Plan your visit to the restaurant L'Oustau de Baumanière

"I invite you to discover the organic vegetable patch of Baumanière les Baux de Provence with a nutritionist, who will reveal to you the treasures of our land and invite you to taste a selection of local organic produce.
You can take the experience one step further with my "Vegetable Menu", which features certain products grown in my organic vegetable garden, and by visiting the Moulin du Castellas, a Les Baux Valley olive oil mill near the hotel run by a friend of ours."

Discover the flavours of Provence

"Wine has a predominant place in the history of Baumanière. Thanks to the passion my grandfather developed for wine over the years, and which I inherited, we are proud to have a collection of over 50,000 bottles. I invite you to share my passion for vineyards and discover the L’Affectif rosé and red wines that I created in collaboration with the Domaine de Lauzières winery, as well as the L’Invitation white and rosé wines created with the Domain de Fontchêne. In order to prolong these pleasures of the terroir, you will also be able to discover the Moulin de Castelas oil mill, our friendly producer of olive oil in the Valley of Baux, which is located near the hotel. ”

A story of cooking, a story of men.

In 2015, I asked Glenn Viel to join me as head of the kitchens at the Oustau de Baumanière. First and foremost, it was his cooking that captivated me. True and simple, it respects local products from the terroir. It's also unpretentious, which is how I perceive my own cooking to be. A kitchen in which superfluous frills don't hide the essentials. He brings youth and creativity to the table while preserving the traditional spirit of Baumanière. I also like the man. He possesses a simple straightforward character, with no fuss or pretenses. He is from Brittany, which may explain this.

L'Oustau de Baumanière Restaurant

As the son of a fisherman, I admit to having a preference for fish, which I enjoy pairing with flavors taken from the land. I blend soft, chewy and crunchy textures, I pair the sweet with the tangy, I cook with jubilation, free from fear and pretension.
My food is hearty and authentic, inspired by the Alpilles region awash with different Provencal olive oils for which I've even curated a tasting menu.

Spa Baumanière

Honey, organic vegetables and olive oil produced on site... in the heart of the Alpilles, an property that is taking a gamble on "ultra local" cuisine.

Here, choosing to live organically is a philosophy, a way of life. This traditional establishment in the heart of the Alpilles even produces its own honey. The vegetable garden (classed as Ecocert organic), provides the kitchens with fresh, seasonal vegetables. The rest is sourced from neighbouring sustainable farms. On the hob,  Baux de Provence olive oils by Monsieur Charial are on display. The aim? Ultra local food. And to help the staff to live nearby, reducing travel and thereby cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the property also offers 53 affordable residencies.

As a result of the merger of La Cabro d’Or and L’Oustau de Baumanière, Baumanière has become the epitome of Mediterranean art of living in a magical place. Appreciated by personalities from the political and the media world, this domain was founded by Raymond Thuillier, the "historical monument" of French gastronomy according to Gault et Millau. In 1969, Jean-André Charial took over from his grandfather as the head Chef, a position he held with maestria until today. This respected Chef is now no longer in the kitchens but managing the domaine.  Baumanière remains a unique place, nestled in the Baux-de-Provence rocky outcrops. It encompasses five buildings surrounded by Mediterranean gardens: the L’Oustau, the historical main house, La Maison de Famille, a Provençal farmhouse, the 18th-century manor, and finally Carita and Flora, two country abodes. There are also two gourmet restaurants, the Oustau de Baumanière—an institution where you can appreciate the refined, subtle, and creative cuisine of the chef—and La Cabro d'Or, a Provencal restaurant. The estate also has a spa, three outdoor pools, and a tennis court.
