Pertuis, France
Les Barbus
On the main square of Pertuis, a small Provençal town between Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon, Les Barbus occupies the kind of address that rewards curiosity over convenience. The cooking draws from the agricultural density of the surrounding Vaucluse, where market gardens, olive groves, and sheep farms sit within a short radius of the kitchen. For travellers moving between the coast and the upland villages, it is a deliberate stop rather than an accident.
