Enjoy walking into this beautiful lavender field measuring over 700 meters long.

"The idea of The Lavender House was born from a trip to Provence, in southern France in 2006. Driving on rural roads in the region of the Gorges du Verdon, enjoying miles of lavender fields, Nancie and Daniel wondered why nobody had ever thought to grow lavender in Quebec. The extreme cold could be a reason preventing the plants to survive, but then Daniel said Nancie , why not treat lavender - a perennial shrub - the same way we treat strawberries in Quebec, covering them with straw help them through the winter. Upon their return , Nancie and Daniel have undertaken research to find only a few locations in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia , producers were successfully grow lavender which resisted the harsh winters here."

"L’idée de La Maison Lavande est née d’un voyage en Provence, dans le sud de la France en 2006. Roulant sur les routes de campagne de la région des Gorges du Verdon, admirant des kilomètres de champs de lavande, Nancie et Daniel se sont demandé pourquoi personne n’avait jamais pensé faire pousser de la lavande au Québec. Les froids rigoureux pouvaient être une raison empêchant les plants de survivre, mais alors Daniel dit à Nancie, pourquoi ne pas traiter la lavande – un arbuste vivace - de la même manière qu’on traite les fraisiers au Québec, en les couvrant de paille pour les aider à passer l’hiver. Dès leur retour, Nancie et Daniel ont entrepris des recherches pour constater qu’à quelques endroits au Québec, en Ontario et en Colombie-Britannique, des producteurs faisaient pousser avec succès de la lavande qui résistait aux hivers rigoureux d’ici."
