La Ferme Chapouton
Restored Provençal farmhouse meets contemporary design. Stone walls, antique floors, and a fireplace dining room on one hand; clean-lined rooms, walk-in showers, and a mirror-edge pool on the other. Low-key, genuine hospitality — no posturing.
Ask for a room with a direct view of the Château de Grignan — not all rooms face that direction
Why It Matters
Michelin Bib Gourmand bistro open daily at very reasonable prices (€34.50–€41.50 for a full menu), direct views of the Château de Grignan and Mont Ventoux, and a short stroll to the sister property with a 1-star Michelin gastronomic restaurant. The building itself is historically significant — converted from a working 18th-century farm and previously used as a retreat by Baron Nicolas de Staël.
A 1760 farmhouse on the edge of Grignan, once the holiday home of Franco-Russian painter Baron Nicolas de Staël, now a 4-star boutique hotel and Michelin Bib Gourmand bistro. Part of the Les Maisons du Clair de la Plume collection — sister property to Le Clair de la Plume, whose 1-Michelin-star restaurant sits a short walk uphill in the village. La Ferme Chapouton is the first thing you see arriving into Grignan, and from your room you're staring directly at the Renaissance château. Thirteen contemporary rooms, a heated pool, gardens, and a bistro open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
