"The service at Boulangerie des Tilleuls is disgraceful. I perservered over the last few years, but gave up this summer after being rudely treated so drove to Mollans for breakfast and to buy bread each morning instead."

Four years ago, on a superb wine tour with Mistral Tours, we stopped for lunch under the trees in Faucon. We thought the tarts were about the best we 'd ever had. Move on four years, allowed to travel again, back on another great wine tour with Valentina, and we said 'let 's go back to Boulangerie sous Tilleuls '. It did not disappoint. The tarts (tomato and olive, onion and anchovies, quiche Lorraine, zucchini and lardon, and more) were again gorgeous. But then we discovered the sacristain...a skinny French pastry roll with honey and almonds. Wow! It was crunchy and way too delicious.

La Boulangerie was recommended to us by a local foodie, and her suggestion was spot-on. We had a great meal at La Boulangerie. The food was very tasty, the view and location fantastic and the service (despite our terrible French) very helpful and gracious. We would not hesitate to return.
