Garrigue is a term for the herbs that grow wild in coastal Provence.
Lavendar, sage, wild thyme and rosemary are the principal components.
If you walk along the Mediterranean coast of France, you'll encounter
these plants growing in the arid limestone soils and on hot summer days
their scent is quite evident.
