After falling in love with the old priory in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a member of “Relais & Châteaux”, Geneviève and Jean-André Charial decided to make this place steeped in history one of their “Maisons de Baumanière”. Fabien Fage reigns over the kitchen of the restaurant, nestling at the heart of a delightful garden. Le Prieuré, 7 place du Chapitre, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon (04 90 15 90 15 and www.leprieure.com).
