Close GalleryThe Mas des Chapelins is located on 45 acres, yet is less than a 10 minute drive to the village of Bonnieux, where you will find shops, cafes, and sophisticated restaurants. But if "country" dining is more your style, you must try the Auberge de la Loube, made famous by English writer Peter Mayle, and just a few kilometers northeast of Bonnieux. You might want to try the extremely rustic yet very popular local place, l'Auberge de Castellas, in nearby Sivergues. -
