Shake Shake Shake. Looking for some new cocktail ideas using the anis-flavoured spirit that was wildly popular with artists and writers like Vincent Van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway? Well there is an an APP for you with cocktails suggestions that range from easy to prepare, elaborate to very elaborate. It's a way of helping you become creative with the ways you serve up the spirit by adding whiskey or cognac to name but a few possible ingredients. Once you have downloaded the application Versinthe Shake your Absinthe from the Itunes store simply launch the app and literally shake your phone and then select a cocktail from a list that will appear on the phone screen.

Pascal Rolland, founder of La Liquoristerie de Provence that makes versinthe in Venelles on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, has been working with some "avant-garde bars who offer their clients this festive way to order a cocktail and transform the typical order into a game that holds surprises".

Willy Wonka in Provence


Master chocolate maker Philippe Second, who was also awarded the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (it means he is among the best pastry chefs in the country) may have been inspired by Roald Dahl when designing his 2011 Christmas promotional campaign.

Reiderer, a family run business founded in Aix in 1780, has hidden 1 Diamond, 8 Gold and 12 Bronze tickets in their boxes of chocolates available at the store on Cours Mirabeau in Aix and Galerie Lafayette stores. THe Diamond ticket holder will receive a diamond worth 6500€, the Gold ticket holders will receive a gold Napoleonic coin and the Bronze ticket holders will have the good fortune of taking a pastry class with the Master Chef himself.

But if you can’t make it to any of the Reiderer locations to buy what could be a winning box you can enter to win a box of fabulous chocolates by becoming a fan on Facebook. http://on.fb.me/rOKyY0
