I never realized that oranges and lemons grew in the south of France because I’d never been there in winter before. Their season is around February. We were given some great orange marmalade and lemon wine from a woman called Paule that she had made from her own orange and lemon trees. There were fields and fields of tulips growing. The Carqueiranne area produces tulips which they export all over the world apparently. The stems are like small trees and they last for weeks. Not like our local greenhouse ones that seem to droop after a few days. Lots of other flowers being produced as well.
