Epicureans come from far and wide to sample Jean-Pierre Frezia's Provençal
cuisine served in a sea of vineyards: red mullet and spinach cannelloni, grilled catch of the
day and sensational desserts, all accompanied by some very fine wines. Dining at this
isolated
bastide
down a single-lane track is indeed a rare treat. It has seven rooms and a
pool - handy should you really not want to leave.

Loll on cushioned seating beneath the trees or pick a table on the terrace with nothing
between you and the deep blue sea. Cuisine is fish- and market-fuelled.

Deep terracotta walls hide this blue-and-
white-tiled fishing cottage dating from 1913. Now into its fourth generation, the beachside
restaurant cooks up just one thing over a wood-fuelled grill: fish. From the D93 follow
