There’s more than one way to keep lavender year-round. It’s more lasting than sachets and bouquets.

 

 

 

Yes, there’s lavender salt!

A tiny village outside Uzès offers a selection of local specialties, including lavender salt and olive oil milled on-site. The store and the mill are located inside a garage attached to the proprietor’s home.

The most surprising discovery was the building attached to the opposite side of her house — the remains of an 11th-century church.

 

 

This is part of the joy of living in this part of the world. A small, out-of-the-way spot can be a fantastic discovery. Ancient buildings still stand alongside some of the most unique local items for sale.
