00:00Join me on Grand Voyager as I travel from Qatar and beyond to uncover the secrets of the iconic cities.

00:09I'm Sarah Hedley-Hymers, a global solo traveler.

00:13I discover untold stories and hidden gems in luxurious destinations,

00:19unlocking adventure, activities, culture and more.

00:24Solo doesn't mean alone.

00:26My passport is ready. Let's go.

00:34Today I'm heading to the land of glamour, colour and culture.

00:38Just a seven hour flight from Qatar.

00:41This region has long attracted artists, travelers and movie stars.

00:47Bonjour and welcome to the south of France.

00:50In this episode I'll explore the glamour of the French Riviera, the flavors of Provence and the natural wonders of Verdun Gorge.

01:00I begin my journey here in Cannes, a star of the Côte d'Azur.

01:04Each spring, La Croisette, Cannes' famous three-kilometre boulevard, becomes the beating heart of world cinema during the Cannes Film Festival.

01:16At the centre of the boulevard stands the Carlton Cannes Hotel, an icon of hospitality that plays host to visiting stars.

01:26Imagine who's brushed shoulders with the lobby's majestic marble columns.

01:31From Hollywood legends to today's box office headliners.

01:35Today I'm checking into one of the hotel's premier suites.

01:41This is the Katara suite.

01:45One of the most luxurious suites in the hotel, named after the Qatar-based owners.

01:50Let me show you around.

01:52It feels like its own world.

01:55There's a grand lounge and dining area, perfect for living the Riviera lifestyle.

01:59The bedrooms are cosy havens, with ensuite bathrooms boasting freestanding tubs.

02:06And there's even a private sauna for added indulgence.

02:12My personal favourite space is the balcony.

02:16The views are simply iconic.

02:21Katara Hospitality restored and reopened the hotel in March 2023,

02:27following a two-year renovation that modernised the landmark,

02:32while preserving its Belle Epoque façade and historic charm.

02:36The gardens now frame the hotel with colourful flowers, peaceful seating enclaves and a sparkling pool.

02:44And the terraces are home to some of Cannes finest restaurants, offering a front row seat to La Croisette.

02:52Riviera is the place to see and be seen.

02:55It's casual dining, but with ultra-luxury ingredients.

03:00And I strongly recommend the pinza topped with premium French truffle.

03:05Beyond the glitz of the boulevard lies another side of Cannes, the old town.

03:11A hillside of cobbled streets and okra-washed houses that rises to offer sweeping views across the bay.

03:18Further afield, in the flower-coated hills north of Cannes, lies the perfume capital of the world,

03:27Grasse, home to Molinard.

03:30Founded in 1849, the legendary perfume house has been run by five generations of the same family.

03:36Its original farmhouse is now a museum where visitors can learn the secrets of centuries of French fragrance making.

03:46Molinard's Astrid Nicoud offered to show me around.

03:51Welcome to the distillery.

03:52Oh, it's like the Willy Wonka of perfume in here.

04:00The distillery room houses antique copper machines used to extract oils from flowers to create perfume.

04:07Can you tell me about the typical flowers that you would find here in the south of France as popular crops used for perfume?

04:17Of course. Directly in Grasse, ten minutes from here, you've got the Centifolia Rosa that only picks up here in Grasse by hand.

04:26And every day we pick it up and then we distillate it directly.

04:30Jasmine also is the most important one.

04:32So if I'm making a perfume with you today, Jasmine would be the most important one to use.

04:39Yeah, exactly.

04:40Okay, that's good to know.

04:41So when I'm trying to bottle the south of France, that's where I start.

04:45Yeah.

04:47If you'd like a souvenir fragrance from the south of France, Molinard's workshop is the perfect place to create it.

04:55Welcome to the Prestige Workshop.

04:57Front of you, you've got the formula with the top notes, heart notes and base and fixative ones.

05:04When sampling perfume, the top notes are the first scents you notice.

05:08The heart notes give a perfume character and the base notes are the ones that last the longest.

05:13So these are my top notes going in and I picked this one because of the cute name, Blackcurrant Bug.

05:23And I'm adding this finally to my very complex mix of fragrances, which I can already smell it and I'm quite proud of it.

05:35Let's try it right now.

05:36Now my bespoke scent is complete, it's time to inhale.

05:42Mmm, beautiful.

05:44Yeah.

05:45What do you think about it?

05:46Really good.

05:47Great.

05:48I really like that.

05:49Congratulations.

05:50That will remind me of my holiday.

05:52I hope so.

05:53Perfectly.

05:54Great.

05:55This is a little piece of the south of France in a bottle.

06:02Inland from the Riviera, Provence is the land of fertile fields, where citrus trees thrive in the sun.

06:10And at its heart lies its most celebrated culinary treasure, the truffle.

06:16Shea Bruno is a renowned truffle restaurant in Lorgue founded in 1983 by Clement Bruno and now run by his sons.

06:26Hello.

06:28Samuel.

06:29Benjamin.

06:31Welcome at Bruno.

06:33Show me around.

06:35This Michelin-starred restaurant is a hotspot for celebrities, but behind its star appeal lies a proud family passion.

06:42Please.

06:43Samuel took me on a tour of the restaurant drenched in rustic charm.

06:50There are private dining areas and secluded spots.

06:53This is the VVV IP table.

06:56And in the surrounding grounds the family grows fresh vegetables that go straight to the plates.

07:03But before I sample the food, it's time to join head chef Benjamin, truffle hunter René and his dog Baloo in search of truffles.

07:12Truffle dogs like Baloo are specially trained to sniff out the scent of truffles hidden beneath the soil.

07:19And today we are in luck. Baloo has uncovered several.

07:24This is a nice truffle.

07:27It just smells very sort of potato like.

07:29Yeah, yeah.

07:30And when we see the inside and now you have to smell again.

07:34And it's a completely different smell.

07:37Oh yeah, now it's coming through.

07:38You know, because it's saving all the taste inside.

07:41So does that mean this will be extra flavoursome when we get it on the plate?

07:45Yes.

07:46Exactly.

07:47With the truffles gathered, I'm keen to learn the secrets of the restaurant's signature dishes.

07:52Our speciality is the potatoes, signature dishes of the restaurant. It's simple but really, really intensive in taste.

08:05The humble potato is transformed using a few simple ingredients.

08:10Is that olive oil?

08:11Olive oil.

08:12And salt?

08:13Sea salt.

08:14Sea salt and pepper.

08:15This restaurant uses more than 5,000 kilograms of truffles each year, making up one of the largest consumers of truffles in the world.

08:25I do not want to think how many calories are in this bowl of truffle cream with potatoes.

08:30We don't have to talk about calories today.

08:32We do. It's France. We don't speak about calories.

08:35We don't speak about calories. We speak about pleasure.

08:38Mmm.

08:39Besides Benjamin's sublime potato dish, just about every ensemble on the menu is loaded with fresh truffle.

08:47From truffled hummus to lobster with truffle, the menu is truly decadent.

08:53Clearly, Che Bruno isn't a restaurant. Oh no.

08:57It is a temple of truffle worship, a sanctuary for truffle enthusiasts paying homage to Provence's black diamonds.

09:10In nearby Cotignac, under the watchful shadow of its ancient caves, weekly markets transform the medieval village into a Provençal feast.

09:19Today, local cave home dweller Damien is going to show me where to pick up the best local produce.

09:27So, Damien, you're a local history enthusiast.

09:31Yes.

09:32What kind of things can we buy on the market?

09:35Market day. It's quite unique.

09:38Especially in the season, it's much bigger. It's the best place to get healthy food.

09:42Fresh local produce is everywhere, and I couldn't resist picking up a few treats.

09:47Before leaving Cotignac, Damien invited me to share a rustic Provencal breakfast outdoors.

09:54A simple yet delicious spread of olives, goat's cheese, white fig jam and crusty bread.

10:01Now I've had a hearty French breakfast, I'm ready for an adventure.

10:05And Cotignac is famous for being the gateway to Verdon Gorge, which is dubbed the Grand Canyon of Europe.

10:11My guide today is Swedish national Håkan, who relocated to Provence to run a bed and breakfast in nearby Montfort-sur-Argin.

10:26He offers his guests tours of Provence in his vintage citron.

10:33And so, the adventure begins.

10:36Håkan's unique tours give visitors a chance to experience Provence at a fast pace.

10:42Today, we're heading to the dramatic cliffs of Verdon Gorge.

10:47This natural wonder is Europe's deepest canyon, stretching 25 kilometers, with cliffs that rise up to 700 meters.

10:55If you're in the south of France, it's a must-see destination.

11:02As a B&B owner, this is one of the excursions that you recommend to your guests.

11:06Why is it one of your favorites?

11:08It's easy to get here and you can make it in half an hour or five hours.

11:14It's called Gorge de Verdon and also the Grand Canyon of France.

11:20Okay, let's go and take a look around.

11:22Oh, yeah.

11:26What an amazing journey this has been.

11:29The epic views of the gorge are breathtaking.

11:33What I've come to realize about the south of France is that even though it's known as the playground of the rich and famous,

11:40the real luxuries here lie in the simple pleasures, like the beautiful scenery and the joie de vivre of sharing a good meal with new friends.

11:48Just seven hours from the gulf, I'll certainly come back in a heartbeat.

11:53But for now, a bientot.

11:55For now, a bientot.

11:56For now, a bientot.
