  4. Chef’s secret

The subtle art of Friday aioli, daube simmered to perfection, a tian of vegetables nicely browned in the oven, bass or red mullet cooked just right, aubergine caviar and grilled peppers perfectly executed… Can you already smell the aromas behind your screen? No wonder: in Provence, sun-drenched flavours are all about sharing and the terroir. And the chefs who welcome you to the Avignon region are never short of ideas to help you discover their know-how and that of the local producers, whom they are particularly fond of.
