Dining at Le Fournil Restaurant in Bonnieux
David & Karen Taylor · Restaurant Recommendations · Taste
We enjoyed a superb meal at Le Fournil Restaurant in Bonnieux this week. Guy & Jean Christophe have been there for 22 years and have quite a reputation. Three courses with an amuse bouche are only 49€, and the extensive wine list includes pichet, Luberon and wines from France at sensible prices.
Note: Le Fournil is closed, but there are plenty of other dining options in Bonnieux.
Cheryl of Cobblestone and Vineyards is “crazy about Bonnieux.” She also shares photos and scenes from the Bonnieux market (on Wednesdays and Fridays).
Sadly, this garden in Bonniuex is now permanently closed, but if that changes, visit La Louvre, a spectacular private garden designed by Nicole de Vésian (previously a Hermes textile designer). Her vision was that the garden would be green all year using only native Mediterranean plants. Discover La Louvre, a remarkable Jardin in Bonnieux.

It took just one holiday in the Luberon in 2003 for David and Karen Taylor to fall in love with Provence. This lead to owning a village house in Saint Saturnin les Apt - a holiday home. However, after just a few visits they took the radical step of leaving home and work in Surrey, England.
The plan was to take a year off to explore Provence and learn French. However, after just a few months a challenge of a different sort presented itself - property. It was a piece of land in a wonderful authentic Provencal village in the Luberon and they set about planning and building two houses and gites over a two year period.
Today David and Karen have a three bedroom villa with private pool, two gites and a chambre d'hôte room with a shared pool. Now (2015) they are approaching their 7th season with 50% repeat guests, for a season that starts at Easter and runs to mid-October.
When not carrying out work duties the couple continues to explore the endless beautiful Provencal villages and towns. Recording their visits in photographs and sampling great food & scenery.
Their blog began in 2006 as a way for friends and family to follow our adventures it is now a great resource for anyone interested in Provence.
