An excellent Michelin one star restaurant for thirty-five years, they've turned in their star and are no longer serving a varied menu. They've become a country inn and serve a dinner with a set menu . Call in advance to see what they're serving - and if they have room. The menu changes with the seasons, but always includes regional dishes. Beautiful garden and terrace with a view of the village of Les Baux.

Lunch and Dinner (dinner served only from July through the end of September). One Menu, based on market shopping - basically you eat what Jean-Louis' wife cooks ! <BR>The past couple of years I've found that the menus are changing less and less, and the price has gone up and up..
