Costières De Nîmes AOC
Costières de Nîmes is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for wines that are produced in an area between the ancient city of Nîmes and the western Rhône delta, in the French department of the Gard. Formerly part of the Languedoc region of France, as the wines more resemble those of the Rhône valley in character than of the Languedoc, it is now part of the Rhone wine area and administered by the Rhône Wine committee which has its headquarters in Avignon.

Macondo
Macondo is a fictional town described in Gabriel García Márquez's novel '' One Hundred Years of Solitude''. It is the home town of the Buendía family. Aracataca Macondo is often supposed to draw from García Márquez's childhood town, Aracataca. Aracataca is located near the north (Caribbean) coast of Colombia, 80 km south of Santa Marta. In June 2006, there was a referendum to change the name of the town to Aracataca Macondo, which ultimately failed due to low turnout. Etymology In the first chapter of his autobiography, ''Living to Tell the Tale'', García Márquez states that he took the name ''Macondo'' from a sign at a banana plantation near Aracataca. He also mentions the fact that ''Macondo'' is the local name of the tree ''Cavanillesia platanifolia'', which grows in that area. Fictional history The town first appears in García Márquez's short story "Leaf Storm". It is the central location for the subsequent novel ''One Hundred Years of Solitude''. He late ...
