We suggest taking your time at this Provençal palace. So allow that bottle of Bourgogne to breathe. Claim an order of the 60-minute roasted chicken, with ricotta and pine nuts stuffed beneath its skin. While that’s sizzling, whet your whistle with spoonfuls of seasonal white asparagus soup, slightly smoky and poured over succulent escargots. And for dessert, allow 25 minutes for gravity-defying soufflés, or luxuriate in every candied crumb of raspberry-filled beignets, ideal for dunking in white chocolate sauce.
