Heli Gastronomy French Riviera

Heli Gastronomy From Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Monaco

Provence is a land of gastronomy. The Michelin guide is not mistaken there. The Louis XV in Monaco, the Vague d’Or at the Cheval Blanc in Saint-Tropez or the Petit Nice, in the 7th district of Marseille. Other exceptional addresses are nestled in places that are much more difficult to access, where the marvellous beauty will seduce you by arriving by helicopter. Flying over the Gorges du Verdon, the Var hinterland or the Port-Cros National Park, are already an aesthetic experience. So let’s fly to these hidden treasures.

Chez Bruno – Lorgues

At the foot of the medieval village of Lorgues, you will find a magnificent Provencal bastide.

In its comfortable lounges with a crackling fire, under the shelter of a shady arbour, in a marvellous park, Bruno, his wife and sons are here to delight you and invite you to discover the incredible potential of the Black or White Truffle. The cuisine is generous and surprising, modern and traditional. It naturally reflects the character of the owners. The welcome is warm and professional. If by any chance you are offered to visit the kitchens at the end of your meal, don’t refuse! This moment is a show in itself. Unforgettable and enchanting.

Tahiti – Ramatuelle

Tahiti is unique.

Tahiti is the only hotel overlooking the beach of Pampelonne and the only restaurant with its helipad. Since its creation, 70 years ago, the same family has reigned on the premises and provides a perfect, attentive and relaxed service. The view over the bay of Pampelonne is the first delight.

Freshness is the watchword of a refined and varied cuisine with a particular emphasis on local fishing products. Patrick, the master of the house, supervises the energetic ballet of the waiters with benevolence and a laughing eye. And then… let the party begin!

Le Mas du Langoustier – Porquerolles

Located at the western end of Porquerolles Island, a jewel of the Port Cros National Park, the Mas du Langoustier is between the white sandy beach of the Langoustier in the north and the black sandy beach in the south. The arrival by helicopter is breathtaking. Then come the smells of the primordial forest. Time stands still. Silence. The table is refined to the extreme. Here you savour Provence, the sea and the islands. Everything is there. Welcome to paradise.

Château de Berne – Lorgues

Just a few kilometres from Lorgues, you will find a château in the heart of an exceptional vineyard. Departing from Monaco, Cannes or Saint-Tropez, you will fly over the sea, then over the mountains and their forests, olive groves and vineyards of course. In this setting, there are vineyards, a hotel, a restaurant, and also, perhaps above all, cooking and oenology lessons. The Château de Berne thus offers itself as a complete and sophisticated experience. The cuisine here is tasty and elegant, just like the place itself. The Château de Berne is not a restaurant but an experience.

La Bastide de Moustiers à Moustiers Sainte-Marie

La Bastide de Moustiers – Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

A fantastic place, at the exit of the Gorges du Verdon, when you reach it, your flight is already an experience. Take advantage of the beginning of the summer to admire the lavenders of the Valensole plateau. The bastide is a restaurant of Alain Ducasse. Doesn’t his exceptional vegetable garden feed the Louis XV in Monaco? Not surprisingly, Ducasse always surprises. Everything is perfect, from the setting to the service.
