5. ATELIER RABANEL, ARLES
Unusual creations from Jean- Luc Rabanel, the first organic chef to receive a Mich-
elin star. The menu changes regularly, depending on what vegetables have been
picked from the restaurant's garden, and the chef's imagination.

6. CLOS DE LA VIOLETTE, AIX

shaded garden (for further details see
