For ages, Provence has cultivated an immoderate taste for pronounced and refined flavours. Sun-drenched vegetables, olives oil, Herbes de Provence, Camargue rice, truffles and fresh fish served with a glass of chilled wine. The typical dishes of the south hail from a varied and abundant soil and never fail to delight. Even more so when they invite visitors on a unique culinary voyage, filled with surprising associations. Forget about the clichés and enter into the astonishing, colourful and inspired world of Provencal cuisine
Provence lives in pace with Mother Nature and the allure of hot summer evenings… Time ticks by slowly here, in peaceful tranquillity. But Provence is also a bubbling melting pot of culture. From the Avignon Festival to stunning flower parades, Les Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles (international photography festival) and winter’s traditional santon figurine markets, Provence is a vibrant hub in every season, pulsating with powerful, positive energy and enriching exchanges
Carved by the genius of Roman and Christian builders, Provence boasts a time-honoured and exceptional architectural heritage. A playground for the century’s finest architects, the region flaunts its ancient and modern legacy with pride. The Roman Theatre in Orange, Popes’ Palace in Avignon, Mucem in Marseille and Fondation Luma in Arles promise an exciting voyage through the ages, bedecked with majestic, must-see and avant-garde monuments alike. An endless choice of awe-inspiring experiences.
At the heart of the village of Castillon-du-Gard, reflecting history from the Middle Ages and overlooking the Pont du Gard, an exceptional hotel with a modern feel… An authentic building made of local, warm stone throws open its doors to you in a unique setting where serenity is key… With enchanting views, intense sun and singing cicadas and elytras, Le Vieux Castillon is a hidden local gem, unspoilt for the enjoyment of its guests
A small medieval village overlooking the valley of Gardon and its scrub, between vines and cherry trees. Formerly the residence of the Uzès bishop, it was taken over during the religious wars, passing between the hands of Catholics and Protestants like treasure… But now Castillon is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in Gard: its position in two hundred-year old olive groves, its paved, narrow and winding streets, the old ramparts, its mullioned windows, its expressive gargoyles… Plenty to remind us that time has passed and left a wonderfully unique memory.
The hotel is a splendid, authentic location which invites its guests to relax. Push open the door and appreciate the subtle reminders of history which make this hotel a historic marvel dedicated to the French art of living.
With its period tiles and Gard stone staircases, enjoy losing yourself in the world of Le Vieux Castillon… Eighteen medieval homes, linked through time by walkways, massive steps, suspended bridges or shaded patios, hosting 34 rooms and suites which make up the hotel. The colours are found between the walls, in the decoration and surrounding nature, forming a welcoming mix of warm stone and refreshing marble…
Reserved for hotel guests, the open-air swimming pool (heated from May to October) offers an exceptional view over the Gard and Mont Ventoux vineyards. Comfortably settled down while sipping a cocktail, this is the ideal spot to enjoy the fresh air and relax whilst doing nothing at all…
At Le Vieux Castillon, the patio is a magical place. The pleasant scent of fig and the ineffable song of the cicadas cocoons us like a healing chant. Cushions, Berber footstools, a small area for reading or dreaming, the patio reinvented for comforting calm moments is the very heart of Le Vieux Castillon. Breathing in the wonderful aroma of the plants, you will truly understand the dream of life in Provence.

Hospitality is the oldest tradition of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon, which welcomed international visitors from the Middle Ages during their stage to cross the Rhône bridge (today Pont de la Guillotière).
