With 800 listings, a selection of gourmet products, and preferred addresses among the charming hotels and guest houses of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, the Guide Gantié is recognized as an authoritative source. The author, Jacques Gantié, assisted by a team of journalists, has plied the byways of the Southeast for more than 25 years. He invites you to share his taste for the authentic and for these enjoyable tables. You have in your hands the 16th edition of the only such guide in France offered in two distinct versions: one in French, the other in English. Provence and the Mediterranean continue to exert a strong influence on world cuisines, and this translation responds to a demand from English-speaking readers who appreciate the light, the lifestyle, and the noble cuisine of the South. The cover, as much as the unique iconography – olive branches, outlined from one to four, from “coup de coeur” to “grand table” – illustrates a hybrid Provence-Riviera spirit. Indices by establishment and by town make the guide easy to use, and its detailed critiques distinguish it from other works where only the rating counts. Follow it! You will discover – in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur – auberges, bistros and cafés, modest addresses, gastronomic tables, palaces, magical hotels, guest lodging, sincere growers, and quality boutiques. This traveling companion, which you can find also at www.guidegantie.com, will open their doors to you.
