The food takes no time to get from kitchen to garden at this pretty country house restaurant with its outstanding vegetable garden.

At the Auberge des Acacias , with a mere 20 seats, Gerard and Yvonne Chevallier pamper all their guests in this tiny hamlet near the famous faïence-making town of Malicorne. As well as vegetables and herbs from the glorious scented garden, the chef gathers wild produce and sources the best from local farms. A rare combination of garden and kitchen!
