en route to autignac: day 2

olives define our region, not just culturally and culinarily, but, quite literally, geographically. the shortest and most accurate definition of the mediterranean region is, simply, wherever olives grow. that includes israel and lebanon, spain and italy, tunisia and algeria, greece and turkey, libya and egypt, and, of course france, from the spanish border north along the pyrenees, across the languedoc coast, past the rhone, through provence and the azure coast to italy.
