Wine, Truffles, Trips, and Books

While winemakers are working their magic in the cellars of Provence, truffle hunters are busy with the start of their season. The locations of these black "diamonds" are a closely guarded secret, but if you can find a supplier, you are in luck.

Black Friday is indeed a commercial event in France, but we prefer to support the creators of artisanal products. Our online shop showcases high-quality items that make great gifts. The links in Our Provencal Marketplace take you directly to partner websites, and your purchase supports small businesses. Among Provence's artisan treasures are the ceramics and pottery makers, so we have created a guide by department within the region.

To this day, Nice is one of my favourite cities on the French Riviera. In this article, I suggest ten must-see places to visit while you are there.
