Eat & Drink

Dining in
The Bastide's terraced restaurant looks out towards the Luberon hills. Virtually everything on the menu comes from local suppliers, and chef Joel Juglaret makes full use of the region's natural larder, with locally reared pork and lamb and home-grown produce. Tuck into croustillant de Banon aux herbes du marché, or grilled monkfish served with a mushroom coulis and tian of vegetables.

Breakfast
Buffet breakfast is served until 10:30am.

Room service
Available morning and afternoon.

See & Do

See & do
There's no need to rush around here: play pétanque while sipping an aperitif or rent a bike and pedal off into Forcalquiers.
Head west and explore the hilltop villages of the Luberon, or venture to historic Avignon. See the lavender fields in full bloom in early July, and wander around nearby Apt or the the village of Saint Michel l'Observatoire, where you can cross the River Largue to reach the ruins of the 12th-century priory at Carluc. Further afield are the spectacular Gorges du Verdon, while you're just a two-hour drive from both the Alps and the resorts of the Riviera.

Diary Dates
May
The Luberon jazz festival kicks off in late May with gigs in a number of the area's towns and villages.
