Maison Durandeu - Gréoux-les-Bains

We sort of bumped into this shop randomly. We were initially looking for biscuits or calissons. One of the staff saw us and proposed to help, she mentioned they have a room. We initially went for a simple coffee and ended up trying the sorbet. Quite simply, the sorbet was superb; the lichee one was ravishing. The coffee was tasteful. We bought some calissons after tasting them to offer them to family back home in Luxembourg.

We were looking for somewhere to have a light lunch not the standard 3 course menu of the day that so many lunch time restaurants only offer in France so we were very pleased to see that this cake/chocolate shop had a charming seating area at the back. We walked past where they actually were making ice creams which was great to watch. They did a wide selection of quiches served with salad and the croque monsieur amongst other light lunch options. You could then choose a cake or chocolate from the shop for some dessert if you wished. We did and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We visited this small town after seeing the lavender fields nearby.

We took some cakes and biscuits for eating with the kids in the afternoon and everything was so delicious, we only regretted not to have taken more

Very chic place, lots of choices, very fresh biscuits/cookies and the spice cake was delicious. The chocolate cake was rich. They have a small area inside where you can order some coffee and eat their cakes/pastries/cookies. Nice place
