estling in the shade of a delightful village in Provence amidst age-old olive trees and lavender bushes this bastide has become the favourite residence of Alain Ducasse.

"In 1994, while riding my motorcycle at random on the roads of Provence, I discovered a house standing amidst lavender and olive trees. I made it my anchoring harbour, my home, before deciding to open it to others. It has always had this very special place in my heart, and it still has today… " - Alain Ducasse

La Bastide de Moustiers is a house full of charm situated at the heart of the Alpes de Haute Provence region. Former property of an earthenware master, it offers a splendid view on Moustiers-Sainte-Marie "cliff". The main building was restored by local artisans. Alain Ducasse asked designer friend Tonia Peyrot to give the building the special feel that makes it so endearing.

A few rooms of luxurious simplicity precise and generous cuisine featuring products from the kitchen garden. A massage a nap beside the pool a trip in a hot-air balloon a game of petanque. Thats one definition of happiness.

From the terrace shaded by plane trees and surrounded by olive groves with views over the valley, to the various themed lounges designed to provide cosy settings, all the areas of the Bastide de Moustiers are open onto the magnificent garden and are devoted to tranquillity and taste.

The chef's beloved establishment has gradually seen the addition of 11 rooms and 2 suites. Elegant and cosy, they are laid out in the main building and in separate pavilions, that welcome visitors with great generosity. In this auberge in Provence, with the atmosphere of a family holiday home, each object has meaning and tells a story. The chef has selected cherished furniture and objects that he has brought back from his many travels. He has entrusted the keys to this haven of peace to a team of loyal employees devoted to ensuring that you enjoy many moments of great joy during a truly unique stay in this luxury hotel in the Verdon Gorges.
