Long before Provence became one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations, Baumanière was already welcoming writers, artists, heads of state, and discerning travelers drawn to the authentic rhythm of life in the Alpilles. Nestled at the foot of the medieval village of Les Baux-de-Provence, this legendary estate has grown into far more than a luxury hotel. It is a true institution where history, exceptional cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality come together with effortless elegance.
Founded in 1945 by Raymond Thuilier, Baumanière helped shape the story of modern French gastronomy, introducing the flavors of Provence to an international audience. Today, Jean-André Charial continues that legacy with the same dedication, balancing tradition with thoughtful innovation. Mediterranean gardens, ancient olive groves, and the striking limestone cliffs of the Alpilles create a peaceful setting where life naturally slows down. Days unfold between lively village markets, hilltop towns, family-owned wineries, and leisurely lunches beneath the shade of century-old plane trees.
Baumanière is a place to experience Provence in its truest form—not simply to visit it. It is the perfect base for enriching your Provence & French Riviera vacation with French Flair.
Spread across five beautifully restored stone houses throughout the estate, Baumanière’s 53 rooms and suites range from approximately 25 to more than 140 square meters (269 to over 1,500 sq. ft.). Each accommodation has its own distinctive personality, blending antique furnishings, original artwork, luxurious fabrics, and natural materials in an atmosphere that feels refined, welcoming, and unmistakably Provençal.
Large windows frame views of the gardens, olive groves, or the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Alpilles, filling every room with the region’s famous golden light.
Each house offers its own unique character, whether reminiscent of an elegant country estate or a private Provençal residence, while remaining true to Baumanière’s rich heritage. Spacious layouts, peaceful surroundings, and timeless interiors create an inviting retreat where noble materials and soft Mediterranean colors blend effortlessly.
The sense of serenity continues throughout the estate, from its fragrant gardens and shaded courtyards to L’Oustau de Baumanière, the property’s celebrated three-Michelin-star restaurant. Led today by Chef Glenn Viel, this legendary dining destination remains one of Provence’s great culinary landmarks and is an essential part of the Baumanière experience.
