Arriving in Sault

Village and fields

Drop-off in the village or beside the lavender fields, which bloom from late June to early August.

Mont Ventoux

Sault is a classic start for climbing the Ventoux by bike: bikes accepted in the Van on request.

Sault and the lavender plateau

The lavender fields of Sault are among the most photographed in Provence. In high season many visitors stay on the plateau: a private driver brings them from the airport without a rental car.

For a lavender day trip from Marseille, book a driver at your disposal instead.

Nougat and the Albion plateau

Sault is also known for its nougat, made by a family firm in the village for over a century, and for its einkorn wheat. The viewpoint at the end of the village overlooks the Nesque valley and the lavender fields, and the Nesque gorges to the south are crossed by a spectacular cliff road. In winter, Sault is a starting point for the slopes of Mont Ventoux at Chalet-Reynard, for sledging and cross-country skiing when there is snow.
