Garrigue honey is a very special beekeeper honey made from the typical plants of Provence. The garrigue (also called maquis) is the typical landscape of dwarf trees and bushes that stretches across the entire Provence. Wild lavender, thyme, rosemary and savory (sarriette) grow here, as do many other Mediterranean plants such as wild rocket and cornflowers.
Our Garrigue honey comes directly from the beekeeper in the South of France. The variety of aromatic plants visited by the bees in the Garrigue (macchia) gives this beekeeper honey from the flowers of the Garrigue a very aromatic floral taste.
Beekeepers Christelle and her husband Jean-Luc Faure live with their bees in Graveson, in front of the Alpille Mountains south of Avignon. For this garrigue honey, their bees collect the pollen in the garrigue (macchia) in Montagnette de Graveson, south of Avignon at the foot of the Alpille Mountains.

Christelle and her husband Jean-Luc Faure live with their bees in Graveson, in front of the Alpille Mountains south of Avignon.
They raise their own bees to produce their honey. These collect nectar from different places in Provence. Lavender from the Plateau d'Albion, rosemary and thyme from the garrigue and even from the Camargue.
With 500 beehives, your beekeeping business is one of the region's smallest producers. Each beehive produces around 10kg of honey, depending on the climate and abundance of flowers.
Due to this small quantity, their products are only offered at weekly markets in the region.
Depending on the type of honey, Jean Luc takes his bees to different locations
in Provence.
His bees collect nectar for lavender honey on the Plateau d'Albion, for rosemary honey around Baux-de-Provence and at the foot of the Alpille Mountains for garrigue honey.
In Provence there are many beekeepers who help local farmers.
The bees of the beekeepers play a very important role in the region, which is very much dominated by agriculture. Many farmers work together with beekeepers to ensure the pollination of their fruit trees, vegetable plantations and olive groves.
This makes it all the more important that bees are used primarily where organic farming takes place.
