The maquis covers (and perfumes) the north of the island where lavender, thyme and rosemary grow wildly. It is also in this region that there are the most cork oaks. This type of tree can be easily recognized by the peeling bark of its trunk, and, depending on the quality of cork removed, cork oaks are used to produce corks or the soles of shoes.
