About About the place

The Pavillon de Vendome is a 17th-century villa commissioned by Louis, Duke of Vendôme, as a secluded retreat. Originally intended as a romantic hideaway, the building has served various purposes over the centuries and now functions as a cultural space hosting temporary exhibitions. The Pavillon is particularly admired for its meticulously maintained gardens, offering a peaceful oasis in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. While the interior spaces are relatively small, they showcase period details and contemporary art displays.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!
