Mory Sacko is in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, a ski resort that forms part of Les 3 Vallees, with Manu Payet, humorist and actor. On today's menu: tataki and confit of trout.
The exhibition ''Thierry Mugler: Couturissime'' at the Decorative Arts Museum in Paris. All you need to know about the origins of fancy dress. In Marseille, the Cordesse family make sails the traditional way. The fringe makes its grand comeback on the catwalk. Portrait of the mosaic artist Beatrice Serre.
Where does the Belgian royal family live? Palace for Philippe and Mathilde, villa for Laurent and Claire, artist's studio for Delphine... Also on the programme: the House of Ligne, environmentally-friendly princes; a royal donation; the prince and princess of Chimay; what is it really like to live in a chateau?
The extraordinaire story of a southern bistro, the haunt of local fishermen before being adopted by the leading artists from Saint-Germain-des-Pres, and most notably Boris Vian. Today one woman, Simone Duckstein, embodies the memory of a hotel that is as discreet as it is legendary.
From lobster-fishing at sea with the Storm brothers to harvesting salt in the salt marshes with Stephane Raffin, before discovering how the Pays des Olonnes takes care of its wild bird population. We also explore the fascinating history of the sole and the renowned Vendee Globe round-the-world yacht race.
Christof Leimer is a serious cactus-lover. So it's hardly surprising that he has included plenty in his garden, with a wide range of different specimens of every age. He even offers a new home to old cacti when their owners can no longer keep them. His personal preference? Winter-tolerant varieties.
Originally built in Renaissance style, it was transformed over the centuries by its various owners into a sumptuous stately home. The Domaine de Valencay was acquired by the Prince de Talleyrand in 1803, who made it the seat of his power and prestige, and home to his collections.
Pilgrims have crossed France since mediaeval times, heading for Santiago de Compostela. Our epic journey follows one of the four French routes leading to the Spanish sanctuary: the Voie de Vezelay, in deepest Burgundy. We stop off at the Saint Front cathedral in Perigueux before heading to the Pyrenees.
Famous for the Dune du Pilat, Europe's largest dune, its architectural heritage, its oyster-growers and their villages on stilts, and its soft sandy beaches, the Bassin d'Arcachon has lost none of its unique nature, traditions and authenticity. Life here has a salty tang, lived to the rhythm of the tides...
