An enjoyable afternoon at this lovely farm. We sat in the shade in the fields and had a picnic lunch after the brief but informative educational session. The gift shop is well curated and we made multiple purchases. We felt like we were on a movie set, the scene is stunning. I do not understand the polarizing and negative reviews. I would gladly pay $7 to enter this private property. A long tour doesn't necessarily equate to better. They allow you to bring your own food and drinks. Attention is paid to creating multiple seating areas with different vantage points. Ignore the negativity, give it a try, and have an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Lovely place, the right size, not to big, not to crowded, friendly and easy to access. Free parking.

I had an enchanting experience at Maison de Lavande - Terre Ugo at the end of July 2024. The customer experience was exceptional, and the team made my visit truly enjoyable. Louie gave a great overview on the history of the farm from past to present. The farm is a serene and charming place, perfect for a relaxing getaway, event or photoshoot. An added convenience is the bus service from Centre Ville to the farm, which takes about 15 minutes (one way) and costs less than 3 euros round trip. Highly recommend visiting for a delightful day out!
