5-star hotel in Aix-en-Provence: an iconic place, Le Pigonnet
Imagine a Provençal country house where time seems to have settled into a permanent summer. Le Pigonnet is more than just a 5-star hotel in Aix-en-Provence: it is a place where the walls tell stories and every stone bears witness to a century of Provençal art de vivre.
An exceptional property in the heart of Provence
A Century of History
Since 1924, Le Pigonnet has cultivated a delightful paradox: being in the heart of Aix-en-Provence while offering the sense of being miles away from the city’s bustle. This former country residence has preserved its soul of yesteryear while embracing the modern comforts expected of a 5-star property.
The great names who once walked these grounds—Cézanne with his easel, Gainsbourg with his legendary nonchalance, Barbara and her velvety voice—each succumbed to the unique charm of the place. Even today, their presence can almost be felt in the gardens where they once loved to stroll.
The Jacques Garcia Signature
When the time came to restore the splendour of this century-old house, all eyes naturally turned to Jacques Garcia. The renowned designer breathed new life into it without erasing the patina of time. The result? Spaces where the 18th century converses seamlessly with the 21st, in perfect harmony.
Exceptional rooms and suites in the heart of Aix-en-Provence
47 Rooms and Suites with a View
Forget standardised hotel rooms. Here, each of the 47 rooms and suites tells its own story. The most recent, designed by Thibault Picard, are true gems where southern light plays hide and seek with sheer curtains. Some open onto private terraces — at sunrise, you’re greeted by nature and the gentle song of cicadas.
Two Private Villas
For those seeking absolute privacy, two villas are tucked away within the estate. Imagine your own Provençal home with a private pool, where 5-star service comes to you at the touch of a button. It’s the Pigonnet experience taken to its highest expression.
Three Culinary Experiences
La Table du Pigonnet
Under the expert hands of Thierry Balligand and Fabien Torrente, locally sourced products are transformed into gustatory symphonies. Whether in the dining room redesigned by Garcia or on the shaded terrace, each meal becomes a celebration of Provençal terroir, creatively reimagined.
The wine cellar? An oenological treasure trove where some of the region’s finest bottles lie in wait. The sommelier will guide you passionately through this maze of flavours.
Open daily for lunch and dinner.
Les Amis
Nomadic by nature, its menu celebrates local flavours and can be enjoyed wherever you please: in the heart of the lush gardens, the cosy atmosphere of the bar, or in the privacy of your room (with a supplement). Upon request, a table can be set wherever you wish at Le Pigonnet, for a truly bespoke experience.
Available daily from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Rose Bar
Yesterday’s cocktails, today’s atmosphere: this characterful bar, designed by Jacques Garcia and named in honour of its former owner, offers an intimate setting ideal for relaxation and discovery.
Open daily from 12 p.m. to midnight (until 1 a.m. in season).
