Sault

After Les Mées I traveled north west about 68km to Sault. Sault is located in an area called the Provence of Lavenders due to the vast amount of lavender fields. Before you even reached Sault you could smell the lavender it was very intoxicating and calming.

When I arrived in village I visisted a local weekley farmers market that has been around since 1515  to check out all the lavender that they had.  I wanted a bundle to take back to my room for later. At the market the amount of lavender products was amazing. There was bundles of fresh lavender, tea, loation, candles, bath products, I wanted to load up on all of it and create my own lavander spa in my room.

                                                        


After the farmers market I strolled down the streets to check out the village the buildings were made of stone and had beautiful brightly colored shutters on the windows. The village has an open and relaxed space, there are a few cafés in the square, and there is a beautiful restored church in the central square.
