Les Tables de la Fontaine

Languedoc-Roussillon


Red-umbrella-shaded tables are scattered around a natural spring in the courtyard adjoining this well-regarded restaurant that specialises in regional dishes, including trout and beef. Wines are also local and beers are artisanal. Upstairs are four simple but comfortable guest rooms (doubles including breakfast €75 to €80; half-board available).
