La Bastide du Cours, Aix-en-Provence, France
Ideally located on Aix-en-Provence's Cours Mirabeau, La Bastide du Cours (a former nunnery) is a wonderfully relaxed 'restaurant with rooms', with oodles of local charm and history.
Just 11 rooms and suites are each uniquely decorated, sumptuously furnished, and come with everything you need for an authentic Provençal stay. As for the restaurant, it's an Aix favourite, where creative cuisine inspired by flavours from all over the world is blended with the fragrant, musical character of Provence.
