La Camargue: Mas de Peint
Hôtel le Mas de Peint in the Camargue (b,l,d; €€€)
This fine 17th Century building is an oasis in the middle of the Camargue. It is actually an up-market farm house whose owner, the renowned 'Manadier' Jacques Bon, also produces the famous Camarguais rice as well raising bulls!
There are 8 sumptuous rooms and 5 suites all elegantly furnished - even the towels are embossed with the name of the Mas - and the room rates reflect the luxury you will enjoy if you stay here. The restaurant is also renowned and has been featured in the magazine Marie Claire as well as Gault-Millau.
Spoil yourself with an essential oil massage or explore the Bon's estate on horseback or at the wheel of a 4x4!
