The Experience
From Michelin Guide
This plush Provençal farmstead, a former 18C post house, is steeped in the unmistakable fragrance of Southern France: think thyme, savory, lavender… A family business for generations, chef Jany Gleize is now assisted by his daughter Jane. The focus is on traditional, gourmet Provençal cuisine in a choice of set menus. Swish, spacious guestrooms decorated with period furnishings are also available to prolong your stay in style.
From Visitor Experiences
An imposing Provençal farmstead with rooms
A rural, historic property where dinner can turn into an overnight stay, in large guestrooms with period furnishings.
A multi-generation family address
Jany Gleize and his daughter Jane carry the house style, a generous Provençal register built around set menus.
Provence on the nose, and on the plate
A kitchen that leans into herbs, citrus and the garden, rather than chasing international effects.
