Sample the Gastronomic Delights of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur on Your Next Holiday to France

Some of the world’s most widely loved French dishes come from the region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur in South-eastern France. Visit the lovely seaside city of Nice, on the Mediterranean Sea, and sample authentic ratatouille, a colourful stew bursting with the flavours of fresh summer vegetables such as eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini. Or whip up a healthy Salade Nicoise from the kitchen of your holiday villa, with local tomatoes, green peppers, poached eggs and savoury seared tuna straight from the sea. Marseilles is famous for its excellent restaurants where you can sample classic Bouillabaisse. This fragrant soup is made with fresh seafood, such as conger, scorpion fish, mussels and crab, all swimming in an exquisite broth seasoned with saffron, basil, and bay leaf. For those with a sweet tooth, St. Tropez is the perfect place to book a holiday rental in order to have a constant supply of the delectable Tropezienne tart, a rich, creamy confection made with luscious butter cream and brioche. Wash down all of these culinary treats with a glass of fresh, fruity Cotes de Provence Rose wine or a robust, Chateauneuf-du-Pape red hailing from the banks of the Rhone in Avignon. Savour delicious fare of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur and fuel your tour of the profusion of ancient castles, cathedrals, seaside promenades, golf courses and ski resorts of this incredibly diverse region.
