HOTELS : Hotel Bories

Northern Provence is an exciting area to explore. It is dominated by Mont Ventoux, whose white scree makes it look snowcapped even in Summer, and the vast nature park of Luberon. Picturesque villages perch atop the rugged foothills, the most famous of which is Gordes. Nearby is a bizarre village made up of 'bories' - beehive dwellings constructed of dry stone since neolithic times and inhabited until early last (20th) century. Unlike its namesake, Les Bories is a cool, contemporary oasis within the flowering wilderness

a resort hotel with a gastronomic restaurant and host of luxurious facilities. Air-conditioned bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a private terrace where one can sip a sundowner and listen to the cicadas. Shady terraces, inviting pools and colourful gardens set a relaxing mood. A gateway to a fascinating part of France. Newly opened, a beauty farm and spa, La Maison d'Ennea is the peaceful and ideal place to get back in touch with one's inner self.

Philippe Calandri, talented young chef cited in the greatest guides, offers you a gastronomy full of subtle nuances, thus distinguishing itself from the contemporary cuisine in vogue in the region.

In the vaulted room of a former borie, in the dining rooms, or on the calm, panoramic terrace facing the Montain of the Lub?ron... you will delight in sampling the creative, gastronomic cuisine of Philippe Calandri.
