The atmosphere is decidedly French at
Maison de Provence, with inviting Euro-style chairs and cushions lining the sun-drenched verandah. The mini patisserie and cafe lies hidden down a back street in the Noosa Hinterland, but the pastries, chocolates, macarons and fresh bread are well worth discovering.
