During the Ascension long weekend, from Thursday May 14 to Sunday May 17, 2026, the Lavender Museum Luberon offers an ideal programme for a visit in the Luberon.

Ascension weekend programme in the Luberon

Self-guided audio tour of the Lavender Museum (daily)

The self-guided audio tour is available throughout the day, allowing visitors to explore the museum at their own pace. Available in 11 languages, the audio guide explains the history of lavender in Provence, traditional harvesting and distillation techniques, and the cultural importance of lavender in the Luberon.

Lavender sachet workshop for children (afternoons)

Every afternoon, children take part in a creative workshop and leave with their own personalised lavender sachet. They choose the fabric and ribbon, and can enrich their sachet with aromatic plants such as mint, rosemary, thyme or basil. A perfect children’s activity in the Luberon to extend the museum visit.

A visit designed for children

The museum offers a visit specially designed for younger visitors, including a fun quiz, access to the self-guided audio tour, and the presentation of a Young Lavender Grower diploma at the end of the visit. A simple and enjoyable way to turn the museum into a true family activity in Provence.
