L'Oustau de Baumaniere restaurant is an incredible experience both for foodies and wine enthusiasts.
Guests stay in farmhouses, some of them dating back to the sixteenth century. With sun splashed facades wreathed with wisteria and wild roses, they are Provençal paradise. The dining room, with its cathedral ceilings and wrought iron chandeliers, is austere, but its diners are animated, its waiters are warm, the wine is rich, and the cuisine is sublime.

A Provençal Estate Beneath Les Baux-de-Provence
Atop a dramatic rocky outcrop, Les Baux-de-Provence ranks among France’s most beautiful villages, its medieval citadel overlooking the extraordinary landscapes of the Alpilles. At the foot of the village, Baumanière occupies a 20-hectare estate where vineyards, olive groves and aromatic scrubland unfold across the rugged terrain of the Alpilles Regional Natural Park. Wild yet deeply peaceful, this celebrated Provençal retreat offers a rare sense of escape, shaped by the region’s natural beauty and relaxed way of life.
Rooms with Individual Character
Baumanière’s accommodation combines authentic Provençal charm with contemporary refinement. Each room and suite has its own character, with carefully chosen antiques and handcrafted decorative pieces reflecting traditional craftsmanship. The result is an atmosphere that feels personal rather than formal, offering a tranquil setting in which to unwind and settle into the slower rhythm of the south of France.
Exceptional Gastronomy
Dining is central to the Baumanière experience, with two restaurants offering distinct expressions of Provençal gastronomy. L’Oustau de Baumanière, awarded three Michelin stars, is the estate’s flagship restaurant, celebrated for its ambitious cuisine and exceptional culinary standards. La Cabro d’Or provides a complementary dining experience, showcasing the flavours of the region in a setting that reflects the estate’s connection to its surroundings.
Spa and Gardens
The Baumanière Spa offers a restorative interlude amid the peaceful landscapes of the Val d’Enfer. Facilities include a hammam, six treatment rooms and a dedicated couples’ cabin, with personalised treatments designed to encourage relaxation and renewal. Across the estate, three swimming pools are nestled among the gardens, providing inviting places to cool off during the warmer months.
Artisan Boutiques and Sweet Indulgences
The estate’s offerings extend beyond accommodation, wellness and dining. On the Place des Artisans, opposite L’Oustau de Baumanière, a boutique and chocolate shop celebrate craftsmanship and culinary indulgence. The space also features the work of ceramicist Cécile Cayrol, whose creations are available to purchase. Together, these details reflect Baumanière’s distinctive character, where fine living, regional traditions and artistic expression come together in one of Provence’s most evocative settings.
