16/06/2026: A beautiful monument with an interesting history

12/06/2026: The Abbaye du Thoronet is a fascinating masterpiece of medieval architecture. Nestled in the wooded hills of the Var department in Provence (southern France), it is considered, along with the abbeys of Sénanque and Silvacane, one of the three famous Cistercian sisters of Provence ("Les trois sœurs provençales"). The Architecture: The Geometry of Silence Those entering the Abbaye du Thoronet will search in vain for opulent gold decorations or colorful stained-glass windows. The Cistercians made radical asceticism their duty. Pure Form: The beauty of the church derives purely from its proportions, perfect geometry, and precise stonemasonry. Light as Decoration: Since there are no wall decorations, sunlight becomes the central design element. Depending on the time of day, the incoming rays fundamentally change the atmosphere of the space. The Cloister: It is considered one of the oldest and best-preserved in Provence. Its heavy Romanesque arches enclose a courtyard that exudes absolute tranquility. The Magical Acoustics An absolute highlight of the abbey church is its echo. Due to the smooth, bare stone walls and the unique shape of the vault, the space has a reverberation time of approximately 10 to 12 seconds. Fun Fact: In the past, the monks were not allowed to speak in their daily lives. Their only form of expression was communal singing. The acoustics in the Thoronet forced the singers to sing extremely slowly and precisely – any wrong note would have mercilessly hung in the air for seconds. Even today, musicians from all over the world use this space for unique recordings. A Brief Look at History Founded around 1160: Construction began in the late 12th century. The monastery provided space for about 20 monks and several dozen lay brothers who worked the land. Decline and Rescue: During the French Revolution, the monastery was abandoned and fell into ruin. However, in the 19th century, it was rediscovered by the famous writer Prosper Mérimée (then a preservationist) and painstakingly restored. Inspiration for Modernism Hard to believe, but this medieval monastery has profoundly influenced modern architecture. The renowned architect Le Corbusier visited Thoronet extensively in the 1950s. He was deeply impressed by how so much emotion could be evoked from pure stone, light, and shadow. His famous Sainte-Marie de la Tourette complex is directly based on the impressions he gained at Thoronet. Conclusion: If you are ever in Provence, the Abbaye du Thoronet is an absolute must-see – even if you are not usually interested in churches. It is less a traditional museum and more a place to be experienced with all your senses.

30/04/2026: Beautiful place, very welcoming. Delicious latte macchiato 😉

02/04/2026: I regularly have my coffee here. A very wide selection and excellent blends. And we also come for tea in the afternoons. A great place with impeccable service. Don't change a thing!

11/05/2026: Always excellent in every way over the years. The dishes are of incredible quality and the staff are very attentive to the customers.

08/05/2026: We had lunch on the terrace; reservations are recommended as it was very busy. The food was delicious, and the daily special offered excellent value for money! The regular menu was also very tasty and reasonably priced. The terrace is lovely; you can hardly see or hear anything from the street. The only downside is that you only find out about the daily special if you ask.

13/06/2026: We’ve eaten here before seven years ago and it didn’t disappoint. A concise menu, the food we had was well presented and tasty. The atmosphere was especially pleasant with a warm evening and sitting under the trees on the terrace.

12/06/2026: Absolutely fantastic! We were seated at a table of eight, perfectly nestled among the bushes in a quiet little corner. The service was impeccable, with smiles and energy! The food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

29/05/2026: A break on the road, in the village of Ste Sachari, and lunch at Lilo (nice and cool inside), very good food, attentive staff, spotless, we will gladly return. Excellent squid salad, excellent seafood lasagna, the catch of the day (sea bass) was equally good, we highly recommend it.

01/07/2026: Good value for money. Right in the middle of St. Tropez. Friendly service.

24/06/2026: Excellent experience! The pasta carbonara was delicious, prepared in the purest Italian tradition. The salad of the day was also superb. All the dishes were very good, generous, and perfectly presented. The service was very quick and efficient. Our waitress was particularly pleasant, smiling, and professional throughout the meal. We have absolutely no complaints; we had a wonderful time. We will gladly return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

21/06/2026: Everything is made with so much love, you can taste it in the food! The chef is a true master! The pork fricassee was excellent, so delicious! A Cogolin restaurant you absolutely must try!

10/06/2026: We received a very warm welcome at this restaurant. The dishes were truly excellent, especially one we weren't particularly familiar with, served with a very successful, reimagined chickpea side dish. The service and welcome were also impeccable, with the owner being particularly kind and attentive. However, it must be said that there was far too long a wait between courses. The owner seemed aware of this, having received many reservations throughout the day, which undoubtedly overwhelmed him. Since the restaurant is located on a fairly quiet side street, he perhaps wasn't expecting such a large influx of customers. Despite this negative point, the overall experience remains very positive thanks to the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the warm welcome. It is primarily the owner's kindness that justifies this five-star rating, because without it, I would have given it a lower rating due to the wait time.

25/06/2026: We made a reservation for a birthday at this restaurant. We were received very warmly; with a mix of French and English, you get by. It takes some searching together, but you understand each other well. We had trouble choosing a suitable wine, but this wasn't a problem as we were given three to taste. The service was very friendly and they checked regularly to see if everything was in order. The food arrived quickly and the view was beautiful. They also pleasantly took into account a small gift for the birthday.

23/06/2026: Like Otis sitting at the dock of the bay. We sat about 50m above sea level looking over the bay flooded with evening sunshine giving way to dusk and the twinkling lights. We started with the house rum punch followed by a little taster while the rich soup came to us.

02/05/2026: We received a very warm welcome at the bakery in Mons. From savory to sweet, everything was delicious!

26/04/2026: A warm welcome, a to-die-for pine nut tart, and excellent bread. Botanical enamel tiles, made by a former resident, are on display on one wall. Magnificent.

26/05/2026: Great restaurant, the best. Excellent aioli. Everything is perfect. Very, very clean. And thank you to Geoffrey and Alex, two super professional, kind, and welcoming waiters. A big thank you for everything. Great restaurant, I'll be back if I'm passing through. The two Savoyards from the Grand Prix food trucks 🚚 🚚 🚚 🚚 🚚
