L'Oustau de Baumanière, a Provençal estate in Les Baux-de-Provence, has been captivating artists and celebrities for decades with its tranquil and elegant ambiance. This iconic establishment, dating back to 1945, holds a significant place in French culinary history. Within these centuries-old walls, chef Glenn Viel, also a judge on French TV's *Top Chef*, showcases his increasing freedom in the kitchen. The restaurant currently holds three Michelin stars. Viel draws inspiration from the wealth of local produce, including olive oil from the Vallée des Baux and organic vegetables from the estate's garden, while staying true to his Breton roots. His cuisine, often served in custom ceramic tableware, highlights traditional open-fire cooking methods. The pursuit of authentic flavors extends to the desserts crafted by pastry chef Brandon Dehan, creating a strong culinary partnership. The wine cellar boasts three thousand labels.
