The Luberon

Provence is rightly famed for the quality of its food - the region is blessed with a climate and countryscape that produces the finest in fruit, vegetables, herbs, not to mention fish and lamb. Not surprisingly many fine chefs are drawn to ply their trade here. You will enjoy their skills when you dine out, but you can also learn from the masters themselves, at one of many cookery courses and workshops in and around the Luberon:
