France The Sunflower Fields of Saignon

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

If you are looking to photograph sunflowers in southern France this, I think, may be the best spot. It is certainly the best I found. It shows well at sunrise when the plants are front lit, gives a nice intervening field of purple lavender and then the beautiful village of Saignon on the hillside.

Photography Tips

Come in the early morning to set up and wait for the sun to light up the flowers. The sunflowers usually peak in the second week of July and continue to mature from then on. Plan your trip accordingly.
