Is there a particular spot that stands out as your favourite, and why?

The whole village has been our favourite place since we were children, because every street is a delight for the eyes, and it feels so welcoming. But our absolute favourite shop here is called « Les Délices Provençales ». It offers a large selection of best quality local products such as provincial foods and alcohols, and also free samples for customers to taste and test the products before buying! This shop is our happy place!
