01 · In a sentence

l'Azimut : gîte restaurant in Senez.

L'Azimut occupies a restored 18th-century building in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence that once served as a traditional Provençal farmhouse before its careful renovation into a gîte and restaurant.

The stone structure retains its original character while offering modern amenities for hosting intimate celebrations.

Perched at 1,340 meters elevation near Senez, the venue commands sweeping alpine views and provides both accommodation and dining under one roof.

I have been here while doing the Route Napoléon and it has been a great stay. Fantastic food, incredibly welcoming hosts and a location directly alongside the Route
