During the first leg of our vacation, we resided at this lovely hotel which has an excellent chef. This is the only place in France where I absolutely love everything that is set before me on the table! Each night we ordered the "menu du soir" without knowing what it would be and each night we were delighted with a wonderful 3 course meal of simple yet delicious Provencale cuisine including seasonal local produce and accented with the freshest herbs of the region. Each morning we indulged ourselves in a breakfast of coffee and croissants, toast, honey and the freshest homemade fruit jellies seasoned with herbs and spices, all served on the terrace. SA played in the garden and D read her stories under the huge plantain tree in the courtyard. After our brief 2 night stay at Le Berger des Abeilles, we spent a day in Chateau Neuf du Pape where we enjoyed lunch, wine tasting, and visiting the former chateau of the Pope for which the region names its wine!

That sounds ideal! Food makes a trip for us too and that sounds simply wonderful. What a relaxing and beautiful place to get away. MMMMM...gelato...even sidewalk gelato...so yummy! Prego here loves anything really cold to eat or drink with the 90 degree weather here and your stories of gelato make my mouth water! That is on the to do list for this weekend...to check out the local gelato place :)
Love you. Sarah
That's cool that you have a local gelatto place! I am thinking that would be a great business to open up here.
