St Raphael (85 Var, Provence) celebrates the flowering of the Mimosa marking the end of winter and the beginning of Spring (well - on the Cote d'Azur) at least - with a parade (Corso), market, walks and an itinerary to the village of Bormes-les-Mimosas. The prospect of blue skies, blue Mediterranean sea and the flowering carpet of yellow mimosa all along the coast sounds pretty seductive when faced with an English February. 11-12 February 2006 - see http://www.saint-raphael.com
