One Star: High quality cooking
A swish handsome bastide sets the scene for a Mediterranean score that stars ingredients from the market and the kitchen garden managed by two full-time staff (don’t miss the adjoining herb garden). The chef pays tribute to the Provençal and Mediterranean repertory so dear to Alain Ducasse, such as lightly seared giant red shrimp paired with courgette flower stuffed with ricotta and ‘nduja. Vegetables take the limelight and boast their own bespoke menu. The pleasant setting, including a plethora of olive trees and a plane tree-shaded terrace, adds to the attraction of this quintessential Provençal postcard.
MICHELIN Green Star
"Our cuisine is based on the produce and on the seasons. We have 4 hectares of grounds with a 200 m² herb garden and a 2000 m² vegetable garden which provides the majority of our vegetables. In conversion towards organic production, we farm using a bio-intensive approach on living soil. Our chef and his team transform the ingredients from root to leaf."
