The French Riviera attracts the biggest stars, and this time, it was a basketball legend who treated himself to a gourmet getaway. In an enchanting setting, where lush nature meets elegance, an exceptional dinner awaited Michael Jordan and his wife.
France attracts millions of visitors each year and regularly ranks among the most popular destinations in the world. Beyond ordinary tourists, many international celebrities have also made France a favorite vacation spot. George and Amal Clooney enjoy their property in Brignoles, in the Var region, which was recently affected by wildfires. Natalie Portman , whose first two children are Franco-American, is expecting her third child with French musician Tanguy Destable. As for Eva Longoria, she frequently indulges in gourmet getaways to the country’s finest restaurants . This passion for France is also shared by another global icon: Michael Jordan, who was recently spotted on the French Riviera .
The American basketball legend was spotted dining at Mas Provençal in Eze, in the Alpes-Maritimes region . The restaurant captured the visit on Instagram, where Michael Jordan appears surrounded by the restaurant staff. A trip to the South of France for the NBA champion and his wife, Yvette Prieto, provided a welcome respite from his responsibilities. He now heads a veritable business empire thanks to the global success of Jordan Brand with Nike and continues to invest in motorsports. His visit to Mas Provençal is hardly surprising: this establishment is renowned for its spectacular décor, featuring thousands of fresh flowers, hanging orchids, and lush vegetation that transforms each dinner into a true immersion in a tropical greenhouse.
Le Mas Provençal focuses on gourmet Provençal-inspired cuisine prepared with the freshest ingredients. Its set menu is offered at €136 per person, excluding drinks. Guests begin their meal with a basket of crudités before choosing from several starters, including the famous
porcini mushroom risotto served in a 100kg wheel of Parmesan cheese —a true house specialty— scampi with garlic and parsley, or San Daniele ham . Main courses include lamb shank, free-range chicken supreme with foie gras sauce, beef cheek, veal fillet, sole meunière, and sea bass (with a supplement). The meal concludes with
a homemade dessert, such as praline mousse, tiramisu, or a modern take on tarte Tatin. Open only in the evening (except for exceptional requests), the establishment advises booking in advance as this address, which has already hosted Hollywood stars, heads of state and crowned heads, is prized by lovers of gastronomy and extraordinary decor.
