The Top 50 Hotels Near Chez Jeannot

  1. A restored military barracks inside the medieval walls of Aigues-Mortes, Les Remparts is a boutique hotel where the exposed stone is thick enough to repel a siege and the freestanding bathtubs suggest you've come in peace. Rooms are individually decorated with bold accents and contemporary furniture, some with fireplaces and views of the 13th-century Tower of Constance. There's an indoor pool, a spa using local Camargue pink salts, and a cocktail bar that opens onto a panoramic terrace.


  2. La Grande-Motte was built from scratch in the 1960s as a modernist Mediterranean utopia, and the pyramid-shaped apartment blocks still raise eyebrows. Hôtel La Plage is the quieter neighbor: a low-lying, geometric luxury beach hotel with floor-to-ceiling glass, natural wood, and private balconies opening onto ocean views. The private beach club, with white umbrellas and a shoreside cocktail bar, makes summer here feel fairly civilized.






  3. The Camargue sits west of Provence and gets overlooked, which suits a small luxury hotel like this just fine. Mas de la Fouque sits at the edge of a nature reserve, ringed by wetlands and a short walk from empty Mediterranean beaches. A pool framed by pine and tamarisk trees is the social center; elsewhere there's a library, a lounge with antique games, a Nuxe spa, and a restaurant. Suites and caravans for those who want the full Camargue immersion.


  4. The thatched cottages here were built for Camargue bull herdsmen, not boutique travelers, and the conversion is the whole point. This reed-fringed wetland retreat outside Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer puts guests in whitewashed cabanes with canal views and design-minded interiors, wild horses grazing nearby and flamingos doing their pink thing in the marsh. There's a pool with a DJ, an equestrian center, and ten acres of raw delta landscape to remind you you're not in Paris.


  5. Art Deco bones, a spa, and rooms ranging from suites to full residences make this Nîmes landmark a serious hotel stay. It sits between the Maison Carrée and the Jardin de la Fontaine, which is almost unfairly well positioned. Hemingway, Picasso, and Ava Gardner were regulars, and the hotel has leaned into that legacy with a bar named after the least glamorous of the three. Pierre Gagnaire's restaurant DUENDE is on site for when the brasserie feels too casual.


  6. Three eco-lodges tucked into the Provençal garrigue outside Nîmes, built entirely from local and sustainable materials and running on solar and heat-pump systems. The carbon footprint is minimal; the comfort is not: Sofitel-grade beds, rain showers, and an acoustic guitar left out in case inspiration strikes. Bien Loin d'Ici means "far from everything," and for once the name does the work.


  7. A grand spiral staircase anchors this boutique hotel inside an opulent mansion a few blocks from Nîmes' Roman amphitheater. The Rouge restaurant gets the dramatics right with scarlet arching walls, while a library lined with jewel-toned sofas and vintage cocktail carts handles the quiet hours. Rooms run to hardwood floors and boldly tiled bathrooms, but the open-air courtyard, plunge pool and all, is where guests tend to linger longest.


  8. A stylist and a photographer own this 14-room boutique hotel in central Nîmes, which explains why every sightline ends on something worth looking at: brocade canopy beds, vintage claw-foot tubs, antiques arranged for intrigue rather than propriety, caged birds. Outside, cloistered Provençal garden, cascading bougainvillea, a marble fountain, and a jade pool. Nîmes runs darker and more cerebral than the rest of Provence, and the hotel leans into that rather than fighting it.








  9. A private mansion tucked into the historic center of Arles, its courtyard so quiet you'd swear the street outside is a rumor. This boutique hotel occupies an old townhouse that's been redecorated in a contemporary style, keeping the romance intact for guests who want history without the museum feel. Rooms are spacious, there's a small spa in the cellar, and breakfast runs considerably more lavish than the word suggests.


  10. Breakfast under the old cloister arches sets the tone: this is a hotel that takes the Provençal pace seriously. A former Carmelite convent dressed up in Roman imperial style, it lands somewhere between monastic quiet and aristocratic fuss, which turns out to be a comfortable place to land. Rooms around the courtyard come with genuine antiques and heavy local fabrics. There's a pool, a dining room that pulls in Arles locals, and very little that's trying to impress you.


  11. A former café that held court for Arlesians for generations, this twelve-suite boutique hotel was rescued and reimagined by two entrepreneurs with good taste and apparent restraint. Rooms mix antiques with Scandinavian pieces, terrazzo floors, Murano lamps, and kimonos instead of the usual sad robes. The street-level restaurant does chalkboard menus and local wine at wooden tables, and breakfast can come to your door or be taken among the regulars below.


  12. Ivy-covered and parked in the middle of actual working ranch land in the Camargue, this farmhouse hotel raises semi-wild long-horned bulls on property and grows the red rice the region is known for. Eight rooms and three suites mix exposed pine beams with soft contemporary colors, the work of a designer in the family. Dinner happens at round tables set inside the kitchen itself, which is either charming or slightly alarming depending on your relationship with open flames.


  13. A converted country residence tucked behind Fontvieille's old walls, La Régalido sits neatly between the stone cliffs of Les Baux-de-Provence and the Van Gogh pilgrimage circuit of Arles. The 15 rooms lean into simple, clean lines with local stone bathrooms and private solariums, and a walled garden holds the pool. The vaulted restaurant runs three sittings a day, and the spa is surprisingly substantial for a hotel this size.


  14. The Cinq Mondes spa, with its sauna, hammam, and pool, is the quiet centerpiece of this small, luxurious Provençal domaine just outside Uzès. Rooms and suites are few but generously proportioned, the bathrooms verging on theatrical, and the grounds spread wide enough to forget other guests exist. A bistronomic restaurant and a lounge round things out for those who surface from the stonework and lavender long enough to eat.



  15. A stone château in the Occitan village of Collias, looking out over the UNESCO-listed Gorges du Gardon, with a history long enough that the 18th-century façade counts as the modern wing. Eight bedrooms sit inside all that layered architecture, fitted out with every comfort you'd expect from a boutique luxury hotel. The estate's park and pool make it easy to stay put, though the Pont du Gard and Uzès are close enough to feel virtuous about visiting.


  16. Stone cloisters from the 1400s, a swimming pool lined in old stone, and a spa inside a greenhouse: the team behind a celebrated Arles hotel brought their aesthetic to the Provençal countryside and the result is boutique accommodation that manages to feel both monastic and quietly indulgent. Heavy antique furnishings, gilded candelabras, and marble bathrooms with fresh lavender sit inside thick walls and curved archways. It's selected in the Michelin Guide.


  17. A classic country-house hotel tucked into seven acres of gardens beneath the ruined Château des Baux-de-Provence, with lavender fields and the Alpilles peaks filling the gaps between olive trees. The rooms are quietly luxurious without shouting about it, the restaurant leans on produce from the property's own gardens, and the pace slows down fast enough that a pétanque game before dinner starts to feel like a reasonable plan.


  18. A low-slung modernist building set among lavender fields in Provence, which is either a contradiction or the point, depending on your mood. This spa hotel was designed by the owners themselves and furnished by Parisian designer Christophe Pillet, whose minimalist suites lean on color and texture over clutter. Three treatment rooms, an indoor pool for water therapies, and a restaurant drawing on local produce keep things self-contained and very calm.


  19. A 17th-century house in the old center of Uzès with nine rooms, each one slightly different from the last the way historic buildings insist on being. Ceilings run improbably tall, the staircase commands attention, and the period bones sit comfortably alongside contemporary interiors. A spa with a Roman bath and hammam is tucked downstairs. The one-Michelin-Key hotel holds a restaurant that earned a Michelin star, which makes it easy to never leave the building.


  20. A rooftop terrace that used to be a watchtower sets the tone at this bed and breakfast on a quiet village square near Uzès, at the foot of the Cévennes. Rooms have names like "Butterfly Dreams" and "Warrior's Rest," and each one mixes old stone walls with modern furniture in a way that manages not to feel contrived. There's a small spa with a rooftop jacuzzi and an infrared sauna. Breakfast is generous, dinner on the terrace happens when the season allows. One Michelin Key.


  21. Ten-century-old ruins anchor the grounds of this 34-room boutique hotel, folded across 18 connected medieval houses in a hilltop village near Pont du Gard. The rooms are whitewashed and surprisingly minimal, with Bose speakers and Clarins products quietly doing the modern heavy lifting. A Clarins spa, a heated outdoor pool, and vineyard views toward Mont Ventoux fill out the picture. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.


  22. A building that's been standing since before anyone had strong opinions about minimalist furniture now houses this boutique hotel beside Uzès's grand neo-Romanesque cathedral. The owners have a habit of rescuing historic structures, and the interiors reward the effort: sleek modernist pieces and mosaic-tile bathrooms sit inside walls that predate them by centuries. A rooftop terrace with wide views and an outdoor pool round things out, with a bar pouring local wines and tapas below.



  23. A small hotel-restaurant in a quiet Gard village a few minutes from the Pont du Gard, where a chef with serious pedigree traded bigger kitchens for something that feels more like a well-run private house. Rooms each have their own character, some with terraces looking out over vineyards and the village church. The kitchen holds a Michelin star without making you feel like you're being evaluated for one.


  24. Tucked between Picpoul vineyards and the Thau Lagoon, this small luxury hotel belongs to the Tarbouriech family, who happen to be the area's most famous oyster farmers. Rooms split between the old manor and its outbuildings are handsome and lively, two on-site restaurants and a lagoon-side oyster bar all feature the family's catch, and the spa uses oysters in treatments that resist any reasonable description. Yes, the spa.


  25. A 17th-century mansion in Van Gogh's old stomping grounds, stripped back by an architect owner to reveal the original stucco beneath layers of paint. This nine-suite boutique hotel holds a Michelin Key, and the math of 24 rooms becoming nine tells you what kind of stay it is: spacious, quiet, and deliberately unhurried. A wood-lined wine bar and a restaurant round things out, with 34 wine appellations within easy reach for anyone keeping count.


  26. A 16th-century bastide tucked into 37 acres of parkland just outside Saint-Rémy, this 19-room luxury hotel is the work of the Fontenille group, whose country properties set a high bar in France. The gardens were designed by the architect's mother, which tells you something about the level of personal investment. No restaurant, but breakfast is served daily, the estate's own wines are poured, and the whole of Saint-Rémy is minutes away when the pool loses its appeal.


  27. White gates on Boulevard Mirabeau open onto a small hotel in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where staying the night after dinner is frankly the sensible option. Rooms are bright and floral, done in cheerful yellows, and the covered terrace is the place to be in summer when aperitifs stretch into the long Provençal evening. The team is happy to point you toward the region if you linger a day or two longer.


  28. A Greco-Roman manor sitting in a forested park just outside Saint-Rémy, this hotel plays the Provençal refinement game with conviction. Monogrammed linens, king beds, private terraces, and suites with plunge pools set the tone, while the grounds offer pétanque, a heated outdoor pool, a spa with a year-round indoor pool, a bistro, and a bar with live music. The complimentary shuttle into the village is a civilized touch.


  29. Rooms at this 26-room hotel look directly onto the Palais des Papes, which is either deeply atmospheric or a constant reminder that the neighbors have better architecture. Hand-printed fabrics line the walls, oak parquet runs underfoot, and the antiques feel lived-in rather than roped off. The restaurant runs cooking classes in a kitchen that looks like a period film set. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.



  30. Six rooms, one cottage, no children, and a pool shaded by olive trees: Après la Sieste is a small adults-only guesthouse just outside Avignon that takes its name seriously. The interiors range from quietly minimal to full Zen-mode, with soaking tubs and Buddha statues for those who lean into it. Day trips to Avignon, Nîmes, and the Cévennes are easy from here, which gives you a convenient excuse for doing absolutely nothing.


  31. Ivy climbs the stone walls of a 14th-century priory that has been a hotel since the mid-20th century, sitting quietly in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon just across the Rhône from Avignon itself. Older rooms inside the priory lean traditional; annex suites trade some of that atmosphere for balconies over the courtyard pool. The restaurant serves regional Provençal food under medieval arches, or outside in summer. A Michelin Key hotel, and a convincing argument for doing absolutely nothing, beautifully.




  32. The largest private garden in Avignon hides behind this five-suite boutique hotel, and it comes with a jacuzzi, a pool, and a spa tucked into a garden folly, which is not what you expect from a place this small. The suites are eclectic and richly colored, each one different, and the salons are hung with hundreds of historical images of Avignon once held by the Papal Palace. Personal service is the whole point at this scale, and the orangery seats private dinners of up to ten.



  33. Rough-hewn stone walls and weathered wooden doors set against breezy contemporary interiors: this boutique hotel at the foot of the Alpilles has clearly thought hard about what Provence should feel like. Lavender and olive groves fill the grounds, a heated pool and small spa do their job quietly, and many rooms come with an outdoor Jacuzzi. The on-site restaurant serves modern French fare under the stars, with a poolside bar for the slower hours.


  34. A 17th-century farmhouse on the Île de la Barthelasse, the sliver of countryside that splits the Rhône just outside Avignon's old walls. This small boutique hotel keeps the period stonework intact while the five rooms lean into a focused, uncluttered modernity. The pool and pétanque court do a lot of heavy lifting on slow afternoons, and the kitchen sends out tapas alongside the house cocktails when you can't face moving far.
