Disconnect from your daily routine
Let it all go and come make some memories with us at La Belugue.
Give yourself a break and immerse yourself in the magic
of Provence this fall at La Belugue. Imagine waking up on fresh linen sheets every morning in an 18th century farmhouse in a little Provençal village. Hearing the birds chirping as the smell of a fresh farm to table breakfast permeates into your room. As you slowly wake, you find yourself eager to start your day because everything you are going to do on this day is what you want to do everyday. Indulge in some personal care with a yoga session, followed by a delicious breakfast with French pastries. Gathering and meeting new friends while enjoying time in the kitchen together creating dishes with a local Provencal cook in an amazing kitchen. Savoring the flavor of your creations with a bottle of wine in a beautiful garden, taking as much time as you want to soak it all in. Giving yourself the space to take a siesta after lunch, nurturing your body and soul, knowing that the days are long and that there is still time to see a sight in Provence that your host is planning for you. All you have to do is rest and relax and drink it all in.

Eating seasonally is one of the wonderful things we love about living in Provence. Understanding where our food comes from and when its in season is lost knowledge in most regions of the world as we can get anyhting we want when we want it. The beauty of Provencal cusine is that it changes with the seasons so you learn to be creative based on what you can find. Back to the Basics as we say.
