In the Château in 1772, the Marquis de Sade organized the first ever drama festival in France. Keeping this memory in mind, we created our gourmet restaurant “l’Ingénue”, run by our talented chef Franck Pujol.

On warm summer evenings, you will be able to enjoy our unique, very individual cuisine on the terrace, overlooking the garden.

In winter, when the evenings are cooler, we suggest you to dine inside, the Dining room with hundred-year-old moldings, which was almost certainly the setting of the plays and events staged by the “Divin Marquis”.

A Chef from Brittany at the head of a kitchen in Provence! A seafood lover installed at the foot of Mont Ventoux!
This may seem surprising, but the contrast illustrates perfectly his character.

At the helm of the restaurant of the Chateau de Mazan, since March 2007, Franck Pujol, learned and perfected his art with the best… (Le Chalut of Jean Philippe Foucat in Saint Malo, Les Maisons de Bricourt  of Olivier Roellinger in Cancale, Les Près Eugènie of Michel Guerard in the Landes ...).

His idea of cooking, he summed up in one simple sentence "give pleasure". Generous, his cuisine blends subtly products of the Earth and Sea, solely based on fresh, high quality products supplied by small local producers.

Franck plays, without abusing, with contrast : hot-cold, sweet and sour, a mixing of products to always surprise you, but most of all… to make you enjoy your meal and have a great time.

The product that perhaps best illustrates the creativity of our Chef is “Foie Gras”. Particularly fond of it, he cooks it in all its forms… This is to say that he will never leave you indifferent.
The Cuisine of Franck Pujol is the image of the Château de Mazan : Classic and elegant without being pretentious, often surprising and always authentic.
