The Val-de-Sault
|
|
|
At
the outlet of the Gorges de la Nesque (C.D 942) or Col de la Gabelle
(C.D.1), discover SAULT. It is characterized by its lines
of trees, brooks and numerous beehives waiting to be filled with
honey. In summer, the blue lavender colour is so intense that it
will almost blind you. The
colours are incredibly intense, the sky a fabulous blue against
the golden wheat fields and stunning colour of the lavender plants.
The mix, amongst the poignant smells in Provence, will leave
you feeling positively light-headed. The
perfume from the lavender, the fragrance of corn and wheat gorged
with sun, the dry and cracked ground, an amazing combination of
perfumes will take your breath away... a rare scent that cannot
be found elsewhere. The
heat, from the baking sun, brings out the colours and perfumes of
each and every plant, flower... Only
the truffle, hidden in the ground, egotistically keeps its delicious
perfumes to itself. From
AUREL to MONIEUX and at the foot of SAULT, the plain irresistibly
evokes a heavenly garden, carefully maintained and bordered with
forests which flower... Posed
on a rocky outcrop, SAULT is a village accustomed to hard and snowy
winters.
