Bonne année! We are eagerly looking forward to what the months ahead will bring here in France. In this edition, we dive headfirst into winter, exploring the comforts of a luxurious mountain chalet as well as a rustic country cottage in Normandy. Joanna Maclennan shows us her breathtaking portfolio of images from southern Provence, where the hillsides are bathed in the fragrant yellow winter-blooming mimosa trees. ‘Tis also the season for agrumes, when the French indulge in their love for all things citrus. We introduce you to Menton on the Côte d’Azur, which is home to a renowned lemon festival – and Franck Schmitt shares some zesty new recipes. There’s much more to explore in this January/February issue, which we hope you’ll take the time to savor in a cozy place among dear family and friends.
