Ah, I misspelt it - Trébons is the name, a small commune near Bagnères de Bigorre in the Haute-Pyrenées. it is a very much sought after onion locally. The small plants are only available March into April in the markets, so it is necessary to snatch them up when you see them. They grow quite quickly and can be used initially as salad onions, and then throughout the summer as cooking onions, but they are mild and sweet. We love them, and they seem to be trouble free.
