Vanessa, you are taking us on a trip to Ireland in honor of the France-Ireland rugby match taking place at the Stade de France this evening.

Yes, whether you are in Steded de France or in front of the screen, it’s an Irish dance tonight. A nice warm up before your departure for Dublin. Just before the competition, it’s a troupe of young Irish dancers Careday, world-renowned, between 19 and 21 years old, dancing on Irish sites, setting the tone for .7 dancers. They created a global buzz on TikTok with complete control.

Shakira’s interview with Joe Biden at the White House on St. Patrick’s Day, an interview aired on Good Morning America on the big screens of Times Square. March 17. I was able to see them on Thursday evening. I took the opportunity to ask one of the dancers to give you an Irish site that Dara likes to dance to.

“There’s a place called ‘The Promenade’ in Galway, where you have a magnificent view of Galway Bay. When I was young, I studied dance at a nearby studio. Well, my mother used to take me there. Completely revived.

Isn’t Galway on the west coast of Ireland?

Strictly speaking, for that you have to cross the ancestral lands, which is the most common and strange starting from Dublin. Dublin; Careday also loves to dance, on the banks of the Leafy River, and watch their immersive videos. Needless to say, Dublin is a must for the 4-day St. Patrick’s Day Festival. You have an appointment this year for one of the biggest events that hasn’t happened in 2 years because of Kovid.

It’s Kellimore: Monica McLaverti, director of the Irish Tourist Office, says: “Kelly is an Irish dancer.

In terms of health, 95% of the population is vaccinated. You can come to Ireland if you have filled out your vaccination pass and the mask is mandatory only at home.

Where do we place our suitcases in Dublin?

In a sustainable hotel, Iveagh Garden. The hotel is powered by hydraulic energy and is controlled by 50 meters of underground water. About 100 euros a night.

Marion Sauveur, You’re taking us to Menton, where the Menton Lemon Festival begins this Saturday.

An unusual citrus fruit, this lemon can be chewed on the skin and is very sweet. But I wanted to salivate at you with another citrus fruit growing on the Mediterranean coast: it was pomelo.

Do not confuse pomelo with grapes, because we are often misunderstood between the two. But the grape is a much larger fruit than the pomelo, up to 25 cm in circumference and weighing 6 kg! We are too far away from our pomelo to hold in our hands.

This grape in particular is very rare. However, it is one of the earliest citrus fruits, such as mandarin and citron. Pomelo is almost a random hybrid between grapes and oranges.

Are grapes growing in Menton?

Yes, like all citrus fruits, they enjoy it. It should be noted that there is a microclimate in Menton. The city is surrounded by mountains, which protect the citrus fruits from wind and snow. Pomelo is a tree that, once well established, bears very beautiful fruits. This is what Laurent Gannock told me from a farmer in Maison du Citron in Menton.

“It’s a very energetic tree, it can make a very beautiful tree, it’s a very productive tree, so it’s nothing special compared to other citrus fruits. It’s sometimes harder than other citrus fruits. In the sense that it is a tree, it is a fruit that can appear in bunches, which is remarkable, because the fruits are still considerable: a larger orange, pomelo, then, we have many varieties, the most cultivated here being the star Ruby. “

Star Ruby is this pomelo with yellow-pink skin and flesh.

If you are afraid of bitterness, avoid albedo: white skin sticking to the flesh. Pomelo is a very juicy fruit …

How do we cook it?

We are not rushing it. Like most citrus fruits, it does not like heat. His favorite companions are avocado or shrimp. A delight with other citrus fruits in a fruit salad, for example, orange with a little pomegranate for crunch. We will never forget the very spicy Pomelo Zest.

Pomelo, it’s a novelty to dishes, I suggest making it with a spring roll. We prepare pomelos, we keep sovereigns, only meat. Add the cooked rice vermicelli and a few carrot sticks for the crunch, add the spinach, mint and some shrimp and mix well. Put this stuffing in a moist rice cake.

We serve it with a sauce of nuk mum, pomelo juice, soy sauce and a little olive oil. Slightly fried sesame seeds for sweetness.
