E-mail : mirande@la-mirande.frThe extravagant attention to detail extends to the rooms, where handmade carpets and hand-blocked fabrics on walls recall the affluent and refined aesthetic of the French Pompadour style in the 18th century. There is not a jarring note: TV screens are concealed behind ornate mirrors; windows are made of antique glass. Bathrooms are similarly generous, with floor-to-ceiling marble and luxurious furnishings. All rooms have their own unique character; in the summer ask for those with small terraces overlooking the gardens -- they are by far the most romantic.
After exploring the cultural delights of Avignon, ensconce yourself in the oasis of the Rose garden with a preprandial Kir while you take time over the menu. Will it be tuna carpaccio with caviar, or pigeon stewed in the traditional aromatic herbs of Provence, served with artichoke and arugula? Guests find the menus so inspiring that many of them sign up for the cookery courses held in the authentic 19th-century-style kitchens below. And the perfect place to present these meals is the dining room; with candlelight illuminating the Aubusson tapestry and the finely carved Renaissance ceiling, it allows for basking in the atmosphere of rarefied elegance.
