Après la Sieste
Zen minimalism meets southern French warmth. Stone walls, parquet floors, tadelakt bathrooms, contemporary furnishings. Design-forward without feeling cold. Each room has its own private entrance.
No TVs anywhere on the property — this is deliberate. Lean into it.
Why It Matters
Curated by Tablet Hotels and listed in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection. One of the few truly adults-only, no-TV maison d'hôtes in the Gard/Provence region with this level of design intention. The pool is private — guests only.
A 19th-century stone maison d'hôtes in a medieval village halfway between Avignon and the Cévennes. Just five rooms plus a 40 m² suite, and a separate 100 m² cottage next door — the whole operation is run by hosts Charles and Laurence, who built the place around one idea: proper rest. Adults only, no TVs, quiet hours from 8pm. The 9×7m heated saltwater pool and the 2,000 m² garden with olive trees and rose bushes do the heavy lifting.
