Provence Photo Shoots by Season
The olive trees (my favourite!) and hilltop towns are beautiful year-round in Provence. However, there’s a few seasonal flowers/crops that you may want to have as a backdrop for your photoshoot. All of these may depend on the weather but this is a general guide to some of the flowers of Provence.
Almond Blossom – February
Orchards of almond blossom are absolutely stunning. The apricot blossom, a more pink rather then purple blossom, happens right afterwards.
Cherry Blossom – March (also peach blossom)
Orchards of cherry trees with white blossoms are a beautiful backdrop during early spring.
Wisteria – April
Wisteria is stunning and smells it too. It can be tricky as a backdrop as it tends to climb high but there are a few vines that would be lovely backdrops that I have in mind.
Poppies – May
Fields of red poppies are stunning. These wildflowers can be found all over Provence in May.
Lavender – late June, July
You best bet for lavender is to be here anytime from the last week of June to the second week in July. See my article about the lavender season and where to find lavender in Provence. My lavender photo shoots are in the Luberon around Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux. I don’t go to the Valensole region as it’s quite far from me and busy.
Sunflowers – July
Sunflowers are a crop that change fields each year. However, you’ll often find them around Arles in early July.
Olive Groves & Hilltop Towns – All year round
Grapevines – June-October
Grapevines/vineyards are fun for photoshoots all summer long and can be gorgeous in the Autumn with their yellow and red leaves.
