Set in the Pays de Forcalquier, Mane is both picturesque and steeped in history, and the same can be said of the 17C Couvent des Minimes. This divine Provençal monastery has been sympathetically restored and is home to a luxurious hotel, with swimming pool, spa, and this fine dining restaurant, named after Louis Feuillée, Louis XIV's botanist, who was born in this village. The kitchens are masterfully run by chef Louis Gachet, Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2023; he seamlessly navigates between the influences of his native Burgundy and Provence. Bold dishes such as veal sweetbreads teamed with bagna cauda, or langoustine with peach and almond, his imaginative medley of fennel and his artful sauces perfectly sum up his creative and daring cuisine.
