When it comes to lush fields of lavender, we often think of the vast purple pastures of southern France. The region of Provence is specifically where lavender fields call home and where the herb was introduced to France around 600 BC through trading.
The region provided the perfect climate for the herbal plant to thrive and become a recognizable visual of French culture.
But Provence isn’t the only region with these eye-catching fields. This herb is also found in Québec, serving as its own French symbol for the province. Although its history of lavender doesn’t stem as far back as its reign in Provence, it’s become a world of its own in Québec.
