Le Saint-James Bouliac

A unique experience!

Be surprised. Everything you think you know about hotels vanishes into thin air as soon as you step through the door. Starting with the bar, which is home to some great design classics: chairs and sofas by Verner Panton and Charles Eames....Not forgetting the stunning Bergère Louise Crusoé chair, designed by Bleu-Nature, like a nest perched in the trees. When it comes to the rooms, the famous architect Jean Nouvel chose to highlight white, a symbol of purity and simplicity. The windows are stripped down, adorned only by the views they offer of nature. The bed treats you to a breathtaking spectacle. And for good reason: they change height from one room to the next, offering you uninterrupted views out over the vines once you lie down. Sleeping at the Saint-James is quite an experience!

An insight into food culture

As soon as it opened, the Saint-James began to focus on culture, arts, architecture and design. With the choice of Jean Nouvel as its architect, of course. But also by commissioning the sculptor César to inaugurate the first sixteen 100-square-metre plots of vines planted on the hotel’s grounds in 1989. Then, over the years, the gallery that links the 18th-century farmhouse to the pavilions has been transformed and converted into a space dedicated to the arts. Multiple exhibitions of paintings, sculptures and photographs are held here every year.
