
