A house, Inn, and charming place! Big trees with leaves, a swimming pool with water and even a tennis court with a net. Surrounded by greenery, marvellous rooms are camouflaged behind stones which appear all over the place as if they were raining down. For sure: "Lou Caleu" was not hiding at the back when "made in Luberon" charm was handed out: everything to make you happy, even with a pan-bagnat sandwich in hand! You would think that this place was on the rails of a routinely "savoir faire", nothing could happen, neither good nor bad. Then you don't know the managers very well! They are surrounded by high level collaborators! Asking the right questions at the right time is a big quality! The cooks have asked the right ones; listen to what a good time I had. It is still Gérard Rondard's ambition to open his table to as many as possible with a first menu at 17 €. But the "salade de queues d'écrevisses aux agrumes" (crayfish salade with citrus fruit) from the menu at 25 € tempted me. Anyway: the name! A simply "assembled" dish? Better than that! A subtle association, thanks to a pertinent reduced citrus fruit sauce. What's more is the products are plotting to be pretty, and very pretty. 15,5/20 to start with.

A "sorbet et son alcool" (sorbet and alcohol) punctuates already. It's always nice and I must say, even if I have never been here with Mauricette, I always think of her whilst savouring my pear-vodka sorbet. Here is something big: "poêlée de St-Jacques au coulis de crevettes et saumon fumé" (fried St-Jacques shellfish with shrimp and smoked salmon sauce). The dish arrives under a bell, beautifully presented in a ring with the colourful garnishing in the centre, including excellent fresh spinach. The shell-fish are round and precise, the aroma of the salmon, and the finesse of the shrimp sauce. 16/20 is obligatory unless you have no sense of smell or taste. "Assiette de fromages" (cheese tray) then a choice of dessert à la carte: "tarte fine aux fruits de saison" (seasonal fruit tart). Apples in fact. As simple as it comes, except for being flambé with Calvados! Well done and 15/20. A five course meal... no six! I forgot the tantalizer! For 25 €, you have to admit that it is worth the trip! Where is it? Oh, read the address underneath and make your own way there! And do what I did: I slept here that evening! It makes the pleasure last!
