Who? Saatchi Art
What? Don’t ask us how but we’ve only recently discovered Saatchi Art, the online website where you can buy, and sell, art from around the world. It was launched in 2006 by the Saatchi Gallery in London so it’s certainly been around for a while. For us, a favourite is their curated sections – handy if you find the gargantuan collection daunting. We’ll start with the delectable food collection then…

Who? La Coopérative at Riberach Hotel What? With almost nothing around for miles except vineyards, Riberach is surely one hotel restaurant that focuses on wine.

Relatively unknown right now, it’s certainly one to watch. When? Open year round Where? 2a, Route de Caladroy, 66720 Belesta, France How? For more information, see www.riberach.com Fly via Air France
