They don't have citrus. Most mediterranean areas in Europe do can not really grow citruses either btw. There are some palm trees in the gardens, but the island is full of other more typical mediterranean type of vegetation (Palms are not mediterranean at the origin, they just adaptated well in the coastal areas): such as Parasol pines and maritime pines; mixed with more typically oceanic vegetation.
street view visit: (there are too much places we won't have time to visit, so this helps!) Google Maps

Well, many people can grow citruses in their gardens in many areas in France (my father in low have planted on in his garden here in Tours, I'm not sure if it will be able to give fruits...). But only near in the mediterranean coast around menton (at the italian border) they have a real production of citruses. elsewhere it is anecdotic.

Well, sure! Actually Paris is not more representative of France than Mahattan is of the USA; but still many people think that the whole of France is like Paris, Climate wise for exemple.
Cantal or puy du Sancy in the massif central? Or maybe "picos de Europa" in Spain?
aucun.
