Plantes de Méditerranée - des Albères à la Riviera

Benefiting from the mild winters, Mediterranean flora comes to life in early spring, offering botanists a spectacle of rare intensity. This is why the South of France is so popular with naturalists, who come from all over Europe every spring to discover this wealth of flowers.

Mediterranean plants are also highly symbolic, often associated with intense scents, and the maquis and garrigues, with their aromatic plants such as rosemary, sage, thyme and lavender, are deeply rooted in our imagination.

This book will delight all Mediterranean nature lovers with its comprehensive catalog of the region's plants. It will also be appreciated as an identification guide for beginners and experienced botanists alike.
