Due to its reaction to touch, mimosa is also known as a shameful antennae, it is a plant with tiny pink flowers. In Poland, it is often confused with goldenrod, which paints the fields yellow in late summer. Mimosa carpets grow in various countries, including France. She is held in high esteem in one department.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is a region in the south of France. It borders with Italy and its shores are washed by the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most visited tourist areas in the world. Who doesn't know the Cote d'Azur or the French Riviera? The main season lasts here from May to the end of September, but holidaymakers come here in large numbers to relax all year round.

Culinary holiday on the Mediterranean Sea

The Côte d'Azur (Côte d'Azur) is so popular for many reasons. The main ones are the landscapes and the weather, the beaches and the water with the color from which the region takes its name are also important decoys. Tourists who want to spend their holidays on the Mediterranean Sea often have big problems with the decision - to go to Italy or France. Lavender fields, green hills, heavenly beaches and, of course, delicious cuisine await those who choose the second country. What can we find on the menu? Some people praise seafood dishes (e.g. mussels in blue cheese sauce), others melt over desserts (e.g. strawberry ice cream with chocolate and pieces of fruit). It is known for a long time that French cuisine has stolen many hearts. Or rather, more than one stomach.

Where the mimosas smell

In the Var department there is a village called Bormes-les-Mimosas . Although it has gone through a lot in the past, including the plundering of Saracens, Spaniards and pirates, arson, war devastation (including religious wars in the 16th century), it has retained its medieval character. What's more, to this day it stands out with its beauty and delights tourists with the richness of flowers. She has received several awards for the beauty of her floral robes - including four flowers in the national competition Villes et Villages Fleuris, and in 2003 she also won a gold medal in a similar pan-European competition. Every year, the town organizes a flower parade, which can make hearts palpitations from the delight not only of botany enthusiasts. It is a real festival of plants, a feast of colors and scents, enchanting with views and atmosphere. If someone loves flowers with a sincere and passionate love, he should definitely come here. Even if he were to go on a trip to France just for that, it's worth it. When? It is best between January and mid-March, because then the Mimosa Trail , a 130-kilometer route with a starting point in Bormes-les-Mimosas, covers in flowers. The route runs along the Côte d'Azur all the way to Grasse.

Chestnut basin of France - Ardèche
Ardèche is a French department famous for the oldest vineyard in the country and works of cave art. It is situated in the south-eastern part of the country. Chauvet's Grotto, discovered at the end of the last century, is not open to tourists - the wall drawings can only be admired by scientists - but this does not change the fact that the region is a tasty treat for thrill-seekers. The term "tasty morsel" in the case of Ardèche is absolutely appropriate. The department, located in the Rhône-Alpes region, is famous not only for the attractions you can see, but also for its delicious cuisine and excellent wine. Nowadays, the products of local wineries are known as part of the second wine region of France after Bordeaux - Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards that enter it stretch on both banks of the Rhône in a 250 km long strip. Ardèche, as one of the six departments of the region, is the heart of the area. What can we taste after arriving in this wine paradise? It is definitely worth getting acquainted with chateauneuf du pape with its root and spice dominance, as well as saint-joseph with the tart taste of forest fruits (red), fragrant with iris and rose (white). Red cornas is also worth attention, rich but wild, definitely not for everyone, and certainly not for lovers of delicate flavors. They should reach for the light, sparkling white Saint-Péray. Ardèche cuisine is aromatic, colorful and rich. It tastes of chestnuts - the region's dishes include a strongly herbal caillete with chestnut purée, pork stewed with chestnuts, duck breasts with chestnut porridge and figs, and also candied chestnuts. While traveling through the villages of the Côtes du Vivarais (southern part of the Rhône), it is worth trying aromatic scrambled eggs with truffles.
