If it’s haute cuisine and a good bottle of wine you’re after, then cottages4you can recommend Provence holidays, after the area was given the thumbs up by TV chef Raymond Blanc.
The Frenchman believes the south region of his home country is one of the most comforting places for food – even helping him get through the recovery from a broken leg, it has been reported.
He told the Times that, along with dramatic valleys lined with olive trees and the copious amounts of sun, the Provence’s many top quality restaurants make it the perfect place to enjoy some traditional French culture and a superb diet.
"I was looking for quiet luxury, good food that would be simultaneously hearty and elegant, a spa that would heal me and a place with some character," he explained.
Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons restaurant in Great Milton, Oxfordshire, currently boasts two Michelin stars, while the chef has received an OBE for his services to the food industry.
