La Coquillade

The Luberon


Overnighting at this luxurious hilltop estate won’t suit everyone’s budget, but everyone should try to fork out for the great-value Bistrot lunch menu. Michelin-starred and run by renowned chef Christophe Renaud, it’ll be one of the most memorable meals you’ll have in the Luberon. It’s a 5km drive south of Roussillon on the D108; look out for signs.

The hotel itself is a stunner, with luxurious rooms (doubles €325 to €390) overlooking a sea of vines.
