Whether you're enjoying a well-deserved break in swimming-cool mode with a sea view in Saint-Tropez, vineyards and old stones in the heart of the Luberon in Ménerbes, on an idyllic beach with a blue lagoon backdrop in Saint-Barth or in Megève, resolutely the chicest resort in the Alps, there's no question of missing the most voluptuous meal of the day. For tea time at the Maisons et Hôtel Sibuet is as delicate and gourmet as it is refined, with its procession of sweets invariably homemade and lovingly prepared. A moment of pure bliss.
Villa Marie Saint-Tropez
A shot of color and vitamins to quench your thirst for a backgammon on the terrace, with the blue of the Mediterranean, cypresses and pine trees as your umbrella.
La Bastide de Marie
We bite into the sun-gilded or freshly-picked fruit that has been placed on a tenderly crunchy shortbread crust. Knowing that between reason and feelings, you'll end up tasting everything. When you're not sitting still in the shade of the lime trees, savoring an iced tea made with the estate's aromatic herbs. Or quenching your thirst from a deckchair in the vine-lined gardens. Exquisite.
Gyp Sea Saint-Barth
With your feet in the sand, you can indulge in everything: ultra-melting cookies, cocoa granola on coconut cream, popsicles... Happiness is far from being a concept here. Totally regressive and non-negotiable, the Pecan pan cookie, to die for at any time of day.
Les Fermes de Marie
Brioche aux pralines, kouglof, madeleines au beurre, cakes and other sweet treats are, of course, all homemade at Fermes de Marie. Because snacking is more than just a moment stolen from the day, it's an institution. In a word, bliss.
Lodge Park
While the Lodge Park bar is always a popular spot at the end of the day, the sweet score is no exception. The joy of lazing curled up by the fire awaits you with mulled wine, cinnamon Apple Spice and chocolate chip cookies.
Mont Blanc Hotel
The Hôtel Mont-Blanc's softly padded lounges are awesomely chic and cozy, offering a farandole of desserts to be enjoyed from the champagne bar with its vintage bubbles, or curled up in a soft shepherdess in front of the fireplace. A must.
