Cooking at Hostellerie Bérard, Provence, France

Hostellerie Bérard is a lovely, small hotel built into a restored 11th century monastery located in the heart of the charming old hill-top Provençal village of Cadière d’Azur. From the hotel are magnificent views over the vineyards of Bandol. This is a famous wine region located about forty miles east of Marseilles and ten miles north of the coast.

Danièle and René Bérard and their daughter Sandra own and manage their inn personally and they excel in the art of warm hospitality. The Hostellerie Bérard has an atmosphere worthy of the best hotels in the Provence-Côte-d’Azur region. As well as operating the hotel the Berard family also give cooking courses at their nearby farm. The farm ("mas" in Provencal language) has a beautiful country kitchen ideal for classes of up to eight students. The cooking is country cooking - using recipes which are typical of the region and the very best of ingredients which are carefully selected at the markets. It is relaxed and friendly with exceptional standards of cuisine. Rene Berard is a "Maitre Cuisiner de France" (Master chef).
