Provence is familiar to many with the cities of Nice and St Tropez, fields of lavender and sunflowers. A little further west is Languedoc-Roussillon. It is a little less known and a little less exploited. The first time I was here, I fell in love with the countryside and the small villages. My partner, Magnus, a chef, and I are travelling down on a food and wine tour organised by Anna-Brita Onkenhout, a sommelier who has a house near the small town of Beziers.

In the early 2000s, Janne sold everything he had to sail around the world with his best friend Calle. The journey took three years and led to unforgettable experiences and encounters with people. They also wrote a book about the voyage. <em>\"Brave or stupid\".<\/em> When he returned home, he bought a small house in Marseillan, a place in the world he had fallen in love with, but he had long dreamed of having his own bed and breakfast. At the end of 2014, he walked past a house in the village that was almost dilapidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Then lightning struck my forehead. This is it, this is your bed &amp; breakfast, I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 350 square metre, three-storey house had been on the market for four years, and all speculators had so far seen it as an impossible project. But Janne saw the potential and sent pictures to his friend, architect David G\u00f6l\u00e9n in Malm\u00f6, who immediately advised him to buy it. David came down and gave instructions. Fortunately, much of the original interior from the late 17th century remained in its original condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-1024x764.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-224x167.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-433x323.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering-600x448.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Rue-Galilee-fore-renovering.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The house on Rue Galil\u00e9e before the 2015 renovation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The renovations started in September 2015 and for ten months Janne worked almost around the clock.

But it was, and the mayor inaugurated it as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-1024x509.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-1024x509.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-224x111.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-433x215.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne-600x298.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Janne.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Janne Larsson in the suite at his own Hotel B&amp;B Rue Galilee in Marseillan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel consists of five double rooms, including one suite and a fully equipped restaurant kitchen.

The original recipe is believed to have been developed by Joseph Noilly in 1813.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.08.35.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name vermouth comes from the German word Wermut meaning 'wormwood' and is a spiced fortified wine that can be drunk as an aperitif or used in cocktails. The white dry variety is used in the classic Dry Martini, considered by many to be the 'drink of drinks'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other vermouths, Noilly Prat has secret recipes for the herbs and spices from around the world that go into the different flavours. These include chamomile, coriander, bitter orange, elderflower, rosebuds, cardamom, cinnamon, saffron and vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes over 16 months to make vermouth. From when the grapes are put on the lees, through ageing in large oak barrels to seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour ends with a tasting of the four varieties: Original Dry, Extra Dry specially developed for the American market, Rouge developed in 1955 and my own favourite, the golden Ambr\u00e9 developed as recently as 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-224x103.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01-600x277.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.55.01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Summer owner Anna-Brita Onkenhout and chef Magnus K\u00f6rneg\u00e5rd tasting vermouth at Noilly Prat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guide Tony claims that the Dry Martini was named after the bar manager Martini di Arma di Taggia at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York in the early 1900s and that it was originally made with Noilly Prat's vermouth, not the competitor's Martinis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name Noilly Prat is a combination of two surnames, Joseph Noilly and Carl Prat, who married the founder's granddaughter Anne-Rosine and became an official partner in 1855. When first her husband and then her father Louis died, Anne-Rosine Prat took over the family business and created a long period of growth. In particular, Noilly Prat wins the gold medal at the Paris World Fair in 1878. Anne-Rosine employs an unusually high number of women for the time, which is considered to be a contributing factor to its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-224x103.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44-600x277.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-10.26.44.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the walls of the Noilly Prat exhibition is papered with old employment certificates, showing the percentage of women employed by the company.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ostronodling-som-vaxande-naring\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ostronodling_som_vaxande_naring\"><\/span>Oyster farming as a growing industry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cultivation of more fish, shellfish and algae, known as aquaculture, is considered by many to be important for providing us with good food without depleting the oceans. Aquaculture is a large and growing industry in the world, and in Sweden there is a lot of research into expanding the cultivation of oysters, for example. Swedish consumption of oysters has increased by more than a thousand per cent in ten years. Farmed oysters are considered environmentally friendly and healthy with proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French are major consumers of oysters, eating an average of two kilos per person per year. The total production of oysters in France is estimated at 150,000 tonnes annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Languedoc-Roussillon on the Mediterranean, oysters have been eaten since Roman times and are cultivated in two large lagoons, known as etangs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marseillan is located right on one of the lagoons, the Etang de Thau. A narrow strip of land runs between the lagoon and the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janne takes us to his favourite, Coqui Thau, a family business with father Christian who started in 1985 and children Eric and Laure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.24.58.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Magnus tries high-salt pink oysters straight from the Etang de Thau.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-224x103.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52-600x277.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.38.52.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The small oyster juveniles are first cultivated in mesh bags before being attached to the steel wires at the age of two months, where they grow for about a year before being harvested.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oysters are grown on long steel wires hanging from devices at the end of the lagoon. Harvesting is done via a barge, \"bac\", which looks like a large surfboard with a steering console. There are no rails or other features, only a number of barrels stacked around the steering console. Since Janne knows the family, we get to go out on the barge with Eric, something tourists are not normally allowed to do, but there are companies that organise boat trips with tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To our surprise, Eric takes out a large BMW steering wheel. Smiling at our reaction, he places the wheel on one of the horizontal struts where the oyster wires are attached. With a few turns of the wheel, the wire is raised and the oysters become visible. This procedure is done every fortnight and simulates the ocean tide, which is not present in the lagoon, and gives a better quality of oysters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-15.37.40.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all get a taste of a fresh oyster, a little saltier than others I've tasted, and being the oyster lover I am, I can say it was by far the best oyster I've ever had.

The green grape has hints of pear, fresh herbs, lime, minerals and has a noticeably high fruit acidity and a certain saltiness that makes it excellent for oysters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-1024x501.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-1024x501.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-224x110.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-600x294.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang-433x212.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_Restaurang.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/batch_2023-10-21-13.31.21.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>By Mia Ulin.
