In the afternoon, go to the coveted Gede City in Meyer's "Mountain Years". This city is also known as Stone City. Known as the "Hanging Village", it is also called the "City in the Sky" because of the image hanging in the sky. The rocky mountain city was built in the Middle Ages and was made of stacked limestone dry slabs. After the tour, we headed to Senanque Abbey and passed by the "Lavender Museum" for a short visit. Senanque Abbey is the founding place of the Cistercian monasticism. It is the background of the book "The Years in the Mountains" and is a landmark attraction in Provence.
(Special note: Lavender is a seasonal natural ecology, usually from July to early August. Due to the influence of climate, growth and harvest period, we cannot guarantee that we will encounter fresh grass!)
