Dining
Le Rabelais
Housed in the 17C vaulted room of an old wheat mill, this family-run restaurant would very likely have found favour with Rabelais's insatiable Gargantua! Dig into hearty seasonal fare that is meticulously prepared (the menu changes several times a week). The chef is also the author of a delicious signature dish: pâté en croûte (cold meat pie) of poultry and green veggies with a black garlic mayonnaise. The establishment is located in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Chamas' Poudrerie – the black powder mill founded in 1690. History, literature and good food: what’s not to like?
