While summer is typically the high season in the South of France, Fall is captivating. Slightly cooler weather adds a refreshing twist to your travel experience. One day, you are in shirtsleeves; the next, you need a puffy jacket as autumn arrives with little warning. In the Provencal countryside, fog often shrouds the mornings, slowly burning off as the sun rises. By the middle of October, the grape harvest is over, but farmers are still working; olives, squash, carrots, beets, turnips, and even saffron await their harvest.
Speaking of food, Rosa Jackson, an accomplished chef, cooking school owner, tour operator, and author, published Niçoise: Market-Inspired Cooking from France's Sunniest City last spring. This book is a must-have for any
aspiring cook who loves seasonal recipes.
When you visit the French Riviera, book a hands-on workshop with French pastry chef Nicolas Dolbeau and his wife Sophie in Antibes. These intimate classes are not just about learning but also about experiencing the joy of creating delicious classics—macarons, entremets (layered cake with mousse), croissants, and more.
