Travelling round the lavender fields of Provence

Having just got back from Provence, France, Westcountry PR travel photographer was lucky enough to catch the last of the lavender fields in full bloom before the harvest. Driving through fields with bright purple blue hues and with the sweet lavender aromas smelling in the air - this was an experience to be remembered. Stumbling on small festivals selling lavender soaps, cushions, lavender bunches, different strength oils, and a favourite in the 35 degree heat, purple lavender ice cream. Photos Guy Harrop

The Palais Des Papes in Avignon which became the residence of the Popes in 1309, when the Papal Curia temporarily abandoned war torn Italy and moved to Avignon, a period known as the Avignon Papacy. Today it is one of the most visited historical sites in Provence, France. Photo by Westcountry PR photographer Guy Harrop, who has just returned from a working trip to the region.
