We spent four night at La Bastide, and the hospitality was truly outstanding. We had left Wastington DC, flown directly to Lyon, and drove to Grignan. We were exhausted from the travel and navigating unfamiliar roadways. The owners took our bags to our 2d floor rooms and then served us wine on the backyard garden that was in full flower. On a lovely day! We dined at the Le Chenaie, the inn's restaurant and it was surprisingly good. The chef made excellent us of the spectacular early summer vegetables and fruit. Ah, the aubergine, the summer squash, the fresh local berries. But especially wonderful was when we returned to the inn late Thursday afternoon - a day when the restaurant was closed we'd not had lunch, they brought to our room a selection of apples and pears, crackers, and bottled water. We were famished and now we had a very nice summer dinner - and without charge! How wonderful.
