A bonne et heureuse année to you all. This newsletter comes out after the Epiphany (January 6), but there is still time if you missed eating a galette des rois or galette Provencal. Many bakeries in France make these tempting pastries all month. Is there a difference between the galette des rois and the Provencal version? Yes, you can read about it here.
Starting the year by eating pastry might spoil your bonnes intentions. But then again, since resolutions are just guidelines, you may want to try François de Melogue's winter menu (below). Invite friends for the delicious 3-course menu, which includes traditional Provencal dishes.
January in Provence is beautiful, with crisp air temperatures and landscapes bathed in soft winter light. This time of year offers a peaceful escape with cozy village cafes and vibrant markets with seasonal treasures such as black truffles. Keep an eye on the website for the upcoming article on winter travel essentials for visitors by French immersion teacher Virginie.
For a virtual escape take advantage of 40% off the France Channel streaming service subscription when you use PERFECTLY40 at checkout.
La Messe de Truffes in Richerenches, a unique event on Sunday, January 19, with an auction and gourmet meal, is a must-experience for truffle enthusiasts. Read about the Provencal 'truffle capital' here.
