This article was timely as I sit here sweating in Provence. The Émile Fizz sounds delicious, and I can practically taste it. I'll be buying a bottle of Menthe Pastille during my next trip to the supermarket, thank you!

Those drinks sound delightful! And I keep hearing about Angers and hope to visit this year.

Going to try the Mauresque when we get home. It sounds perfect for this weather. We have Orgeat from the last visit to the Giffard factory 😂

I've never heard of Menthe Pastille and it sounds great over iced sparkling water as you suggest. I'll have to see what I can find around here.

Hi Betty, you should be able to find it in the supermarket 🤞

Thanks! I’m rarely in that aisle. In fact, I’m rarely at the supermarket.

Ah yes… The joy of food shopping in France is that you don’t need supermarkets. 👌

Well, one does a little bit but I send my husband or use “un Drive” for TP and so forth!
