In this early winter season take a pleasure in tasting new olive oil. It is nothing else as a pure juice of olives, hand-picked between November and early December_ full of vitamins and anti-oxydants. When you buy olive oil take care to buy the one labeled “L’huile d’olive vierge extra”. Or visit an ancient oil-mill, like Vieux Moulin de Partegal in La Farlede near Toulon.

Ménerbes
The visit
If you are an avid reader of Peter Mayle, you probably already know and love Ménerbes. Every street of this tiny village is a perfect Provence postcard.
