Julie is offering you a trip to the south of France. Between the Rhone Valley and the Mediterranean, let's discover a fruit that is harvested in November: the olive.

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.

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.
Today, Julie takes us down a different kind of yellow-brick road, one that tastes of childhood and gourmet delights: the road of sweets. France may be famous for its gastronomy, but it's not to be outdone when it comes to pastries and confectionery - quite the opposite. “Bêtises” from Cambrai, "Berlingots” from Carpentras, "Calissons” from Aix-en-provence, every region in France has its own sweet or confectionery.
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.
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.

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.
