The travel journal of a restaurant in Lorgues
The blog pages of Carnets de Voyage, our 1780 house in the heart of Lorgues: our addresses, our fusion plates and our ideas for a stroll in the green Provence.
A blog for eating well and wandering in Lorgues
This blog is the travel journal of a restaurant in Lorgues, in the Var. We write about what guests ask us most at the table: where to eat in the village, what “fusion cuisine” really means, where to find a shaded terrace.
Each article is a short, useful stopover, written from the dining room and the kitchen — everything to plan your visit to the green Provence, then carry the walk on around the village.
Lorgues, page after page.
