Provence is famous for the lavender fields, and mid-July is the perfect period to see them in full blossom. It really is a wondeful view.  The colors you see in the photo are real, I did not saturate them!



Senanque Abbey was the first place where I saw some real lavender field during my Provence trip. Wow.

It is really famous and the image of the abbey with the lavender fields in front of it is one of the most seen Provence photos ever. This image is a bit different, I took it from the road that leads to the abbey, from a distance (with the zoom lens).

Not much PP, only some contrast and saturation added.
In the workshop I tried to change the color of the abbey to make it blend more with the photo, but I prefer this one where it stands a bit out.
