When I was offered a dinner at La Colombe d'Or I could help but accept. I mean, who would have preferred to stay at home with a bowl of pasta when you can visit one of the most beautiful restaurants of the French Riviera.
But the greatest surprise was certainly what you could find behind the door at the back: the swimming pool, a hidden treasure somewhere between relaxation and luxury. There, I fell in love with the coloured tiles.
I had a lovely starter called Hors d'oeuvre – an assortment of dozens of ramequins: haricots, marinated red peppers, garlic beetroots, herring, couscous, Puy lentil salad, sardines... My favourites being: the delicious boudin noir [black pudding], the saffron rice and the tian de légumes.

Hi Fanny, St.Paul is one of my favourite spots in Provence, I love all the galleries and the beautiful buildings - I have eaten at Le St. Paul before and have, of course, always passed the Colombe D'Or wondering what it would be like - although I have never managed to get a reservation. I am glad I can now enjoy its atmosphere and cuisine through your post!

Fanny: We had lunch there in June and had the most magical time. I adored all the artwork and the pool, too. We had the same appetizer...can't wait to go back again! Did you get to the Maeght Musee while you were there?

Keiko - i know it looks (and was) so good.

Johanna - lucky you! St Paul is definitely a great place for art!
Cupacke queen - actually i live just 15 minutes away from St Paul so i went to the Musée Maeght a fews times before. The exhibitions are always great there.

Fanny
