This Sunday, May 31, 2026, celebrate Mother’s Day at the Lavender Museum Luberon!
For this special day dedicated to mums, free admission is offered to all mums. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a family visit in the Luberon and discover Provence’s iconic flower: the fine lavender.
Mother’s Day 2026: a family visit to the Lavender Museum Luberon on Sunday, May 31
- A rich and accessible visit answering the big questions about lavender: which lavender grows in Provence, which varieties are found in gardens, where to admire lavender fields, and the differences in scent and uses between fine lavender and lavandin.
- An in-depth discovery of the history of lavender in Provence, its close link with distillation, essential oil extraction methods, and harvesting techniques — from past to present.
- A visual immersion with a film screening that reveals the traditional distillation of mountain fine lavender, carried out on the family estate of Château du Bois at 1,100 metres altitude on the Albion Plateau.
- A self-paced audio-guided tour to explore the exhibition room freely and a unique collection of more than 350 authentic objects linked to distillation and lavender growing: historic stills, the Garnier wheel, retorts and traditional outfits. The audio guide is available in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Czech, Dutch and Russian.
- A visit designed with children in mind: fun quizzes, a “lavender grower” diploma, a drawing area and digital game tables — for a true family discovery in the Luberon.
- A sensory experience in the museum shop around essential oils, hydrolats and fragrances made with AOP fine lavender, rooted in local artisan know-how passed down since 1890 — with a 20% discount for museum visitors.
An original idea for a day out in Provence to celebrate Mother’s Day in a landmark of Provençal heritage.
