Tender and tasty, lamb plays a key role in festive cuisine but also in everyday cuisine. Julie sets off on the French roads to discover the different breeds existing across the country. It must be said that France has one of the most varied productions in the world. There are more than forty breeds listed in 5 categories. But more than the breed, it is the way in which they are fed that interests connoisseurs. Julie introduces us to producers and cooks of this refined dish!
Today, Julie sets on the roads of France to talk about an essential product on French tables: cheese. More than a gourmet craze, more than an end-of-meal treat, cheese is associated with French gastronomy, and is also recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. With nearly 1,000 varieties (soft cheeses, cooked, blue-veined, pressed cheeses…), the French are the biggest consumers of cheese in the world!
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. To the south, lined by the Nivernais canal, the upper Yonne valley attracts climbing enthusiasts and boaters, before being swollen by the waters of the Cure. The region is renowned throughout the world for the quality of its wines, particularly those of Chablis. Julie begins her journey in Auxerre and then proposes typical recipes from the area: croquignoles and cherry clafoutis.
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.
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.
Wellness cuisine is not synonymous with sadness and insipidity. It can be extremely gourmet, for a balanced way to indulge yourself. On this theme, Luana welcomes young wellness pastry chef Johanna Le Pape. Together, they will prepare recipes that are both tasty and perfectly balanced: corn pizza with vegetables and peach-cassis and verbena puffs...
Leftovers often end up in the garbage can. But with a little thought, it's easy to recycle them. This ecological and economical gesture can even delight our taste buds. Like us, Luana Belmondo hates throwing things away. She knows all about waste-free cooking and has mastered the art. She shows us how to reinvent boiled or steamed potatoes as something other than mashed potatoes. On the program: potato soufflé with paprika and vegetable gratin with curry.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand continues his world tour in the name of sustainable development and environmental protection. He shows us the incredible wealth of our planet and goes to meet those who propose solutions to perpetuate farming and cultivation models. We discover how to feed ourselves without destroying in the Rhône-Alpes region, how to preserve the forest in Indonesia, but also the extent of GMOs in Alsace as well as the advantages of terroir in Provence-Alpes-Côte-D'azur.

We are in the middle of the harvest season, a perfect opportunity to discover the most beautiful French vineyards. Our trip starts with a bit of tourism. We will cross the Drôme with Tain l'Hermitage and its Baume de Venise, but also the Bordeaux region where the different domains compete to attract this new clientele. Then we head for Épernay, capital of the Champagne region, where the reputation of its sparkling wine is well established. Julie will take us to Burgundy, where the most expensive wines in the world are produced, and then back to Bordeaux, to immerse ourselves in the world of high-tech and biodynamic wines.
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!
