The Road of Olive Trees:

Because of its situation in a small valley, Nyons benefits from a lot of sunshine all year round. It’s a medieval fortified town, with narrow winding streets. It has many points of interest, such as la Tour Randonne, a listed Romanesque bridge and its unique arched.

Buis-les-Baronnies
First occupied by the Romans (the Arx Apollinaris testifies of their past presence), it then belonged to the Mévouillon, and in the l4th century to the Dauphins. Gifted in 1643 to the Princes of Monaco (who owned it until 1789) it enjoyed a flourishing industrial activity at the beginning of the 20th century (wool, silk, leather, hat trade).assage way, which is 43 metres long.

Olives and olive oil
The olive tree - symbol of the Mediterranean - was imported by the greek some 2500 years ago. It can live for several centuries and starts to give fruit at the age of eight, reaching full maturity by the age of twenty. Olives are traditionally gathered by hand or combs from November to January. The largest are conserved for eating whilst the smallest are pressed at the mill to give "virgin olive oil". 5 kg (11Pb) of olives makes 1 litre (1,8 pints) of oil.

Truffles
The black truffle, the same as the Périgord truffle is recognizable by its strong wild perfume. Its development requires 3 essential elements : earth rich in limestone, a Mediterranean climate and a welcoming tree (generally oak). It is collected during winter at the feet of oak trees with the help of a well-trained dog. The "truffle hound" scratches the earth to show where the truffle is hidden, leaving its owner to free the "Black Diamond" with a special hook called a "Faiji". The cultivation of truffles spreads over 15 communities in the "Vaucluse" and 68 in the "Drôme Provençale".

Aromatics Plants
Be it wild or cultivated, each plant has its own special use : gastronomic, herbal tea, perfume, medicine... They are widely used in Provencal cooking. Thyme or "Farigoule" in Provencal accompanies meat dishes whilst fennel or sage are delicious with fish. Savory "pebre d’ase" is used to season goat’s cheese. But there is also romary, verbena, coriander, basil (pistou)... Anise and mint are also cultivated to make aperitif drinks.
