Rigorous selection of raw materials and traditional know-how are at the basis of the quality of Groupe Argeville's products. This activity is distributed over two production sites, one in the Drôme, the other in Mougins.


Founded in 1996, the Laboratoire Européen d'Extraction is situated in the heart of the Provençal part of the Drôme, a region that has long been famous for the production of hybrid lavender and aromatic plants. This laboratory, an Argeville subsidiary, specialises in the selection, extraction and distillation of aromatic plants and products.

It combines mastery of traditional techniques with modern facilities. The centre is equipped, among other elements, with volatile solvent extractors of 4 x 4000 litres and 4 x 1000 litres, traditional batch distillation equipment and a continuous distillation unit.
