Around Us

The Art of Slow Living

Bordered by the Rhône, Avignon is a medieval city that captivates with its rich heritage, history, and culture. It is also the gateway to Provence, where you can explore the hilltop villages of the Luberon, the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and vibrant local markets.

Avignon and its surroundings embody a unique art de vivre, an invitation to travel differently, at a slower, more mindful pace.

Guestbook

One of the finest places we have stayed at in all of Europe. Unique. The most accommodating hosts!

“Unique !”
J&D-US- April 25-Booking

We had a great stay and enjoyed our beautiful room very much. I can’t say enough thank you to the wonderful host Olivier. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked with us every day. We had awesome meals in Avignon’s restaurants he recommended. Fresh croissants for breakfast, beautiful garden and much more.

“10 out of 10 !”
O&T-US- April 25-Direct

Exquisite decor, every last detail is taken into account. The room was lovingly adorned. It felt more like staying at a friend’s house than a hotel. The garden was beautiful. The breakfast was simple but perfectly sufficient. The owners of the hotel was welcoming, caring and a great source of information. An amazing place to stay.

“Good location, quiet and extremely cozy”
M&0-Germany-May24-Booking

Historical house, lovely garden, spacious comfortable rooms. One memorable touch: when the cold wind of the mistral rose up unexpectedly (by us), Olivier offered to lend one his sweaters. Our stay chez Olivier et Laurence helped to turn a pleasant weekend in Avignon into a cherished memory. Thank you.

“Super hosts “
Pamela & Edward – Canada – Tripadvisor 2023

"We stayed for 3 wonderful nights. Walkable from train station and close to tourist office but very quiet and private feeling. You can walk easily to all major attractions. Lots of cafes and shopping just around the corner. Olivier and Lauren are very gracious hosts. Always available to help but very respectful of guests privacy. The gardens are just lovely and available to sit in at anytime. Comfortable bed, great shower

“Gorgeous oasis in Avignon”
Kathleen – Sept 22- USA

"Thank you Olivier and Laurence for the perfect stay in your beautiful home. It’s obvious that you enjoy showing guests the very best way to enjoy your special city. We especially enjoyed our Babylon Suite and the garden with the pool! (and of course your cat too)! The perfect start of our two week vacation in France. You helped us immediately slow down, relax and enjoy your amazing country!cluded. Open your windows in the morning and let in the garden's fragrances, have breakfast under the veranda, slip into the pool, and bask in the sun before setting out to explore Avignon. A blissful escape!"

"Wow quel endroit merveilleux ! C'est agréable de séjourner dans un bel endroit mais surtout lorsque tu es bien accueilli ! Olivier et Laurence ont surpassé mes attentes et je recommande fortement cet endroit... Je ne laisse pas des commentaires à tous les endroits où je passe, il faut vraiment me conquérir pour recevoir mes mots et les Jardins de Baracane ont très bien su comment conquérir mon cœur.♥️ Je vous remercie sincèrement vous deux et je vous dis à très bientôt. Merci pour tout. 🙏"
