One of my favorite travel destinations is Provence and the Côte d'Azur, classically known as the Riviera. It has been the sought after playground for the socially established. It is a tapestry of world class museums, and architectural structures, that blend the traditional with the innovative.
Curious explorers from all over the world travel to the Riviera for the rich, rather exclusive shopping, diverse restaurants, exotic nightlife, history, culture and of course the beautiful Mediterranean beaches.
Two things that I thoroughly enjoy when traveling to the Riviera is the great food and great wine! As I enjoy cooking, I also like to share the recipes that I find. This one is courtesy of Les Société des Bains.
