The French Riviera Is an Art Lover's Dream — Here's How to Plan Your Perfect Trip

"At Ourea I enjoy an adventurous, Mediterranean-leaning lunch: nearly raw zucchini in a lemon-and-chickpea sauce with apricots and fried sage, an eggplant purée studded with red figs and Thai red basil, spicy tuna in a thick harissa-kicked sauce, and tender pink veal. Matthieu Roche, who cofounded the restaurant in 2018, comes by in a blue apron and describes his approach as "Mediterranean, with a bit of voyage," adding that it is "also a little réflechi," which matches the distinct, reflective mix of flavors on the plate." - Rachel Donadio Rachel Donadio Rachel Donadio is a Paris-based writer and former European culture correspondent for The New York Times.
