Baux (blancs) de Provence
Representing just 7% of the total volume from just 243 hectares of vines in the Les Baux-de-Provence appellation, white baux are a true rarity. In this magnificent, unspoilt environment, only 11 estates share the vineyards all around the Alpilles. By 2023, the entire appellation will be certified organic. Zoom in on a pearl of the South.

Travel cakes, ready for boarding!
Designed at the beginning of the last century to be perfectly nomadic, these cakes with no perishable fillings can be kept for several days at room temperature and transported anywhere without melting or crumbling. While the function may have changed, now that we're all nomads, the taste for these cakes has remained.
Chocolatiers, bean to bar
Of the 3,000 chocolatiers in France, less than 2% make their chocolate from cocoa beans, the vast majority using couverture chocolate to melt for their creations. But following in the footsteps of Bernachon, Pralus and Bonnat, young chocolatiers are once again breaking new ground. Zoom in on 5 chocolatiers who are putting the cocoa bean back in the spotlight.
A chef's knife
At the table, every detail counts. Decoration, crockery, table linen... The knife in particular is the link between the kitchen and the plate, creating continuity between two worlds: the oven and the dining room. Who better than chefs to create the perfect harmony between gastronomy and design?
Champagne, a few spring bubbles
Champagne isn't just for the end of the year! In fact, it's "the" dream wine for celebrating spring: its bubbles, finesse, fruitiness, freshness, vitality and low alcohol content make you want to pop the cork with nature's renewal. And it's Pinot Meunier in particular that we'll be turning to this year.
