An exceptional bastide
The bastide is a majestic building, placed between the earth and the sky, with a prestigious elegance that makes it stand out. It was the last home of Bernard Buffet and a tremendous source of inspiration for the painter. In the shade of the chestnut trees, its ochre façade with bright touches provided by sky blue shutters, its stone inner courtyard and its windows that look out onto nature are an ode to Provence. Inside, the walls are adorned with the warm colours of the South, orange, emerald green, electric blue, creating the stage for a very fine collection of antique furniture. Each of the lounge areas is cosier and more delightful than the previous one, offering endless invitations to daydream a little, curl up with a book in an armchair by the fireplace, engage in animated, passionate discussions over a Provençal aperitif... One could almost forget about the shady terraces that afford panoramic views of the verdant Provençal surroundings.

Delight in the flavours of ProvenceThis exceptional domain deserves exceptional cuisine. And according to François Martin, the Chef at the Domaine de la Baume, exceptional cuisine comes above all from selecting produce that is... exceptional!
François Martin enjoys being creative and working to obtain complete harmony between a vegetable, a type of meat or fish, a spice and a sauce using the jus plus a reduction of the cooking juices. He lovingly selects each ingredient to showcase one element of the dish, a dish of exceptional flavour, A method on which he places no limits, resulting in simple, delectable and delicious dishes of great finesse.
The sweet selection also brings flavours to the fore... Elodie Martin, Head Pastry Chef, takes pride in showcasing superbly sweet, juicy fruit from the South of France. Apricots, peaches, figs, lemons, all chosen in the orchards around Tourtour or in the local area. The olive oil takes on a fondant quality in a sorbet or crunchy texture in a macaroon. A gourmet getaway awaits you at Domaine de la Baume! - Bars & Lounges:
- Lounges
The baroque armchairs, and plush banquettes take their place alongside the delicately painted antique furniture. The deep colors of the Kilim rugs punctuate the geometric patterns of the artisanal tile. Decor here is done with an astute attention to detail, each item curated by Joceylne Sibuet. Be taken away by these sitting rooms that encourage relaxation and let your mind wander to far off lands…
