Les Petites Maisons

Les Petites Maisons lives up to its name. This stay is shaped by the distinctive setting of Le Hameau des Baux, in Paradou, at the heart of the Alpilles. The property stands within a former hospice built in 1557, now turned into a characterful address. Old stone, southern light and century-old olive trees give the whole place a clearly Provençal identity.

Choosing Les Petites Maisons means staying on a five-hectare estate where local history remains visible. The surroundings matter as much as the address itself: a village tucked into the Alpilles, preserved countryside, and a natural base for exploring Provence. Dining extends that sense of place, with Mediterranean cooking and regional flavours close at hand. Nearby, Allegria and La Petite Guinguette reflect this local culinary anchor, while Le Bistrot du Paradou continues the area’s food traditions.

This room type suits travellers who look first for a setting rooted in its territory. Provence is not added here as a backdrop. It appears in the history of the building, in the estate’s olive trees, and in the southern light that follows the stay from morning to evening.
