LA BASTIDE DE MARIE, FRANCE ( ABOVE)

A winter visit to Provence means escaping the lavender-hued tourist clichés – and turning to the food instead (the truffle festival in Richerenches takes place this month). Return to this restored 18th century country farm from hikes in the Prealps for Provençal dinners cooked in the traditional farmhouse kitchen and eaten by the open fireplace. Decor is typically rustic French: stone walls, wooden beams, ceiling-high country dressers, shelves stacked with books and antique furniture. The wine also helps: the hotel’s located in the grounds of a working vineyard. labastidedemarie.com
