What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The aesthetic is Scandinavian-inspired: rooms are filled with natural light and feature pale wood flooring, minimalist decor, high beamed ceilings, leather chairs, and colorful framed artwork.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Place de la Bouquerie sits steps from the Orbieu river, where villagers swim through July and August.
The rooms
Apartments have high beamed ceilings above pale wood floors, and most open onto private balconies or terraces.
Restaurant
Kitchen Workshop
Guest chefs prepare seasonal tasting menus around a Lacanche range and a communal island beneath stone arches.
How it began
The resident bakers secretly sheltered a Jewish couple inside the building for nearly a year in 1944.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
