A discrete and verdant haven of peace
in the heart of Aix-en-Provence

Between tradition and contemporary art of living, Le Pigonnet is a privileged starting point to discover Provence. It is also a destination in itself. Let yourself be lulled by the rustle of its fountains, and walk in the footsteps of Paul Cézanne. In its park with its many green rooms, there is no need to go far to escape.
Events
Aix-en-Provence's Secret Garden
Le Pigonnet cultivates discretion just a few minutes walk away from the city centre. The Hotel gradually appears while going up the Plane tree-lined alley, which will feel like going back to another age. The charms of mullioned windows evoking the 18th century foundations, the partially leaf-covered façade and the green shutters are simply timeless. The secret garden is our treasure and its history is linked to the early 20th century thermal bath revival in the region. The Swellen family bought the house in 1924 and for three generations they focused on streamlining its outstanding character, which Esprit de France's family collection perpetuates today. The Pigonnet's cuisine has also made it highly attractive and popular with locals and tourists from all over the world, particulary during events. The combination of traditions and modern art-de-vivre make it a perfect starting point to explore the south of France.

A cultural capital since Roman times, the city puts on an International Lyric Art Festival every summer with some of the biggest performers.
