Les Remparts in Venasque

[Abra]

We just spent a week driving throught the Drôme Provencal and upper Provence, staying at little places that offered dinner. While Venasque isn't a destination in itself, being an extremely tiny town, it's in a lovely perched setting and makes a nice stopover for the night. Plus, a room for 2 at Les Remparts was only 59 Euros, which included breakfast, making it a real bargain in a part of France where bargains are rare.

Les Remparts has only 8 rooms, charmingly simple. It's the restaurant with it's beautiful view and its sweet terrace that were really the draw for us, and the food was very good and reasonably priced. From a menu at, I think, 29 Euros I had a puff pastry with assorted tiny shellfish, duck in red wine sauce, an enormous cheese plateau with a huge variety of goat cheeses (be sure to get this if you eat there) and a nougat glacé for dessert. It's cheerful and very well executed home-style cooking with friendly, helpful service.
