La Bonne Étape, Relais & Chateaux

Countless generations of the Gleize family have looked after this old 18 century post house. The latest in the family line is Jany. The balconies overlooking the orchards the mosaic of paving slabs in the gardens and the cosy atmosphere are his work. In the kitchen it is time to reinvent the tradition of the Provencal recipes of Gabrielle-the grandmother-the delicious sauce-marrow soup and baked cod gratin. And the desserts are also a source of pride in honour of Pierre-the father who was a confectioner. Is this a great place to stop off-Most definitely.
