Unlike the dark, short days of November, February always feels hopeful for me. There are signs of nature's renewal cycle with delicate almond blossoms and showy golden mimosa in Provence.
As we continue to manage life with Covid-19, many typical February events in the South of France are either cancelled or postponed. However, the weather is generally suitable for long walks and excursions. Take a drive along the French Riviera to see "la Route du Mimosa", a 130 km of golden flowers from Bormes-les-mimosa to Grasse, France's perfume capital. Discover the hilltop castles of the Alpilles.
Treat your Valentine to a festive cocktail or don your apron and create one of these Valentine's Day menus. Join an online cooking class and improve your culinary skills. There are plenty of artisanal chocolate makers throughout the region, from Avignon to Isle sur la Sorgue to Nice. Do you have a favourite chocolatier?
