Leisure in Provence

Here, time is measured in the scent of olive oil,
in the sparkle of rosé and in the golden dust
raised on the paths of the Sainte-Victoire.
Every moment beyond the walls becomes a promise to savour.

To discover...

Rose & Marius Workshop

Just five hundred metres from Villa Gallici, the house of Rose & Marius crafts exceptional fine fragrances in Aix-en-Provence, whose creations already watch over you in the privacy of the hotel's bathrooms. During a workshop, come and compose your own signature scent: a perfume, diffuser or candle, blended note by note from a palette of carefully chosen fragrances. Each bottle leaves with its secret formula, a precious key that will let you recreate its exact harmony long after your stay.

Sidecar Ride

Helmet on and the Provençal breeze on your face, climb aboard a vintage sidecar for a tour of the countryside around Aix, between the steep slopes of the Sainte-Victoire and the light of the Luberon. From two hours to a full day, the route unfolds at your own pace, with carefully chosen stops at wine estates along the way to taste the very best that the Provençal land has to offer.

Vintage Car Tour

Take the wheel of a classic car, delivered to and collected from the hotel, for an escape of your own through the sumptuous landscapes surrounding Aix-en-Provence. Winding roads towards the Sainte-Victoire, the shifting light of the Luberon: our concierge team designs a bespoke itinerary for you, punctuated by carefully chosen stops, for a drive as elegant as the scenery around it.

Picnic in the Heart of Nature

A lunch or dinner laid out in the heart of the landscape, the table set with all the refinement of fine service, amid a lavender field, at a breathtaking viewpoint or in the calanques of Cassis: the art of the picnic reinvented. All the produce is local, grown and then prepared in-house by our partner, for unrivalled freshness. The experience lends itself just as well to a sunset on a wine estate as to an unforgettable marriage proposal, and is also available as a basket-only option, which can be combined, why not, with a classic car tour.

Exclusive Visit to an Olive Oil Estate

Hidden in the secluded heart of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire lies an exceptional estate, open to only a privileged few. Here you wander among centuries-old, sometimes thousand-year-old olive trees, before discovering an olive oil of rare finesse, produced on site, to be tasted alongside grand cru oils from around the world. For thrill-seekers, the estate tour can also be enjoyed aboard a vintage 4x4, blending olive-growing tradition with a spirit of adventure.
