A restaurant in the Var where Provence sets off on a journey
In Lorgues, in the heart of the green Provence, France & World fusion cuisine served in a 1780 house — a shaded terrace and a hidden garden. A gourmet stopover just minutes from Draguignan.
A restaurant with character in Lorgues, among the vines and villages of the Var
The Var is far more than its coastline. Here, inland, among the vines of the Côtes de Provence and the hilltop villages, Carnets de Voyage opens the doors of a house built in 1780.
You lunch beneath the plane trees, you dine in a hidden garden: the setting of a true Provençal restaurant, with a refined table and a warm atmosphere — rated 4.7/5 across more than 610 reviews.
Provence, at the table.
A restaurant that reaches across the whole Var
From Draguignan to the villages of the green Provence, people come from all over the Var to sit at our table. Find the restaurant from your own town:
France & World fusion cuisine, homemade
We start from local, seasonal produce — that of the Var and Provence — then slip in a twist from elsewhere: a spice, a technique, an unexpected pairing. The anchor stays French, the journey lands on the plate.
We cook on site and the menu changes every week. And for lovers of the classics, there's always a fine butcher's cut: nobody leaves hungry.
See how our fusion cuisine in Lorgues brings France and the World together on the plate.
France & World, at every stopover.
The inland Var, from one village to the next
The Var we love fits into a small radius around Lorgues: hilltop villages, Côtes de Provence estates, a Cistercian abbey and terracotta workshops. Our 1780 house, on avenue Allongue, is where it all meets — the place where the day ends at the table.
Every town has its own character and its own good reason to come this far: after the sightseeing, after the market, after a morning spent among the vines. Pick yours, and we will tell you the way from your doorstep.
The Var, village by village.
- 01
Lorgues, the 1780 house
Our village: the old centre a stone's throw away, the plane trees of the terrace and the hidden garden behind the old walls.
- 02
Draguignan and the Dracénie
At the gates of the Dracénie: from Draguignan you head west through the countryside, a quarter of an hour of vines and hilltop villages.
- 03
Vidauban and its estates
Vidauban, its estates and its Côtes de Provence: fifteen minutes away, Lorgues carries on the very same landscape of vines.
- 04
Les Arcs-sur-Argens
With the TGV station and the old Parage behind you, some fifteen minutes are enough to reach the heart of the green Provence.
- 05
Flayosc, the hilltop village
Perched above Draguignan, Flayosc has the charm of plane-tree squares and old fountains: a quarter of an hour of hills separates us.
- 06
Taradeau, between vines and the Argens
Its Côtes de Provence estates, its medieval tower and the banks of the Argens, just minutes from old Lorgues.
- 07
Salernes and its tomettes
The terracotta workshops and hexagonal tomettes, then some fifteen minutes along the wine road to our table.
- 08
Cotignac and its tuff rock
The plane-lined avenue, the tuff waterfalls, the troglodyte houses: about twenty minutes to carry the stroll on.
- 09
Le Thoronet and its abbey
The Cistercian abbey, one of the three Provençal sisters, tucked into the wooded hills — ten minutes from the cloister to the table.
Terrace, hidden garden & Mediterranean ease
In the shade of the patio or in the sun of the garden, time slows down. You settle in, share some tapas and let the Provençal afternoon drift by — the perfect address for a business lunch, a family meal or an evening with friends in the Var.
Your big occasions in the Var
A table for two on a Saturday evening, a team meeting on a Tuesday morning, a long table bringing the whole family together: our 1780 house lends itself to every format. The lounge, the shaded terrace and the hidden garden can be hired privately, together or separately.
People come from all over the Var for those moments. Tell us what you are planning: we adapt the welcome, the spaces and the menu to your table.
