La Table de Pierre Reboul

Pierre Reboul’s renowned restaurant has moved from central Aix to the aristocratic Château de la Pioline, a suitably smart location for his high-class cuisine. The rich, indulgent French fare meets flavours and ingredients cherry-picked from across the globe (like tempura prawns, or the day's fish with goat's curd and spinach). Rooms are sumptuous too (doubles from €145).

The chateau is 5km southwest of town on the D65 towards the TGV station.
