The restaurants: a traditional and creative cuisine - La Farandole: Our gourmet restaurant creates colourful cuisine which is a perfect blend of local Provencal produce and the occasional subtle hint of spice. Every day, the chef prepares a menu inspired by the rhythm of the seasons and the chateau's kitchen garden. - La Bouscarelle : Our chef conjures up healthy cuisine using flavours, spices and light olive oil, with a cold buffet and spit-roasted meats. To accompany the fine food, service and ambience, an inspired selection of wine is offered, including the château's very own vintages, harvested from the traditional Provence grape varieties: Semillon, Rolle and Ugni-blanc for the whites; and Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cabernet Cookery school: for those with a passion for french gastronomy L'Auberge is proud to offer a unique cookery school.
