Are these details incorrect?

1. Le Moulin de Lourmarin, Lourmarin

Chef Edouard Loubet is known for aromatic Provençale cuisine – he picks his own herbs to accompany dishes such as rack of lamb smoked with wild thyme.
2. La Mirande, Avignon

Fine eating beside the Papal Palace. Do try the grilled red snapper scented with thyme. Summer dining is on the terrace looking on to the palace (see La Mirande, Avignon).
3. Christian Etienne, Avignon

Also next door to the palace, Etienne has frescoes, a terrace and a way with Provençale fare – notably truffles and tomatoes.
4. Auberge de la Fenière, Lourmarin

One of France’s rare female top chefs brings international influence to regional cuisine.
5. Auberge du Beaucet, Le Beaucet

The hamlet is remote but the refined Provençale cooking is a treat – try rabbit with basil. Booking essential.
6. Table du Comtat, Séguret

Old stone elegance and the artistry of Frank Gomez, with dishes that vary with the seasons, and a bottle from nearby Gigondas (see Gigondas).
7. Hiely-Lucullus, Avignon

One of Avignon’s oldest restaurants, yet with a lightness of touch to its classic dishes.
8. La Fête en Provence, Vaison-la-Romaine

Surrounded by medieval walls and lovely gardens, the terrace is a great spot to appreciate the Provençale cuisine of Jean-Claude Altmayer. Taste the duck foie gras fried with spice.
9. Moulin à Huile, Vaison-la-Romaine

Superb setting in the medieval part of town. The excellent Provençale cooking is of a standard to match.
10. La Fourchette, Avignon

Much favoured by Avignon folk for its country inn style and treatment of Provençale classics, like bœuf en daube (see Daube).
