Food Scene

This is a very charming restaurant/terrace hidden up high in the hills, overlooking this region of Provence. Menu is crêpes, but full-meal, French version. Good drinks as well. The restaurant is nestled next to some old ruins and there is a lovely 2km walk loop, with a look-out tower with a full panorama - featuring the Alpilles mountains, the Luberon and the rest of glorious Provence. Sublime at sunset. Make a reservation: +33 (0)4 90 59 31 64 HOURS Wed12–10PM Thursday12–10PM Friday12–11PM Saturday12–11PM Sunday12–10PM Monday12–10PM NOTE: Closed TUESDAY

Beautiful Domaine in Provence with a gastronomic restaurant and a bistro with more traditional food from the region. Ask for a table outside for lunch at the bistro - spectacular.

Food is excellent and the spot is spectacular. Swim below on private beach. Pair with a drive to Cap Canaille, for the best view of the Mediterranean from above (high sea cliff).

One of the most spectacular vistas of the Côte d'Azur. Up above Cassis on the highest sea cliff in Europe (about one hour drive from our house). Go about sunset. Then make a booking at La Presqu'ile (restaurant in Cassis). Incredible.

This is a completely unique way of seeing art. Projected images of paintings on the walls of a stone quarry. Just outside Les Baux-de-Provence (which is also a beautiful chateau and site).
