History

Although it's unfortunate that Hôtel La Grande Bastide's history is lost to time, aside from it being built in the 18th century, we can still find much of its original charm in a well-preserved state. As a bastide, the home was likely the provincial house of a member of high society.

Design and Architecture

The hotel's owners value the former bastide's heritage, integrating classical features even after renovating the many spaces and rooms. For its exterior, it retained the bright pastel walls and terracotta roofs common in Provence. This aesthetic sense continues into the interior areas, where walls are also painted in soft yet vivid pastel tones. Some rooms still have exposed timbers for supporting the structure, and even if these weren't the original ones, they retain the spirit and tradition of the original architecture.

When it comes to decor, the choice of soft pastel colors is maintained, along with choosing lightly colored wood for furniture such as tables or chairs. For fabrics such as bedding and curtains, the colors have a more woodland theme, using earthy and leafy shades.

Events and Experiences

Saint-Paul-de-Vence and its surrounding communes offer diverse experiences and attractions that deserve spots on your itinerary. The mountains around Saint-Paul-de-Vence have trails for hiking and biking, suitable for trekkers of various skill levels. The Azure Coast is also rich with wildlife, so birdwatchers may also want to bring their binoculars or camera and do some birdspotting. Other options include horseback riding and canoeing, which can be arranged via the concierge.

Meanwhile, the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer is known as the hometown of Auguste Escoffier and of Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Escoffier is regarded as the father of modern French cuisine, revolutionizing the culinary system for the 20th century. Renoir, on the other hand, is a pioneering artist in the Impressionist movement in traditional painting. Both of their homes have since been turned into museums commemorating their contributions to mankind.
