The Hôtel Le Pigonnet

A Century-old house 

An iconic garden and a fresh look at Provençal living 

 Just a few steps from the famous Cours Mirabeau, in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, Le Pigonnet feels like a typical Provençal village, offering inspiring moments, gourmet rendezvous, and well-being experiences. This 18th-century bastide, originally designed as a "Folie" – from the Latin folia (leaf), meaning a country house surrounded by lush gardens – stands out for its French-style gardens and fountains, which have made it renowned. Today, it celebrates its centenary with a wave of renewal and new offerings. 

Jacques Garcia has reimagined the décor of the reception area, bar, and La Table du Pigonnet, infusing new elegance into these iconic spaces. A new experience, Les Amis, invites you to savor Provence with conviviality, whether in the gardens, at the bar, or in your room, with a nomadic menu dedicated to local flavors. 

This new concept pays tribute to all those who have given life to this century-old house, whether through writing, composing music, painting, or celebrating milestones such as anniversaries, engagements, and other important life moments. Under the shade of the parasol pines, French and international artists like Barbara, César, Clint Eastwood, Juliette Gréco, and Serge Gainsbourg found their escape from everyday life. Legend has it that Paul Cézanne even set up his easel here, facing one of his favorite subjects, the Montagne Sainte-Victoire. 

Among its 55 rooms, including two villas, three exceptional suites have been created. Each opens onto a private terrace, offering a preserved, verdant outdoor space. Le Pigonnet also offers numerous privatizable spaces and tailored activities, making it the ideal setting for events with up to 250 guests. 

In spring 2025, a new 350m² spa, Folie Verte, will celebrate the gardens and poetry of Le Pigonnet through a holistic wellness offering, including body treatments, HydraFacial, and even singing and art therapy courses. 

From iconic offerings like La Table du Pigonnet, a semi-gastronomic restaurant, to new experiences, this hotel continues to write its story and redefine the art of Provençal living.
