Le Chemin des Rêves, located in the heart of the Luberon, is surrounded by towering pines and three varieties of oak trees--Green Oak, White Oak and Kermes Oak. As you walk around the one hectare of land your senses will be awakened by the aromas of wild thyme, rosemary and lavender. You will find 50+ olive trees and more than 300 lavender plants which will be in full bloom during July. Adjacent to the lavender field stands a Borie that has been carefully restored by local artisans. At the rear of the house you will find a stone picnic table for lazy Provencal lunches in the shade.
