Bastide de Marie

Last evening in Provence takes us to Menerbes and to a hotel called Bastide de Marie. The resort has it's own vineyards with fine wines and electronic gates to keep out the riff-raf... the kitchen in full view has a large staff toiling over a stream of delicacies served by a delightful team of young ladies.. three hours later the gates open to let us out, somewhat poorer in cash but richer in experience of fine cuisine of the Provencale region.
