Visit Cairanne for lunch at Le Tourne au Verre Restaurant

March 31, 2017

As I have told you previously, we were in Sablet last fall with our Michigan friends Steve and Mary. The wines of Cairanne have recently been elevated to cru status—placing them in the same category as those of Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape (though they cost far less). Our friends had not tasted the wines in Cairanne, …

Luberon Restaurants: Sometimes It’s All About the Frites!

March 28, 2017

The truth is it doesn’t cost much to eat like a king in France. Though there are many Michelin-starred restaurants and fantastic dining experiences to be had, often it’s the simple café and bistro food that’s the best.

A Foodie Discovery at the Top of Bonnieux in the Luberon

February 14, 2017

One day while taking a walk up the very steep road behind Bonnieux, I saw signs for la Bastide de Capelongue and Édouard Loubet, Relais and Châteaux. Curious, I kept walking. I continued up past the village and onto a side road. I soon came to the grounds of a gorgeous resort. Cheryl and her …

January 23, 2017

If only the authors of guidebooks who drool over Provencal markets with such glowing, romantic prose could witness the scene today!
