This vast estate represents a unique space of nearly 200 hectares that is both a wine production and an art and architecture museum. Heir to a long history, illustrated by the presence of Gallo-Roman paved paths and other vestiges of an ancient irrigation system, the wine estate offers organic wines certified Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence and IGP des Portes de Méditerranée. At Château la Coste, you can visit the cellars designed by Jean Nouvel, discover artists' installations or sit down in one of the estate's restaurants.

This bastide takes its name from the nearby stream that runs through Cadenet before emptying into the Durance. Léo has joined his parents Carine and Roland Coupat on the certified organic estate. They farm 4,000 olive trees on 15 hectares formerly planted with vines. 95% of the trees are of the aglandau variety. Salonenque and picholine complete the orchard. Concerned in every way with the quality of the oil they produce, they crush their own olives. The result is a fruité vert or "intense taste" AOC Provence and a fruité noir tradition with black olive aromas.

If the mentions Herbal Teas, Aromatic Herbs, Spices and Salts did not appear on the façade of Florel en Provence, one would think that this beautiful shop is a perfumery. Manufacturer and creator of organic herbal teas since 1989, Araquelle - a family and regional company - has created this luxurious showcase to present the range of products of its 4 brands (Provence d'Antan, Romon Nature, Plant'asia and Florel).

The estate is located on a former Templar commandery, but its name is inspired by the witches(lei masco in Provençal) who used to come here to gather medicinal plants. 25 hectares of vines on a magnificent estate of some 145 hectares and wines with personality. There is also a green olive oil with an artichoke taste. Organic products to be discovered at the domain or in some wine shops or delicatessens and at the table of many good restaurants. Guided tour by appointment in the majestic setting of the Cengle plateau.

Talented and creative, gifted pastry chef Florian Grad, originally from Alsace, apprenticed with Emile Jung, the starred chef of the Crocodile in Strasbourg. Then it was in the south, notably at the Villa Madie in Cassis, that Florian perfected his technique. Victoire marks a new beginning in 2021, a four-handed work with Inès, his pastry companion who brings her feminine touch to the creations, with the common requirement of the quality of the ingredients and the reasoned quantity of fats and sweets. Signature and ephemeral cakes, great classics revisited, seasonal entremets and pastries are unanimously acclaimed beyond the village of Puyricard. Victoire lives up to its name.

One of the most pleasant and lively squares in Aix. Carefully decorated, the "brûlerie" seduces with its retro feel.

This traditional cookie factory is an institution. Adeline Wendzinski perpetuates traditional, artisanal production of Provençal specialties.

As Christmas approaches, you'll find gibassiers and oil pumps. And old-fashioned pastries like Jalousie and Conversation.

The olive oil produced here is a little jewel. From the 6 ha of organically grown olive trees, Guillaume produces: an explosive Haute-Provence PDO, 2 mono-varietal oils based on bouteillan and aglandau, and 2 lemon or bergamot flavoured oils. The olives are harvested by hand to ensure optimum ripeness and quickly pressed to retain maximum flavour. And in an eco-friendly spirit, Guillaume uses the remaining olive paste to spread on his land as fertilizer, and the stone waste to fuel the stove.

Anne and Pierre Chancel have started a new life by creating, 4 years ago, this preserved domain of 30 hectares at the foot of the Ventoux (12 hectares cultivated in organic way surrounded by 12 hectares of wood). Their first vintages are promising in the 3 colors and already on the best tables in Paris and the region. The hilly estate offers superb views with a marked circuit called "Chemin Sensationnel", a stroll marked out with activities (well-being workshops, readings) which ends with a picnic and wine tasting.

The Parli house, famous for its calissons, has been standing since 1874! The secret of their unequalled flavour and fondant lies in their craftsmanship, but also in their top quality ingredients. Léonard Parli is also a must for its candied fruit, not forgetting confits, a speciality made from candied fruit that is just heated up and tasted like jam! Other sweets bear Parli's signature: nougats, biscotins, pralines, and the famous Kirshbescué, a candied fruit cake dipped in Kirsch. A delicacy!

The estate extends over the communes of Villecroze, Flayosc and Tourtour whose appellations are respectively classified as AOP Coteaux-Varois en Provence, Côtes-de-Provence and IGP Coteaux du Verdon. We are in the heart of the Haut-Var-Verdon Regional Nature Park, and access from the main road to the 340-hectare estate (40 of which are planted vines) is a pure pleasure. At an altitude of 400 metres, you cross the undergrowth and enter the heart of the limestone and clay soils, before discovering the grandiose concrete cellar with its cathedral-like appearance.

The first glacier of Les Saintes and certainly the best! For over 35 years, Pierre Morère has been refining the recipes for his ice creams and sorbets, all home-made, made with fresh fruit and the best products (pistachio from Sicily, fruit from the islands, Camargue alcohol...). That's about sixty different flavours! Like its famous Camargue ice cream (with Camargue alcohol, puffed rice and milk jam) or the lemon-ginger-green or blood orange-pepper flavour! In addition, all the ice creams are made during the day.

The story of Les Tournels began in 1920, when L. Bologna fell in love with a piece of land... after several generations of hard work and passion, this 110-hectare property would become the Domaine des Tournels: a vineyard of character where rosé is king. Located in Ramatuelle on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Domaine des Tournels overlooks the famous Pampelonne beach. Set between the sea and the hills, its sandy-loam and schist terroir is a rich combination that produces elegant, fresh and lively wines. An address not to be missed!

Shanty cookies is a crazy and humorous idea that crossed the mind of an Aixoise of Indian origin: to decline small messages on pure butter cookies. Since the very beginning, first in her apartment and now in her manufacturing premises in Vitrolles, Shanty has been producing her pure butter cookies in an artisanal way, plain or with different flavors such as lemon, chocolate, hazelnut... From the dough to the parcel sent by her, she does it all! Give her your message to print, a logo, a drawing: our favorites: "mommy is busy, sweetheart", "looking for a rich brown guy" or "I declare you my laziness"... and now in mini format for a funny aperitif!

The 149-hectare estate, including 32 hectares of vines, 17 of olive groves and 100 of Mediterranean forest, is located in the Maures plain, on a site protected for its exceptional flora and fauna. A ^15th-century sheepfold has been converted into a winery, which is now the sales cellar.

The Domaine de la Giscle of the Audemard family, an independent winegrowers' estate of 45 hectares handed down from generation to generation, suffered a terrible fire on August 16-17, 2021.

Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Maître Chocolatier, Pâtissier Confiseur, Philippe Segond continues to diversify his activities. For example, his signature is to be found on the fabulous dessert menu of the Japanese restaurant Koï. We love his gourmet creations, especially his chocolates in all their presentations, in small cakes and mignardises, ganaches, pralines, creams, entremets, bonbons, tablettes, truffles... In his laboratory, he transforms and blends the finest cocoa vintages, sublimating their intense aromas by marrying them with lime, passion fruit, fleur de sel... At Christmas, jewel cases of chocolate sweets compete with festive logs; at Easter, eggs and barnyard poultry make our little ones sparkle with envy. You can enjoy breakfast in the tearoom, with real fruit juice squeezed on demand or a pastry. The atmosphere, like the service, is very pleasant. A gentle break.

It is the oldest mill in France still in activity. Dating from the 13th century, it is now run by Max Doleatto, representing the^5th generation of the family. Seven different oils are produced from ripe olives, stored for 4 to 6 days. The "tradition" is a classic blend in which the red cayet variety dominates. The "authentic", on the other hand, is a singular oil, collected directly from the millstone. Come and taste it!
