•Beat the winter blues with a trip to one of
France’s sunniest towns: Menton is famous for its lemons which thrive in the microclimate in this corner of the Côte d’Azur. For two weeks each February, the town celebrates all things citrus with huge sculptures made from 150 tonnes of oranges and lemons, which get sold off to locals for jam-making at the end. This year’s theme is rock and opera and there are walking tours of the groves, locals’ food stands, special menus in the restaurants, and visits to the town’s many botanic gardens. But the highlight is the carnivals that see huge floats adorned with fruit, as well as dancing and music troupes from around the world. •A macaron or French macaroon is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond meal, and often food colouring. •French onion soup is a soup of onions, gently fried and then cooked in meat stock or water, usually served gratinéed with croutons or a larger piece of bread covered with cheese floating on top. Onion soups were known in France since medieval times, but the version now familiar dates from the mid-19th century. •A croissant is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the Austrian kipferl but using the French yeast-leavened laminated dough. Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. •Chocolate soufflé is a sweet dessert that requires very few ingredients and is easy to prepare. It has a light, airy texture attributed to the whipped egg whites that are folded into the chocolate mixture. Chocolate Soufflé is a French dessert that looks quite impressive but is pretty simple to make. •A baguette is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough. It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust. A baguette has a diameter of about 5 to 6 centimetres and a usual length of about 65 cm, although a baguette can be up to 1 m long. •Coq au vin is a French dish of chicken braised with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and optionally garlic. A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though many regions of France make variants using local wines, such as coq au vin jaune, coq au riesling, coq au pourpre or coq au violet, and coq au Champagne. •Snails are considered edible in many areas such as the Mediterranean region, Africa, or Southeast Asia, while in other cultures, snails are seen as a taboo food. •Ratatouille is a rustic southern French vegetable stew from Nice made with the best summer vegetables: Eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash, onions and tomatoes. In some versions, the vegetables are combined and cooked together for a long period of time until they practically melt.
