Lunch in Avignon

A favourite restaurant we love to visit in Avignon is Vernet 83,

The setting is divine in a central courtyard surrounded by beautiful architecture.

It appears to be where the smart French "do" lunch. The food is as good as the people watching and the fashion is always stylish.

The interior dining areas are also very beautiful with cleverly understated design.

Provençal retreat

What a treat to return to Provence. I think I am definitely a country girl at heart and appreciate again the privilege of living in the wide open spaces in Australia.

We are enjoying exploring the region around Les Baux, wandering the streets of St Remy and driving through the Camargue.

We discovered a wonderful hotel here designed in the Cote de Bastide style.

Lots of faded linens set against chalky stone.

All this with Les Allpilles in the background. what a backdrop !
