Cote D'Azur

(from Flavours of France (UK): The Cote d’Azur, as the French Riviera is known in France, stretches from Marseille to Menton on the Italian border. It offers an incredible variety of breathtaking coastal scenery and one fashionable resort after another. This region is a feature of the show. Just north of Cannes is the famous potters town of Vallauris where Pablo Picasso worked between 1947 and 1973. We all owe quite a lot to Catherine de Medici. Apart from her contribution to French cuisine, she was also the instigator of the perfume industry in France. Fish recipes and an unusual dessert devised by one of France’s top chefs are the culinary features.
