A converted warehouse in Argilliers, 8km southeast of Uzès via the D981, is the setting for this offbeat dining destination. Filled with battered furniture and abstract art, it’s a quirky space for dining on inspired Mediterranean creations; it also has a tree-shaded courtyard. Look out for the namesake tractor outside.
