What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
housed in an eye-catching 1980s-era residence surrounded by lush gardens, was renovated using mostly existing and recycled materials.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The quiet streets of residential Carnot border Le Cannet, comfortably removed from the bustle of the Croisette.
The rooms
Suites open onto private balconies with vintage mini-fridges, leaving out televisions in favor of wooden ceiling fans.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An 11-meter heated pool sits in the gardens, lined with a timber sun deck and striped yellow loungers.
At the table
Timber tables and terracotta plates fill the dining room, where the open kitchen prepares certified organic Provençal cooking.
How it began
Cyril Aouizerate converted this 1980s residential block in 2024, salvaging existing building materials to keep construction waste to a minimum.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

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

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
