Mimosa Flower in the French Riviera<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Although the French Riviera<\/a> is one of the loveliest regions on the entire planet any time, it is even more so in winter when thousands of mimosa plants blossom all over the place and give it a truly unique visual zest.<\/strong> The delicate-looking but nevertheless sturdy yellow flower actually comes in many different species and one particular variety even sticks around all year long. For a lot of connoisseurs, one of the greatest pleasures in life is to take advantage of a tourist-free French Riviera and go on a mimosa tour under a pale but resilient sunshine. The traditional Mimosa Route features eight memorable stops: Bormes(-les-Mimosas), Le Rayol Canadel, Sainte Maxime, Saint Rapha\u00ebl, Mandelieu, Tanneron, P\u00e9gomas and Grasse<\/a><\/strong>, where even the most blas\u00e9 visitors never fail to melt at the endlessly enchanting sights.<\/p>\n

The locals themselves never tire of the annual bright explosion and engage in friendly competitions organizing festivals, carnivals and other events, or \u201ccorsos\u201d, to joyfully celebrate the tiny flower.\u00a0 The most popular ones unravel in Sainte-Maxime, Tanneron, Saint-Rapha\u00ebl and Mandelieu. But none of them even comes close to the \u201cMimosalia\u201d of Bormes<\/strong>, where on January 29 and 30 hundreds of divine flowers are exhibited and sold at the Parc du Cigalou.<\/p>\n
