拉格朗日假期 - 埃伦庄园

This exclusive luxury hotel, which blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, is the HQ of talented Éric Canino, a chef influenced by his fruitful collaboration with Michel Guérard. Inspired by the master of healthy cuisine, Éric composes his own Provençal score, with fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood (plus some poultry), enhanced with aromatic herbs and olive oil. His culinary scope is phenomenal, ranging as it does from a modern use of citrus fruits to textbook perfect sauces and reductions that add character and depth to each dish.

Gassin, which comes from the expression Guardia Sinus, meaning guardian of the gulf, is a former Sarrazin village, occupied by the Moors until the 10C. After finding the house on Place des Barri, take a seat on the superb terrace and savour the view over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the peaks of the Alps. You are now ready to sample the house specialities: rock octopus casserole; truffle gnocchi and Grand Marnier soufflé.

You come to this lovely restaurant ensconced in a terracotta-coloured "little house" on the outskirts of Cogolin. It is run by Damien Levivien, a trained pastry chef who learned the ropes under Jean Sulpice and Yannick Alléno. He and his wife serve precise and elegant market cuisine that won't break the bank. House-made pâté en croûte, ravioli crafted on site, meticulous dishes and classic desserts are all skilfully made. In this intimate setting, the terrace shaded by wisteria and mulberry trees adds to the charm, offering a peaceful stopover on the outskirts of Saint-Tropez.

This large inn cultivates the taste of the South. The chef conjures up cuisine oozing in Provençal tradition depending on market availability, all of which at sensible prices: seabream and aioli; seabass in parsley and parmesan cream; Solliès strawberries and a sweet pesto. A few guestrooms are available, just a few dozen metres from a D-Day beach. Well-managed and very friendly.
