Le Relais des Moines

Nestling in the countryside, this 16C bastide looks out over the Massif des Maures and the village of Les Arcs. Well-hidden and accessible along a path, the interior sports stone vaults, while the patio, shaded by a reed canopy, overlooks lush green scenery. Sébastien Sanjou works hand in hand with local producers to conjure up seasonal provençal-themed recipes, dotted with nods to Southwest France: Axuria suckling lamb, Béarn poultry, Gascon duck. An example of his high-flying skill and devotion to legible food: catch of the day, roasted and served with baby artichokes and olives.
