Grottos of Provence the Caves of Villecroze
Millions of years of seismic activity, tectonic plate movement and freeze-thaw cycles created the diverse geology of present-day Provence. The region is also known as the Bouches de Rhône where the Mediterranean shoreline runs the gambit of beaches, brackish wetlands and vertigo-inducing cliffs.

Panade aux Pommes Not Your Classic Apple Pie
Ginger and Nutmeg hosted a July 4th dinner party while in Provence, in honour of their US friends. The menu included traditional and non-standard elements.

Cuers and Cuisine
Cuers is a pretty little town in the Var just a stone’s throw from Toulon (where IKEA seems to be the main draw!) so not everyone’s first choice for a weekend away. However, there’s plenty to see and do away from Provence’s more touristy towns – and more rosé wine …

Château de Crémat, Chanel and Bellet’s Link to an Iconic Logo
You may be asking yourself what the Nice vineyards of Bellet and Chanel, the legendary perfume house, could possibly have in common? More, it would seem, than we think! After all, there is a certain parallel between the art of blending a fine perfume and the art of blending a …
