A charming village, Beauvallon in the Drome region of south-east France benefits from a wonderful location. Facing St Tropez with its stylish cafes, restaurants, luxury boutiques and chic port, you’re also a short walking distance from the iconic Pampelonne Beach. With vast fertile fields either side of the village and the Rhone Valley on its doorstep, there’s some beautiful walks to be had, and for cooling off, a small lake in the middle of the village offers a perfect spot for picnics and fishing. Whilst in Beauvallon, be sure to visit the town castle – one of the prettiest in the Drome, and make your way to the large square where they hold a market every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from May to October. Here you’ll find lots of locally produced apricots, cherries, peaches, garlic and tomatoes – all ingredients for a superb, fresh dish. Enjoy…
