Château de la Gaude

A timeless place in the heart of the vineyards, with a view overlooking the Sainte Victoire.

The 17 rooms and suites with a refined and modern style are an idyllic setting. The charm of the location is accentuated in the parquet floors, custom-made furniture, fireplaces, ceiling moldings, large wooden doors and small staircases. The château is an oasis of peaceful beauty and a soothing escape. L3 has exclusive use of the property. Only the restaurants will have outside guests. 

Les Roches Blanches

Built in 1887 by the sea, this former mansion takes its name from the limestone rocks that line the coastline from Cassis to Marseille. Located after the marina, it enjoys a unique location, between the village and the Calanques, with a breathtaking view of the majestic cliff of Cap Canaille. It was not until the early 1920s that the property was transformed into a hotel and opened to the public where Winston Churchill, and later Edith Piaf, stayed there.

This elegant but small hotel has a variety of room types. You will be able to select your room type at registration. Availability is first-come, first-served.
