Summer Lavender at Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque

: Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque, is an active 12th-century Cistercian abbey near the village of Gordes in the département of the Vaucluse in Provence, France. It’s most famous for its stunning summer lavender fields, but you can also get guided tours of the church itself and the cloisters.
