Puimichel

Situated east of the Durance, Puimichel is a small Provencal village peacefully surrounded by lush countryside which offers numerous delightful promenades, particularly during the mushroom harvesting season!
The village houses are clustered together in a circle. The village possesses a superb boules playing area where you can spend many happy summer evenings after the sun has set.

Three perfume distilleries can be found at Puimichel, producing essential oil from a variety of plants, including lavender and sage.
The village is steeped in the most wonderful fragrance when the plants are harvested from July until mid-August.

Food-lovers will have a wonderful time at Puimichel. Several bee-keepers make the most delicious natural honey and a "chevrier" or goatfarmer famous throughout the region (he has won several awards) makes excellent, small goats cheese... so fresh and refined... no-one can resist !
At the village restaurant, you can taste some typical Provencal cuisine: "daube", "pieds-paquets", "civets", "alouettes sans tête"...

Other specialities can be found at the multi-service "épicerie" or delicatessen along with bread, meat, vegetables and quality local products.
The village festival is held twice a year : the third week in September and the third week in August.
The agenda includes a 6-day boules tournament so visitors have plenty of time to analyse all the idiosyncrasies of the game !
