"Clos des Oliviers" Cotton Placemat

It is difficult to imagine the landscapes of Provence without the silver-green olive groves shimmering in the sun; or provencal cuisine with the fruity olives and olive oils; or the pretty tablecloths and pottery without their distinctive olive branch motif.  "Où l'olivier renonce finit la Méditerranée" ("Where the olive tree gives up growing, the Mediterranean ends").
