Restaurants and other good places nearby.
Provence is known for three things: lavender fields, historic picturesque villages, and Provencal cuisine. And guess what? That last one happens to be one of our favorite activities too! Provencal cuisine is beloved for its fresh, local ingredients and rich flavors. Think of delicious dishes such as ratatouille, bouillabaisse (fish soup), tapenade (olive puree), and the famous Provençal herb blends like herbes de Provence.
We have carefully selected our favorite spots so that we can hopefully inspire you with culinary and cultural discoveries in the area.

Slightly pricier than average, but also more refined and in a very charming setting. Visit their website for more information.
