Château de La Messardière is widely known as one of Saint-Tropez’s most exclusive addresses. Transformed into a luxury resort, it majestically surveys the Bay of Pampelonne.

On the hills of Saint-Tropez, an historic property stands in the midst of an estate of pinewoods and gardens: Château de La Messardière. Built in the 19th century, the castle was a wedding present for Henri Brisson de la Messardière, an officer and excellent horse-rider, and Louise Dupuy D’Angeac, a young artist and musician. In 1904, the family residence was transformed into an hotel, becoming an iconic place to stay in Saint-Tropez in the Roaring ‘Twenties. The spirit of Château, now entirely redesigned as a resort, remains unchanged.

A short walk from the Place des Lices, Pan Deï Palais is a privileged oasis for everyone wishing to stay at the heart of Saint-Tropez in all peace and quiet.

A real love story hides behind the walls of Pan Deï Palais. In 1835, General Allard, a native of the area, presented it to his sweetheart, Indian Princess Bannu Pan Deï, as a testimonial to his love. Today, this residence steeped in history has lost none of its charm and is now an insider address at the heart of the legendary village of Saint-Tropez. With its Mediterranean garden and sumptuous pool, Pan Deï Palais is the ideal setting in which to restore your energy beneath the sun. Extremely intimate, the hotel only offers 12 Rooms and Suites, all with refined decor. Among them, a real gem: the Suite Shanti enjoying a breathtaking panoramic view of the town’s rooftops from its private terrace.

A true Provencal gem, La Bastide looks out over the historic village of Gordes, which is found in one of the most beautiful regions of France – the Luberon. From its cliff-top, the house sits between the earth and the horizon, looking out over the landscape below. The house has large terraces designed for guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Luberon. Look past the dry-stone walls to the century-old olive trees and the majestic cypress trees.

Renowned for its magnificent landscapes, the Luberon provides a natural backcloth ideal for holidays with the accent on rest. Nestling on a cliff overlooking one of France’s loveliest villages, La Bastide invites you to incomparable escapism. With period furniture, its 34 elegant Rooms and 6 Suites are an ode to Provence. Just like La Maison de Constance, an authentic villa amidst laurels and olive-trees, giving access to the village’s secrets to delight guests in search of rare intimacy.

Snow is falling in the Alps, and with the arrival of winter come thoughts of unforgettable ski holidays. At the foot of the pistes in Val d’Isère and between the snow-laden pine trees of Courchevel, the Airelles hotels offer exceptional new experiences every season. From the new Chalets des Airelles to the LOULOU restaurant in Val d’Isère, here’s a round of the what’s new at Airelles this year that you won’t want to miss !

From December 10, Les Airelles, the iconic Courchevel Palace Hotel is getting bigger, offering its guests a new group of refined and luxurious hotel chalets. Made up of 19 rooms, the Chalets allow you to enjoy Courchevel in total privacy. Just a few steps from the hotel, the three chalets are dedicated to offering guests a sublime stay with attentive and bespoke service.

There’ll be a party atmosphere in Saint-Tropez during the 23rd ‘Voiles de Saint-Tropez’ festival. For two weeks, the iconic village steps back in time to welcome 250 of the best sailors from around the world. It’s a unique event originally borne of two sailors challenging each other.

The story began in 1981 when Dick Jayson and his Swan 44 arrived at Saint Tropez’s port – a fashionable place welcoming celebrities from all over the world – and Jean Laurain challenged him to a race. The next day, they left from the foot of the Portalet Tower at Saint-Tropez.

From this, the Niourlague Race was born and ran for many years until, in 1999, it became the ‘Voiles de Saint-Tropez’ under the auspices of the Saint-Tropez Nautical Society.

The end of the season has arrived, and with it brings the Indian summer. As it settles in, join us as we explore the new flavours and ingredients that it has to offer. ​In Provence, soak up the last of the summer sun before winter creeps in, whilst in Gordes to Saint-Tropez via Les Baux-de-Provence, stretch out time spent on the terraces and plan those final dips in the pool.

Château d’Estoublon situated in the heart of the Alpilles is one of the great estates of Baux-de-Provence. The property is an 18 hectares vineyard where Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Mourvedre, Roussane and Marsanne are cultivated, while 12O hectares of olive trees surround the Château.

The grapes and olives are cultivated using methods that respect organic agriculture, closely following a manual process free from chemicals. Alongside the impressive collection of wines and olive oils, you can discover La Table d’Estoublon, an exquisite restaurant hidden in the estate. Originally from Antwerp, the Chef Win Van Gorp blends local Provencal classics with flavours from further afield, resulting in irresistible recipes. Paired with an impressive selection of red, white and rosé wines, dining at La Table d’Estoublon is an experience not to be missed.

Bringing together both the chicness of the Riviera and the relaxing atmosphere of the Mediterranean are a range of travel experiences in the oldest fishing village on the Côte d’Azur. Sip a cocktail by the sea, have a romantic dinner in a secret garden, a shady lunch in the colourful village streets or spend an afternoon with your feet in the water… There are so many simple pleasures to be had. And to make the most of summer, Airelles is sharing its top Saint Tropez tips. What do you feel like doing ?

The light of Saint-Tropez is particularly beautiful in the morning, and there is nowhere better to admire it than at the Chateau de la Messardiere. Take in the beautiful panorama while gazing out to the horizon and diving into the clear waters of the pool. Perfectly placed between the sky and sea, this family estate throws open its doors this summer, and is as lovely to look at as the prestigious residences of the Riviera were in the 1920s. Surrounded by greenery, this is the ideal spot to relax in.

Perched on the southern slopes of the Alpilles mountain range in the heart of Provence, sits the Château d’Estoublon. It is imbued with the heritage, and even some physical markers, of the Roman empire, which is the pride of the region. Halfway between Arles and Avignon, the Estoublon estate and its 18th century Chateau are nestled in this magnificent landscape, one that has inspired numerous painters and writers over the years. It is this rugged scenery that has been the backdrop to many of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous paintings. And in the midst of all this history is Château d’Estoublon, which has been a working estate since 1731, making olive oils and exceptional wines.

Found between Provence’s Maussane and Fontvieille, and renowned for its outstanding wines and for its collection of olive oils, the Château d’Estoublon provides a masterclass in the Provencal art of living. Emblematic of the South of France, these two local products are made entirely organically. Grapes and olives are grown, cultivated and bottled on the estate, using a manual and mechanical manufacturing processes, without any chemical intervention. From the moment the fruit is picked, until the day the products go on sale, each step is overseen by the Estoublon team. Our technical prowess and reputation were solidified at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, where we won first prize.
