Early summer is peak lavender blooming season in many places. While France, and Provence in particular, is the most popular “lavender destination” in Europe, Italophiles with a passion for lavender should know that there are several locations in Italy where you can admire the magnificent blooms. Lavender usually blooms in mid-June and will produce flowers for around 4 weeks, with color variations that go from blue to lilac to violet. 

You can go on walks amid lavender fields, taking in the scents and sights, and perhaps try some lavender-based experiences. Here are some beautiful lavender fields around Italy.
