Bleu Lavande is the largest lavender farm in Canada and a sensual treat for visitors.

On Applegrove Hill in the village of Fitch Bay, just south of Magog and 90 minutes from Montreal, the splendid sight of the 200,000 lavender plants in full bloom at Bleu Lavande is breathtaking.

Bleu Lavande is more than a simple lavender farm in Quebec’s Eastern Township. It’s an experience for the senses.

Stroll through fields of flowers. Enjoy a picnic on one of the bright lavender-colored tables scattered throughout the fields. Learn about the history of the farm and the process of collecting the lavender on a guided tour. Explore the elegant boutique filled with products based on Quebec lavender, including that from Bleu Lavande.
