Les Souvenirs de l’Avenir – Lunch in Jouques
This restaurant is 2 miles outside Jouques and feels quite remote, lost in Provencal trees and garrigue. But the interesting thing is that when we went for Sunday lunch, it was packed. I have since learned that it has a very enthusiastic local following.

La Rouge Guinguette – Lunch in Jouques
Our French teacher explained to us that a guinguette was typically a make-shift café-bar, usually next to water, with strings of lights and music and bushes pour aller flirter. They were dotted around Paris for instance for workers at the weekends and of course were beloved of the Impressionists.

Cuers and Cuisine
Cuers is a pretty little town in the Var just a stone’s throw from Toulon (where IKEA seems to be the main draw!) so not everyone’s first choice for a weekend away. However, there’s plenty to see and do away from Provence’s more touristy towns – and more rosé wine …

Marasino – New Italian in Aix-en-Provence
It’s hard judging a restaurant from the outside. Some look tiny and are tiny….others are deceptive. And the new ‘Marasino’ is one such. The small terrace, next to the Hotel St Christophe near the Rotonde, gives no clue as to the large number of seats inside.
