About Le Pigonnet
Le Pigonnet is an idyllic 18th century country house surrounded by glorious gardens just minutes from the city walls of Aix-en-Provence. Set in tranquil gardens with beautiful flowers, age-old trees and stunning fountains, it provides a peaceful refuge. The atmosphere here is tranquil and distinctly homely with a crackling fire in winter and the sound of cicadas on the terraces in summer. The elegant rooms are Provencal in style peppered with Italian and French objets d arts. Spend the afternoon lazing on a rattan chair beside the pool or reading a book in a shady corner of the garden. Later, wander into Aix with its myriad of fountains and boutiques, then sit with a drink as you people watch at the famous Les Deux Garcons on Cours Mirabeau, before returning for gourmet nouvelle cuisine.
Le Pigonnet is located in a residential quarter, very quiet,half a mile from the very heart of Aix en Provence, 10-minute walk or 3-minute drive. Le Pigonnet is surrounded by a magnificent private flowered Park 1 HA, from which painter Cezanne painted the famous MOUNT SAINT VICTOIRE.
