A stone’s throw from Avignon, Le Prieur\u00e9 Baumani\u00e8re cultivates a rare elegance, between monastic serenity and gastronomic refinement. Nestled in a former 14th-century convent, this Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux hotel combines history, hospitality and Michelin-starred cuisine in the heart of a fragrant garden. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A house of character and timeless charm<\/h2>\n\n

Located in Villeneuve-l\u00e8s-Avignon, in a village steeped in history opposite the City of the Popes, Le Prieur\u00e9 Baumani\u00e8re<\/strong> is in the tradition of the great houses of the soul. Behind its discreet facade backing onto the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, this five-star Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux<\/strong> seduces with its shady priest’s garden, wisteria trellises and timeless atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n

Bought in 2007 by Genevi\u00e8ve and Jean-Andr\u00e9 Charial<\/strong>, emblematic figures of French art de vivre, the establishment has been tastefully and delicately redesigned. The 36 rooms and suites<\/strong>, spread over three buildings, blend old-world charm with contemporary touches in a luminous palette. Every space, from the lounges to the terraces, cultivates a form of elegant simplicity, far removed from ostentatious luxury. <\/p>\n\n

The Baumani\u00e8re spirit, between demanding standards and conviviality<\/h2>\n\n

Managed by Alexandre Favier<\/strong>, a close associate of Jean-Andr\u00e9 Charial, Le Prieur\u00e9 perpetuates the spirit of Baumani\u00e8re Les Baux-de-Provence<\/strong>, where a personalized welcome and human warmth are at the heart of the experience. In high season, a 55-strong team ensures the comfort of guests, in an atmosphere of joyful serenity, imbued with benevolence. <\/p>\n\n

The hotel’s boutique, like the rest of the hotel, showcases local craftsmanship and know-how: olive oils, natural cosmetics, tableware and exclusive products such as “L’Affectif”, Monsieur Charial’s wine. A resolutely locavore approach, in keeping with the house’s ethical commitment. <\/p>\n\n

Christophe Chiavola’s sensitive gastronomy<\/h2>\n\n

Since 2023, Chef Christophe Chiavola<\/strong> has been breathing new culinary life into Le Prieur\u00e9. A native of Savoie, his cuisine is instinctive<\/strong>, seasonal, sincere and uncluttered, inspired by local Mediterranean produce. His Michelin-starred table invites you to discover floral, iodized and sometimes tangy flavors<\/strong>, in a spirit of controlled creativity. <\/p>\n\n
