THE HOUSE

A table d’hôtes born from the desire to host

Colorful table set at Les Chênes Verts — Simply hosting,
*like at home.*

At Les Chênes Verts, the table d’hôtes was built in continuity with the house and the way its owners like to welcome guests. Long before receiving guests, meals shared with family and friends already held an important place in their daily lives.

When the bed and breakfast rooms opened, this habit of hosting around a meal naturally found its place in the stay offered to guests. The table thus became a moment in itself, where cuisine, sharing, and conviviality extend the day’s welcome.

Welcoming travelers as if at home

The spirit of the table d’hôtes rests above all on a simple way of hosting. At Les Chênes Verts, travelers do not just spend one or more nights in a room: they also discover an inhabited house, where exchanges occur naturally throughout the stay.

The meal allows this moment to be extended in a friendly atmosphere, around dishes prepared on-site. Each person can thus enjoy a time of sharing, far from the more classic operation of a hotel or restaurant, with a more direct relationship between guests and owners.

The table d’hôtes in the history of Les Chênes Verts

Les Chênes Verts has been welcoming travelers to its bed and breakfast rooms since 2007. Over the years, the table d’hôtes has naturally integrated into this activity, in continuity with a house where hosting and cooking have always held an important place.

This evolution today gives the table a true coherence with the identity of the place. It does not constitute a separate added service, but a way to extend the welcome, to introduce Provençal cuisine, and to create a moment of sharing during the stay in the Luberon.

THE FLAVORS

Véronique’s Provençal cuisine

At the table d’hôtes of Les Chênes Verts, Véronique prepares cuisine inspired by Provence and southern traditions. The meals are in the spirit of the house, with dishes designed to be shared in a friendly atmosphere.

This cuisine is an integral part of the experience offered to travelers during their stay in the Luberon. It allows for the discovery of flavors linked to the terroir and the enjoyment of a meal prepared on-site, in continuity with the bed and breakfast welcome.

Southern dishes prepared at home

Véronique composes southern dishes that naturally find their place in a Provençal table d’hôtes. The cuisine remains linked to the spirit of the house, with recipes prepared on-site and served in a friendly setting, far from standardized catering.

This approach allows travelers to discover cuisine in harmony with Provence, its table habits, and its terroir. The content of the meals may vary according to available products, cooking desires, and garden harvests, without fixing the table to a single menu.

Cuisine that accompanies the stay

The table d’hôtes allows the day to be extended without leaving the house. After visits, walks, or simply a moment of rest, travelers can find a meal prepared on-site and enjoy a quieter time around the table.

This formula naturally integrates into a bed and breakfast stay in the Luberon. It avoids completely separating accommodation from meals and allows each person to enjoy the place, its environment, and the hospitality offered at Les Chênes Verts even more.

THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS

From the organic garden to the table d’hôtes

At Les Chênes Verts, the garden plays an important role in the life of the house and in the world of the table d’hôtes. Over time, the owners have developed an organic vegetable garden, with the idea of producing some of the vegetables used daily.

This proximity between the garden and the kitchen provides an interesting continuity between the place, the products, and the meals served to guests. It also allows staying as close as possible to the seasons and what the earth can truly offer at a given moment, without seeking to fix the table to always identical recipes.

A vegetable garden cultivated at Les Chênes Verts

The garden of Les Chênes Verts does not only serve as a setting for the house. Part of this space is dedicated to an organic vegetable garden, developed to provide locally grown vegetables and support the daily life of the property.

Depending on the period, this vegetable garden allows for the harvesting of different products that can then find their place in Véronique’s kitchen. This presence of the garden strengthens the link between the table d’hôtes, the house, and the Provençal terroir, while giving a concrete place to the seasons in the meals offered.

Vegetables grown in the garden

Throughout the seasons, the vegetable garden of Les Chênes Verts hosts different crops such as salads, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, gherkins, endives, fennel, beets, cauliflowers, basil, and climbing beans.

This diversity allows the cuisine to be accompanied by products harvested directly from the garden when the season and quantities permit. For each person welcomed at the table d’hôtes, this provides a concrete link between the meal, the place, and the locally grown products.

Production that follows the garden’s possibilities

The vegetable garden of Les Chênes Verts changes with the seasons. The available vegetables depend on harvests and growing conditions, which explains why the same products are not always found at the table d’hôtes.

Véronique therefore cooks with what the garden can offer at the time of the stay. Meals can vary from one period to another, depending on the vegetables harvested and the ideas of the moment.

AT THE TABLE

What can one eat at the table d’hôtes?

The table d’hôtes of Les Chênes Verts is based on southern cuisine, with dishes prepared on-site by Véronique. The content of the meal may change depending on the period, available products, and what the garden allows to be harvested.

Therefore, there is not necessarily an identical menu all year round. The idea remains to offer cuisine connected to Provence, the terroir, and seasonal products, in continuity with the bed and breakfast stay in the Luberon.

Dishes designed around available products

Véronique composes her meals from the products she has available at the time of the stay. Some may come from the garden, others complement the recipes according to the needs of the kitchen.

This approach keeps the table vibrant, with dishes that can change from one period to another. The meal thus remains linked to what is available on-site, rather than a fixed menu offered all year round.

How is the meal composed?

The meal takes place around a menu prepared for the people present at the table d’hôtes. It is an opportunity to take the time to dine, to chat with the owners, and to share the evening in the atmosphere of the house.

The exact composition of the meal depends on what Véronique plans for that day. Practical information regarding the formula offered and its content can be specified at the time of booking.

YOUR STAY

Staying at Les Chênes Verts with table d’hôtes

Choosing Les Chênes Verts means being able to combine accommodation and meals in one place. After a day spent discovering the Luberon, travelers return to their bed and breakfast room and can then enjoy the table offered in the house.

This organization provides real comfort during the stay, especially for those who prefer to avoid driving again in the evening. The table d’hôtes thus naturally complements the nights spent on-site, without transforming the house into a hotel or a classic restaurant.

Choose your bed and breakfast room

Les Chênes Verts offers several rooms, allowing each person to choose the accommodation that best suits their stay. The comfort, the atmosphere of the room, and the duration of the nights spent on-site can thus be taken into account at the time of booking.

This part of the stay remains independent of the table d’hôtes, but the two naturally complement each other. Once the room is chosen, it becomes simpler to organize one’s visit to La Bastidonne and fully enjoy the house and the Luberon.

Book the table d’hôtes during your stay

The table d’hôtes is planned in addition to the room reservation. When preparing the stay, it is therefore useful to check directly with Les Chênes Verts if a meal can be offered on the desired date.

The arrangements can be specified before arrival to ascertain availability and more easily organize the evening. This allows each person to know in advance if they will be able to dine on-site during their visit to La Bastidonne.

A table d’hôtes in La Bastidonne in the Luberon

Les Chênes Verts is located in La Bastidonne, in the south of the Vaucluse, in the heart of a typically Provençal environment. The house is situated on a terraced property, with a view towards the Luberon.

This location allows one to enjoy both the tranquility of the place and the proximity of several villages in the area. The table d’hôtes is thus part of a stay where one alternates between discovering the region, moments spent at the house, and meals on-site.

A house at the foot of the Luberon

Located in La Bastidonne, Les Chênes Verts benefits from a setting open to the Luberon relief. The property, organized in terraces, is integrated into a Provençal environment where vegetation, stones, and views of the surroundings fully contribute to the atmosphere of the place.

This situation allows for a stay in a quiet area while remaining well-placed to discover the south of the Vaucluse. The location of the house is thus part of the experience, just like the room, the garden, or the table d’hôtes.

Enjoying the meal after a day in the Luberon

After a day of visiting or walking in the villages of the area, the table d’hôtes allows you to return directly to the house for dinner. It’s a simple way to end the day without having to look for a restaurant or get back on the road.

This organization is well suited for a stay focused on discovering the Luberon, with the possibility of alternating outings, moments of rest, and meals on-site. It also allows for greater enjoyment of the setting of Les Chênes Verts once the day is over.

What is included in the meal

The composition of the meal can be specified directly at the time of booking. This is the best way to know the content of the formula offered, the number of dishes planned, and any elements included with the menu.

This information allows each person to know exactly what is planned before their arrival. It also avoids presenting a too rigid formula on the website, as the table d’hôtes can evolve according to meals and current availabilities.

Consult room rates

Bed and breakfast room rates may vary depending on the period, duration of stay, and chosen room. To find out the price for the desired dates, the simplest way is to consult the availabilities and booking information for Les Chênes Verts directly.

This allows you to prepare your stay in the Luberon with a clear vision of the budget related to accommodation, without mixing the price of nights with that of the table d’hôtes.

PREPARE YOUR GETAWAY

Book a room and enjoy the table d’hôtes

To organize a stay at Les Chênes Verts, simply choose your room, check availabilities, then inquire about the possibility of enjoying the table d’hôtes during the planned dates. This allows you to prepare accommodation and meals at the same time, without having to look for another solution on-site.

This formula is suitable for travelers who wish to discover the Luberon while having a pleasant base in La Bastidonne. Between the nights spent at the house and the meals offered on-site, the stay can thus be organized simply, at one’s own pace.

BEFORE YOU COME

Frequently asked questions about our table d’hôtes in the Luberon

Find here the answers to the most common questions for organizing your dinner at Les Chênes Verts: reservation, availabilities, allergies, and garden products.

Should the table d’hôtes be booked in advance?

Yes, it is preferable to indicate your wish to dine at the table d’hôtes before your arrival. This allows the owners to confirm if the meal can be offered on the planned date and to organize the evening accordingly.

When booking the room, it is therefore advisable to directly ask about the table’s availabilities. This step also allows you to obtain up-to-date information regarding the menu, price, and any specific features of the meal planned during the stay.

Is the table d’hôtes offered every evening?

The availability of the table d’hôtes may depend on dates and the organization of the house. It is therefore preferable not to assume that a meal is automatically offered every evening.

Before your arrival in La Bastidonne, you can check directly with Les Chênes Verts if the table is available during your stay. This confirmation allows for easier organization of evenings and to anticipate an alternative solution if no meal is planned on-site on the desired date.

Can you accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions?

Specific dietary needs must be reported before the meal. An allergy, intolerance, or specific diet may require adapting recipes or products used in the kitchen.

It is therefore best to provide this information upon booking so that Véronique can indicate what can be arranged. Not all requests can necessarily be handled in the same way, especially when the menu is prepared for several people. Prior confirmation is therefore essential.

Do the vegetables served come from the garden of Les Chênes Verts?

Some of the vegetables used may come from the garden cultivated at Les Chênes Verts. The vegetable garden hosts different varieties throughout the year, but harvests naturally depend on the seasons, available quantities, and growing conditions.

It should therefore not be assumed that all products served at the table d’hôtes systematically come from the garden. When harvests permit, they can nevertheless find their place in the dishes prepared by Véronique and contribute to cuisine more directly linked to the house and its environment.
