We will start this journey near La Rochelle to learn a little more about the breeding of the famous bouchot mussels but also a very particular technique to cook them. We will then go on a tour of France's best oysters: towards Cancale, Arcachon, Montpellier and finally Oléron to learn about the different breeding methods and to find out more about all the species in France. Julie will cook a fricassee of berniques, the little Chinese hats that cover the rocks of the coast, as well as pink clams that are little known to the public. We will continue our journey in Finistère to meet Sylvain, the only abalone breeder in the country, and then to Méru where there are still workshops magnifying this sublime material. The Chef Jean-Marie Baudic will cook scallops like no one else.
Julie heads for Burgundy to discover ancient breeds of poultry reintroduced to France thanks to the work of breeder Fred Ménager. We'll then move on to Auvergne to discover how the famous Label Rouge is awarded and the role of certifying bodies ... because it's important to know what ends up on our plates. Julie also travels to the Drôme to cook guinea fowl, before heading to the Périgord to prepare a turkey stew. Julie will then head back up towards the center to discover an amazing fly maker who uses rooster feathers!
Eating flowers might appear unconventional, but we often consume them without even realizing it. Consider artichokes, for instance : they are essentially large, unopened flowers. Capers are the preserved buds of flowers soaked in vinegar, and cloves are dried flower buds. We also find courgette flowers, saffron pistils, orange blossom water used to flavor pastries, and the violet sweets that evoke memories of our childhood. In addition to adding aesthetic appeal and providing a dose of vitamins to our plates, flowers elevate the flavors of a dish and can even serve as a vegetable substitute.
Today, Julie takes us on a tour of spices and aromatic plants. Spices are a call to travel, to faraway lands and to the unknown. In the kitchen, they bear witness to our relationship with others, reflecting our vision of the world. Julie's journey will introduce us to the famous black pepper, thanks to Erwann de Kerros, an insatiable pepper seeker. Aromatic plants will also be in the spotlight, as we pick them with Edouard Loubet in the Luberon...
Today, Julie takes us on a mushroom tour. There is nothing better to occupy your weekends than a walk in the forest in search of edible mushrooms. Some species, such as the cep or the chanterelle, can be preserved very well in the freezer or, for the more patient, in jars. We will also meet two chefs who are passionate about mushrooms and have become specialists in the subject: Franck Quinton and Régis Marcon. But for the moment, we're on the road, discovering typically French dishes with astonishing button mushrooms in Touraine, morels in the Jura, ceps in Gironde, russules charbonnières in Normandy and coulemelles in Auvergne!

Feeding the family is the concern of billions of people every day on the planet and it has been completely forgotten. We will also see that we, as consumers, can change things by changing our eating habits because our health and sustainable development depend on it. We fly over Paris to discover the cultivated plains, the intensive breeding in the Beauce, the pesticides in Guadeloupe and the green Camargue where the ecosystem is threatened, until India where the limits of the green revolution are reached.

Auxerre is cut by valleys whose best exposed slopes are home to vineyards. The meandering course of the Yonne runs vertically through this region. To the east of Auxerre, the Chablis region is rounded with hills. The vineyard, extending on both sides of the valley of the Serein.

This week, it is 80 kms from the capital, in Fontainebleau, that Julie is putting down her bags. Fontainebleau, a name famous throughout the world, a magical name which evokes for some a forest, for others a castle, a name which still shines with its royal history. The forest of Fontainebleau has inspired the art world since the beginning of the 19th century. Landscape painters such as Corot and Millet drew inspiration for their works there. But Fontainebleau has many other treasures in its bag, and gastronomy is part of its heritage. This is what Julie will discover through three recipes: Quail with grapes, raspberry and poppy pie and crayfish grave.
