There’s one reason to make a detour to hilltop Caseneuve, 10km east of Saignon, and that’s to eat at the Lazy Boar, one of the Luberon’s most talked about tables. Cuisine is inventive, unfussy, seasonal and the perfect showcase for regional ingredients – and the view from the vine-shaded terrace is really unforgettable. Reservations essential.
