• Bruno★ Michelin A restaurant owes so much to its proprietors… and in this rustic, quintessentially provençal house, which was their family home in the 1920s, the Bruno family continues to uphold a tradition that revolves around truffles. After taking over the helm from their dad Clément, the two brothers – Benjamin in the kitchen and Samuel in the dining room, blend tradition with modernity: green asparagus with truffle-laced caviar or suckling lamb from the Pyrenees. Their truffle-themed set menu (the type of truffles changes with the season) remains a pivotal element of their culinary score. Forthright, ind19.4km

• Solea This restaurant has been given a makeover by a young couple, chef Valentine Lorcher (not even 30 years old) and pastry chef Adrien Antelme – assisted in the dining room by the latter’s brother. A youthful team, for sure, but as Corneille put it: "For souls nobly born, valour waits not the passing of years". The pair orchestrate sun-drenched Provençal cuisine, such as marinated and preserved heirloom tomatoes, basil oil and sorbet, or, for dessert, strawberries, cardamon ice cream and crunchy muesli – a delightfully refreshing summer treat.12.8km
