COFFEE

Provence is the very definition of food temptation and drinking your morning coffee on a cobbled street, with the sound of a fountain nearby, is literally one of the best moments you could live. Most cafes will let you bring in whatever you fancy from the nearest bakery, which makes it even more fun. For our morning coffee, we love a crumbly croissant happily eaten in the gorgeous cafe in our home village of Cotignac, called Le Temps de Pose. It's in the old quarter, with tables outside under the shade of a lovely tree. (No website: 11 Place de la Mairie, Cotignac)

MARKET

There's a market in every village at least once a week, where you find the best local produce, as well as a host of arty and crafty things. It's also the perfect moment to socialise and practice your French. You can buy all the ingredients for a market lunch or just stop, look and enjoy the spectacle. Most markets are lovely, but we enjoy the market of Aups, Lourmarin and Aix especially.

LUNCH

For a really authentic, full-of-laughter lunch with typical food, go to the Bistrot du Paradou​, in the beautiful region at the foot of the imposing Alpilles mountains. Famous for its salted cod aioli andcheeseboard, the staff are equally known for their fantastic jokes and for remembering every diner's name. You will come out of there with an equally full heart and belly. (No website: 57 Avenue de la Vallee des Baux, Paradou)
