Maison de village Novissime

This inviting establishment on the way out of the village specialises in seasonal Mediterranean cuisine: courgettes, aubergines, olive oil and lemon accompany local fish and lamb from La Crau. The sublime south-facing terrace overlooks the leafy, well-tended garden. At the end of a flower-decked meadow, a handful of authentic guestrooms done up in Mediterranean colours await you.

This gorgeous old Provençal bastide on the outskirts of Avignon upholds the hospitality traditions of the country inns of yesteryear devoted to good food and good cheer. Noble produce and classicism take front stage here, illustrated by loin of cod sautéed on a slice of bread with a trio of celery, leeks and peanuts, although the occasional more modern creation can also be found. Southern Côte du Rhône wines take pride of place in the cellar. Lovely terrace in fine weather and polished service.
