"Set in its own beautiful grounds in the countryside on the outskirts of Villedieu des Poeles, this hostelry and restaurant offers gastronomic delights in traditional splendour. Offering a fixed price local/tourist menu, a la carte and up to 7 course gourmet extravaganzas. Not far from St Cecile, where the main street has a giant steel Lyre (or is it a Harp?) in the middle of the roundabout, paying homage to the patron saint of music."

Chef Jean Marie L'Enfant trained under top chef Jean Christophe Novelli. Three course gourmet meals at about €35 - plus wine. Please book in season. Website http://www.lemoulindejean.com"
