Silence Provence Chambre et Table d'hôtes - Boutique

Let this be the translation of our experience in the Chambre d'hôte “Silence Provence”!
During our tour through the Provence we ended up late afternoon in the tiny village of Lardiers, not so far from the slightly more known Banon. Frank and Griet have exchanged their restaurant for a Chambre d'hôte at their place.
My wife and I first had an aperitif in the local bistrot. It is very idyllic and picturesque. The movie 'Chocolat' might as well have been set here. Juliette Binoche may not have been a chocolatier but a landlady who served delicious flammkuchen and an ice cold glass of rosé instead of pralines and chocolate milk. It is enjoyment in its purest form in a truly cinematic setting. The people also look like actors from the aforementioned film. They are extremely cordial and you quickly come up with some sort of romance storylines at these encounters.
Back in the Chambre d'hôte we can sit down for a dinner that Griet has prepared. The table is located on a balcony overlooking several mountains. If you look closely, you can even see the Mont Sainte-Victoire (painted by Cezanne). The view is truly breathtaking and it is also striking how unbelievably quiet it is here. As a city person you are absolutely not used to this and it gives a somewhat uncanny feeling. Nature shows itself here in its most enjoyable forms. Vast, expansive, … Frank pours the wine and shows himself to be an experienced sommelier. Griet serves a terrine with salmon, a freshly made lasagna,... It tastes sublime and this in a decor that we still can't get over. We are also happy that the temperatures here drop to more pleasant degrees in the evenings.
After dessert there is still coffee or tea. We can choose from a range of fresh teavarieties that Griet has selected for her Salon du thé.
Finally we find our bedroom. A simple room but with a very special bed. A 'Vispring', according to the owners a bed that qualifies within the 'haute gamme of the literie'. We didn't know it, but that is about to change soon. Next to the bed are 2 bedside tables from USM. Sober but stylish and timeless, as design should be.
The bed, the Vispring, looks like a box spring and is tightly decorated with linen from Brun de Vian Tiran (100% Libeco). At first touch, the linen feels a bit rough, organic, but once you're in bed… It's a sensual sleep goddess that gently takes you into the night. The bed is certainly worth its exceptional quality!
