A sense of the place

Le Prieuré-Baumanière — room — A Classic room at Le Prieuré: a walnut chest of drawers with a green glass lamp and an ochre vase under a botanical print of cockatoos, a lilac velvet chair, taupe curtains, two tall windows with teal shutters, grey armchairs round a black side table, terracotta hexagonal tiles and a yellow knitted throw on the bed; nobody in frame — © Le Prieuré-Baumanière

Le Prieuré-Baumanière — restaurant — A dish from Le Prieuré's restaurant served outdoors on a rock: a ravioli in a pool of green herb oil and dark jus with pink petals, chervil and sesame on a wide white plate, and a cucumber-ribbon tartlet with nasturtium leaves beside it — © Le Prieuré-Baumanière

Le Prieuré-Baumanière — garden — A stone colonnade in the garden of Le Prieuré in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon: square limestone pillars with moulded panels along a shaded paved walk, sunlight falling through wisteria and vines, a bed of yucca, ferns and shrubs between the pillars and an old stone wall behind; nobody in frame — © Le Prieuré-Baumanière

Le Prieuré-Baumanière — lobby — A salon of Le Prieuré: a linen sofa with cushions before a tall window onto the pale trunk of a plane tree, curtains with a black lattice pattern, a vase of dried flowers and an open book on a low wooden table, a cycad in a stone planter, an oval iron étagère with a brass lamp, ochre walls with white wainscoting and terracotta tiles; nobody in frame — © Le Prieuré-Baumanière

Why it's in the collection

Because a priory of 1322 across the Rhône from the popes' palace has been a hotel since the Mille family bought it in 1943 and is now run by Baumanière – thirty-seven rooms, a garden pool, a starred dining room under medieval arches – and the house holds four-star standing.

A priory of 1322 in the village of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, across the Rhône from the Palais des Papes; a hotel since the Mille family bought it in 1943, run by Baumanière; a Relais & Châteaux house.
37 rooms; a garden pool, a bistro and the MICHELIN-starred dining room under the medieval arches.
One MICHELIN Key in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.

Avignon & Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

The walled city of the popes and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon across the Rhône hold two of the fourteen hotels. On the left bank are the Palais des Papes, the Pont d'Avignon, the Place de l'Horloge and the festival that fills the streets in July; across the river, Villeneuve keeps the Fort Saint-André and the Chartreuse.
