Valensole, Provence, France

Valensole takes its name from the Latin words ‘Vallis’ and ‘Solis’, which mean valley of the sun. It’s easy to see why as you gaze at the gorgeous stone houses bathed in the golden rays.
Amid rows of vibrant purple lavender and golden sunflowers, Valensole is perched on the top of a hill.
At the town center is Place Thiers, a beautiful little square. Nearby, there’s a charming stone fountain next to a boulangerie.
Follow the road uphill from the square, is the main boulevard Frederic Mistral. This street is one of the most beautiful in the village, home to boutiques selling lavender-infused products like soaps, oils, and candles and lavender ice cream!
Along the way, there is the traditional washhouse and the pretty town hall. At the top of the hill lies the Church of Saint-Blaise. This stone church has a quintessential tiled roof and a beautiful interior full of ornate woodwork and painted murals.
