Le Marina - Provençal cuisine on Montauroux's flower-filled square

In Callian, Mas Ricardenque brings together two emblematic crops of the Pays de Fayence on one estate: grapevines and the Centifolia rose grown for perfumery. This family estate uses organic farming methods and grows around 8,000 Centifolia rose bushes alongside a vineyard whose grapes are made into wine on site.

Why visit?

A visit reveals how two kinds of terroir coexist: wine and perfume plants. Across the seasons, the estate tells the story of growing and harvesting roses, and working the vines through to winemaking.

Can you explore the estate itself?

Mas Ricardenque occasionally opens its growing areas to visitors. In 2026, it notably participates in the Pays de Fayence's Visites de la Passion / Chemins parfumés, with a small-group encounter among the roses and vines to discover the work of Pascal and Lauriane.

The little extra

Here, the connection between farming and perfume is particularly tangible: the Centifolia rose is not decorative but a genuine agricultural crop, growing alongside the vines. It is an interesting place to combine winemaking, perfume plants and family expertise in a single outing.

What to know before visiting

Visits and immersive experiences depend on growing seasons and scheduled events. For 2026, it is best to check dates and book before travelling.

Step into Montauroux's rue des Potiers

In the heart of the old village of Montauroux, DMB Céramique is Mathilde and Adriano Di Martino's workshop and shop. They handcraft earthenware tableware and decorative objects: bowls, mugs, cups, oil pourers and vases. The pieces stand out through Mathilde's floral decoration or Adriano's clean contemporary shapes.

Why is this address worth a visit?

The couple have been practising ceramics for more than twenty years, using techniques including glazed earthenware, raku and wood firing. In this narrow street known as rue des Potiers, you may see freshly shaped objects left to dry. Visitors come both to see the creations and to discover the techniques of a living craft.

Good to know before you visit

The workshop and shop is advertised as open Tuesday to Saturday for much of 2026, with exceptional closures on public holidays. The tourist office states that it is independently wheelchair accessible. Do not confuse discovering the workshop and shop with taking a pottery class: no bookable hands-on workshop has been confirmed at this address. Check that it is open if you would like to meet the craftspeople.
