Provence food, lifestyle, and Mediterranean living magazine.

Provence begins to bloom in February, with delicate almond blossoms appearing early in the month and bright yellow mimosa trees taking center stage along the Côte d'Azur. But it's not just about the flowers. The lively festivities of Carnaval de Nice and the Fête de Citron in Menton, which start on February 11 and 14, respectively, are unique experiences you shouldn’t miss. If you plan to visit the coast during this time of year, advanced planning is essential.

Valentine's Day is next week! If you're looking for restaurant recommendations, Keith suggests Aux Envies in St-Rémy, while Martine shares some of her favourite dining spots in the Alpilles. Additionally, these Provencal linens make a lovely, budget-friendly gift. For some inspiration, download our Winter Menu Collection featuring ideas for a Valentine's menu.
