La Drôme Provençale holds the distinguished title of number 1 organic agriculture and truffle producer in its department, so you will definitely feed your fancy in every corner of the region.
The produce featured here is truly local. Local to its roots, native to the Rhône-Alpes region, since this area benefits from absolutely favourable geographic growing conditions; fruit with olives from Provence, or melon and strawberries from Carpentras and of course truffles…Grignan is at the heart of these magnificent products.
Those who appreciate “local food” will be in pure heaven as they savour the selections of this province. Every day you can discover a new market and explore a new town for the pure pleasure of it.
Take Grignan, for example. This is the town classified as the most beautiful in all of France. Market Day is on Tuesday in Grignan. It can be your day to celebrate the best in life.
