LA MIRANDE HOTEL AVIGNON, PROVENCE

ENGULFED IN CLASSIC SPLENDOUR

La Mirande is a complete feast, you think to yourself as you try yet another exquisite dish from the chef’s table. And not just for the palate.

With its festival of 18^th century furnishings – impossibly ornate chandeliers, gilded statues and geometric tiled floors – you have the sensation of being engulfed in classic splendour, simply by walking through the lobby. Or by relaxing in your sumptuous room.

But it is the sensational cuisine that really earmarks this five star, city-centre hotel for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to the South of France. Every meal is an extravaganza for the taste buds – prepared by the region’s greatest chefs. Tea time is a presentation of masterly pastries. Dinner is an experience whether you order a la carte, or try the sampling menu at the chef’s table.

You can even learn the chef’s secrets, by taking cookery classes with the masters, in La Mirande’s medieval kitchens with their wood-burning stoves.
