Description

Organic essential oils and local products for sale in the boutique.
Distillerie Bleu Provence is a family-run business, bought by Christine and Philippe Soguel in 1994. Wishing to keep alive this industrial heritage of Nyons and bring it up to date, the company is committed to innovation, so that the tradition of growing and distilling lavender and aromatic plants in Drôme Provençale lives on.
The company has four main activities:
distillation of plants grown by local producers
marketing essential oils to professionals (laboratories, perfumers)
sales of essential oils and cosmetics to the general public
tourism, with conferences and workshops.
After a major renovation in 2000, the Distillery is writing a new page in its history in 2011. The production equipment has been modernized (new distillation process) and made compatible with the latest generation of harvesting machines, the ESPIEUR.
A discovery area on lavender and aromatic plants has been created, as well as a relaxation area called the Pause Bleu Thé. The boutique, meanwhile, has been renovated and enlarged. As a result, the Distillerie Bleu Provence can now welcome all lovers of the plants and fragrances of Provence in optimal conditions.
