Abbaye de Senanque

From the glorious view of the village we head to the Abbaye de Senanque, an ancient abbey that is fronted by a huge field of lavender. Unfortunately, the lavender was not yet in bloom, so that was a bit disappointing. The site was beautiful nevertheless. The sun was getting low and the monastery itself was already closed. Erin and I walked the grounds and let Scott sit and indulge his favorite pastime – reading the Red Michelin guide and looking for restaurants we can eat at. We had reservations to eat at our hotel but by that point it was getting late and we were too far away to make it back in time.
