A restaurant steps from Le Thoronet, between abbey and vines
Just minutes from Le Thoronet, in Lorgues, France & World fusion cuisine served in a 1780 house — a shaded terrace and a hidden garden. The gourmet stopover of the green Provence.
A restaurant with character a breath away from Le Thoronet
Le Thoronet is first of all its Cistercian abbey — one of the three Provençal sisters — nestled in the wooded hills of the Var. After the cool of the stone and the silence of the cloister, it's a joy to extend the moment at the table.
A few minutes away, in Lorgues, Carnets de Voyage opens the doors of a house built in 1780: a terrace beneath the plane trees, a hidden garden and refined cooking, to extend a day of sightseeing at the table.
After the abbey, the table.
France & World fusion cuisine, homemade
After the cool of the old stone and the silence of the cloister, the plate takes over the journey. We choose local, seasonal produce, then let it drift elsewhere: a spice, a cooking method, an unexpected pairing. The base stays Provençal, the change of scene plays out in the detail.
We cook on site and the menu changes every week, following the deliveries. The regulars know it well: you never sit down twice to the same menu, and there's always a fine butcher's cut for hearty appetites.
The journey begins on the plate.
Terrace, hidden garden & Mediterranean ease
The cloister behind you and the abbey visited, you extend the calm in the shade of the patio or in the sun of the garden. Time slows down, you share a few tapas and the afternoon stretches out — the perfect stop on a day spent among Cistercian stone and the wooded hills of the green Provence.
