Hôtel Gounod – A charming hotel near Eygalières
Just a few minutes from Eygalières, a charming hilltop village in the heart of the Alpilles, our hotel welcomes you to a peaceful setting steeped in history. Tucked away in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, another gem of the region, our hotel allows you to fully enjoy the beauty and cultural richness of Provence whilst staying in a unique and inspiring setting.
Housed in a former 18th-century coaching inn, the hotel has successfully preserved the charm of that era whilst offering the modern comforts expected for an unforgettable stay. The history of the place is intertwined with that of Charles Gounod, the famous composer of the ‘Ave Maria’, who stayed here in 1863 to compose his opera Mireille. This illustrious history lends the establishment a unique atmosphere, blending heritage and elegance.
