Pity we were too early to see the lavender in bloom
It was founded in 1148 under the patronage of Alfant, bishop of Cavaillon, and Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Barcelona, Count of Provence, by Cistercian monks who came from Mazan Abbey in the Ardèche. This 12th century Abbey of Senanque is where Cistercian monks live producing honey, lavender essence and liqueurs.
