The magic of lavender fields
Have you ever seen with your own eyes what a lavender field in bloom looks like? Just imagine: a fabulous boundless expanse of soft, deep purple colour, a thick, harsh scent in the air reminiscent of a fairytale, an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. A view that will make you forget the anxiety and stress that are all too present in everyday life.

If you wish, your private multilingual chauffeur can also accompany you to companies to taste the delicious local dishes or purchase the typical products renowned for their exclusivity.
How could you miss a tour of the places where lavender was once harvested to produce its essential oil and where you could try lavender-scented cheese?
Lavender fields in France: discover the wonders of Provence
People dream of visiting France not just for the Eiffel Tower or the architectural masterpieces, but also to see the famous lavender fields. Unfortunately, not everyone has a driving licence, years of driving experience or simply doesn't feel up to a long journey on roads they've never driven before. And then there's the added problem of whether you're ready to rent and drive a car that's not yours.
We at Vip Limousine Milan and our luxury car rental service with driver are here to solve these problems and doubts. Thanks to our chauffeurs and luxury cars, you won't have to miss out on discovering beautiful Provence, famous for its lavender. This French region lends itself well to romantic getaways and is the place where hardened romantics, dreamers, creative types and nature-loving tourists should go at least once in their lives.
During the period from mid-June to the end of August, Provence lights up in purple. This is the colour of the lavender that blooms and spreads its scent everywhere, giving the landscape of the south of France an even more incredible appearance. All the fields are transformed into a sea of colours ranging from lilac to dark purple.
As early as the 12th century, a monastery in France created the world's first extract based on lavender and rosemary, which is now considered the oldest perfumery note. At the end of the 19th century, lavender perfumes became so popular that France experienced a shortage of the plant. In addition, lavender flowers were widely used in the production of essential oils and cosmetic creams.
Lavender fields in Italy: flowering in Piedmont and Liguria
Have you always dreamed of immersing yourself in the amazing colour and heady scent of a lavender field, but don't have the chance to visit French Provence? Maybe you don't have enough days off to undertake such a trip, but at the same time you don't want to miss the lavender blossom.
What if we told you that you don't have to go that far to make this wish come true? Vip Limousine Milan suggests that you don't miss out on an excursion in one of our luxury chauffeur-driven vehicles in the Valle Stura, and more precisely in Demonte, a small town of 2,000 inhabitants in the province of Cuneo, known above all for the blossoming of the marvellous lavender of Piedmont.
In Italy we boast so many beauties and we are often the first to ignore some of them. Not everyone in fact knows that in nearby Piedmont we can admire a spectacle similar to that of Provence, but also in Liguria we find examples of lavender flowering.
In Valle Argentina for example, the valley of the taggiasca (a particular variety of olive also known as "cailletier"), the witches and the Maritime Alps, lavender grows spontaneously and it is no coincidence that there are many flower-growing and lavender distillation companies here. In July, the flowering and harvesting festival for this aromatic plant is held at Colle di Nava.
Car rental with driver Milan: discovering the lavender fields
Be enchanted by the scent of lavender from late June to July. The start of lavender flowering depends on the weather and the variety of the plant, but at Vip Limousine Milan we usually recommend planning a trip to the purple sea in mid-July. By that time, most of the buds have opened, releasing their scent and starting the harvest.
Whether you want to discover the lavender fields of Italy or those of Provence, our luxury cars are ready to take you anywhere you want to go, with one of our multilingual, well-trained drivers at the wheel.
You can also choose which luxury car suits your needs or tastes: we have a well-stocked fleet and all our cars are changed regularly to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
If you would like to book a restaurant, hotel or additional stop-off point during your trip, simply let us know and we will take care of everything for you with our travel assistance service. You do not have to worry about anything, just enjoy your trip.
