REVIEWS
The apartment was clean and warm and we loved the view to Mont Ventoux, still snowy on top. The local rep was a very nice guy with excellent English.
We had a good time and loved Bonnieux. We had a dinner in L`Arome in the village and thought it was good but a little over-priced compared to other places. The best lunch was in Roussillon, at a smallish place called Le P`tit Gourmand, run by a Corsican couple.
