Rick Stein's search for France's best-kept gastronomic secrets is soon coming to an end, with the last episode set to air on 10th December.
The stunning French locales, however – and indeed the local delicacies – are thankfully here to stay, with the grilled sausages of the Pyrenees mountains and the Mediterranean's finest fish only a road trip away.
Here's a guide to all the not-so-secret locations Rick dines at throughout the series. Rick Stein's recipes have already been released in a new companion cookbook of the same name, Secret France.

The secret prosecution of Nigerian journalist Jones Abiri | Freedom of the press | Al Jazeera
In over three years of prosecution, this is only the most recent effort to deny transparency on a case symbolic of broader concerns about press freedom and accountability in Nigeria.
Finally, in August 2018, after local journalists and right s groups repeatedly raised his case with officials, Abiri was brought to a magistrate's court in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, and charged with allegedly demanding payments from oil companies. The government maintained he was a militant, but no evidence was ever presented and the case was thrown out over a jurisdictional issue .
FBI's secret court that allowed Trump targeting needs radical reform
In a bombshell report yesterday, the Justice Department Inspector General found that the Federal Bureau of Investigation made "fundamental errors" and persistently deceived a secret court to authorize surveilling a 2016 Trump presidential campaign official. Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not find that the FBI's actions were spurred by political bias but that conclusion is not necessarily shared by Attorney General William Barr.
Perhaps the most jolting revelations in the IG report detail the FBI's efforts to secure a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) search warrant to use against the Trump campaign after suspicions were raised of Russian collusion. A FISA warrant is the nuclear bomb of searches, authorizing the FBI "to conduct, simultaneous telephone, microphone, cell phone, e-mail and computer surveillance of the U.S.
White House veterans helped UAE build secret surveillance unit | USA News | Al Jazeera
In the years after 9/11, former United States counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke warned Congress that the country needed more expansive spying powers to prevent another catastrophe. Five years after leaving government, he shopped the same idea to an enthusiastic partner: an Arab monarchy with deep pockets.
In 2008, Clarke went to work as a consultant guiding the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) as it created a cyber-surveillance capability that would utilise top US intelligence contractors to help monitor threats against the tiny nation.

Hackers Can Mess With Voltages to Steal Intel Chips' Secrets | WIRED
When thieves want to steal treasures surrounded by sensors and alarms, they sometimes resort to cutting the power, disrupting the flow of electricity to those expensive security systems. It turns out that hackers can pull off a similar trick: breaking the security mechanisms of Intel chips by messing with their power supply, and exposing their most sensitive secrets.
Two teams of researchers—one at the University of Birmingham in the UK, TU Graz in Vienna, KU Leuven in Belgium and another at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany and the University of California—have found a new technique that can allow hackers to fiddle with the voltage of Intel chips to cause them to leak information stored using Intel's Secure Guard Extensions feature. Those "secure enclaves" in a device's memory are designed to be impregnable.
These Glasses Contain a Secret Video File Coded in DNA - VICE
"Let's say that someone is thinking that you're trying to take information out from a facility or from a border, and they capture you and screen all your electronic devices," said Yaniv Erlich, the senior author of the study , which was published on Monday in the journal Nature Biotechnology . With this technology, you could conceal the information within a shirt button, he added.
All digital information boils down to a series of 1s and 0s. By creating a code that turns the four bases of DNA (A, G, C, T) into some sequence of 1s and 0s, the researchers were able to represent 3D printing instructions and a two-minute video as short DNA sequences called oligos. Next, they sandwiched the DNA inside layers of silica, forming nanometer glass beads.
Nina Dobrev Shared Her Secret for Combating Rosacea | Teen Vogue
Like the rest of us, Nina Dobrev has to contend with unexpected blemishes and the occasional bout of skin redness. We all have our tried and true ways of dealing with skin woes, and as the former Vampire Diaries star revealed in a brand new video, she relies on a mixture of serums and some solid cleansing time to combat blemishes.

The cool and unconventional secret to affordable housing near San Francisco - MarketWatch
The cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area is astronomically high compared with other U.S. cities, even other major metropolitan areas. In a recent comparison of 75 cities, San Francisco was the most expensive city in the country, with its neighbors San Jose and Oakland in the top five along with New York City and Boston.
But not everyone can shell out a cool $1.3 million for a single-family home (that's the median listing price for just the average home — not a luxury residence). What is a would-be San Franciscan without a million dollars in the bank to do?
