Le Vallon de Gayet

Mouriès

A three-star hotel and restaurant in the heart of the Alpilles, built around the great open hearth in the middle of the dining room: meat and fish are grilled over wood, before your eyes. Honest southern cooking — pieds paquets, Mouriès-style beef cheek, Alpilles lamb — served in a warm dining room or on the shaded terrace.

A place we love to recommend to our guests during their stay at Mas de l'Herne, in Eygalières.
