Fodor's Expert Review Hostellerie Bérard

7 rue Gabriel-Péri, La Cadière-d’Azur, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83740, France

Master chef René Bérard is as celebrated for his haute cuisine as he is for his elegant country inn with breathtaking views of the countryside and everything required for a pampered weekend on the hotel premises. The handsome Provençal-style rooms are scattered throughout a cluster of beautifully restored old buildings, including an 11th-century monastery. Michelin-starred chef Bérard offers much-coveted gourmet cooking classes (€159, including lunch and drinks), and you can soak your troubles away in the pool, perhaps after a treatment in the aromatherapy-focused spa.
