In that spirit, we invite you to discover a few facets of our French cuisine as we know it and savor it every day.

Excursions to discover and sample regional products which smell and sing Mediterranean Cuisine: goat cheese, honey, olive oil, seafood and others, not to forget superb wines and not compulsory but strongly recommended wine tasting. Each intriguing visit planned to incorporate wonderful sightseeing along the way.
