Profile


 
Magnificient XII century Abbey situated on one of the last strongholds of the Alpilles hills, this romanesque monastery was restored from 1960 to 1970 to reach the standard of a four star hotel.
Its romanesque style with arched vaulting and little windows has been conserved. The rooms originally monks cells have been beautifully arranged and decorated respecting the style of the buildings.
 
The Abbey which overlooks the medieval town of Salon de Provence, dominates the most impressive panorama of the whole of Provence. This peacefull retreat so typically mirrors the harmony and seclusion sought by men of religion. The highest quality "cuisine" of our restaurant is appreciated in all the best catering guides of France.
 
The quality of the food compliments these surroundings; reffined traditional "cuisine" add to this a little taste of Provence, service on the terrace in fine weather. Ideal for a short break 30-40 minutes drive from the tourists areas of Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Les Baux de Provence, Arles and Marseille, yet far from the bustle of daily life, the Abbey offers a unique moment of rest and pleasure.
