Checking in: Hotel Le Pigonnet
One of France’s most beautiful towns, Aix-en-Provence, is home to a number of gorgeous boltholes, but the luxurious Le Pigonnet, an inVOYAGE 2019 partner, is set to delight the most discerning travellers.
A stay at the 18th-century country retreat, which resides close to Cours Mirabeau and Cezanne’s Mont Sainte Victoire, is a positively dreamy experience and quintessentially Provencal.
Think endless gardens with chestnut trees and a rosary arcade to wander through, a classic French façade finished with elegant Genoese-style towers plus all the flavours of Provence on a plate at the gourmet bistro.
Inside this diminutive luxury property, guests can choose from one of 45 individually-appointed bedrooms which feature modern Provençal décor and comfortable furnishings, all enhanced by warm service and the most inviting ambience.
Relax and unwind before venturing to the restaurant to try classic dishes created by celebrated chef Thierry Balligand. At La Table du Pigonnet, Provencal delights are served in the elegant dining room, which overlooks the garden while for alfresco diners in summer months, the hotel terrace provides an idyllic setting to watch the landscape change colour at sunset.
