Top choice in Gorges du Verdon
The Pink Farm is quirkiness and charm personified. Inside its rosy-pink, Italianate façade, you'll find a treasure trove of collectables – from vintage soda siphons and antique film projectors to a display case of coffee grinders. Even better, the rooms (all colour-coded and themed accordingly) are charming, looking out onto dreamy, flower-filled gardens.
Breakfast is €11.50.
