BIG UP BIGALLET Isère firm Bigallet has been


producing top sirops since 1872.


Today’s options include classic cassis (blackcurrant). Deeply fruity, deeply thirst-quenching! Around €6.79 www.bigallet.fr


SALAD DAYS WITH STYLE Homewares fi rm Bouchara was founded in 1899, and has quite the history of


supplying France’s well-to-do with the fi nest in everything from curtains to bed linen. But those of a certain arts de la table leaning know their tableware is something to


covet, too. Given that the company started out in Marseille, it’s fair to say they know a thing or two about serving up a salad, making their stylish range of Art Deco


porcelain saladiers very desirable. At just €36.99, that’s what we call affordable chic. www.bouchara.com


VANILLA AND ICE


Drôme Provençale’s Eyguebelle is a leading light among cordial


companies. Grenadine (formerly just pomegranate) is a long-time kids’ favourite, packed with red fruits and with a hint of vanilla. €5.40 www.eyguebelle.fr
