Well actually the first thing I think of is rosé wine! But out of the choices, it has to be c) Herbes de Provence, because whenever I visit the region I bring some home to use in my cooking, it seems to make the holiday last longer. Plus I’ve never been there at lavender or sunflower time!
the correct ans is A lavender fields
A) The Lavender fields!

When I think of Provence I think of the country side covered in lavender flowers!
Although one thinks of lavender, I actually believe “ herbes de Provence “ are more evocative- and last longer. I always buy some during a visit to France to bring home to north of England so in winter months on a cold grey day, I can cook a herb omelette and think sun, sunflowers and lavender
