April 24, 2023 Pauline

From the French Riviera to Paris, including Alsace, the Dordogne, and Provence, here is our selection of charming addresses for a romantic weekend to book now for spring and the warmer days.

 

Crillon le Brave Hotel

The place a Crillon-le-Brave, Exactly. This adorable village perched on the Vaucluse hills is a true balcony offering some of Provence's most beautiful panoramas. Before your eyes, Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail... an ideal setting for a Romantic weekend getaway idea !

The Hotel The hotel, fully integrated into the village, comprises nine houses built between the 17th and 18th centuries. Dry stone walls, Genoise tiles, and slate-blue shutters, they blend harmoniously into the general architecture of Crillon-le-Brave. Recently taken over by the Maison Pariente collection, the hotel and its 34 rooms and suites have benefited from elegant decor signed by Charles Zana. Everything here invites contemplation. From the large heated terrace pool overlooking the vineyard or from the tables of the two restaurants where Adrien Brunet serves typically Provençal cuisine. The gastronomic restaurant, La Madeleine, is the ideal place for a romantic dinner.

We like the pretty, intimate spa nestled under the arches of the old stables and the range of Tata Harper treatments offered there.

The little something extra : activities available to guests. Yoga retreats, meditation classes, hiking... with a view of the Mount Ventoux.

Hôtel de la Ponche Saint-Tropez

The place Right in the heart of town, beneath the walls of the Citadel of Saint-Tropez and two minutes from the port. Undoubtedly one of the best locations to enjoy the atmosphere of the most famous Var village for two, in any season.

The Hotel It's certainly the Hôtel de Saint-Tropez the most legendary. In any case, the one that saw the small fishing village transform into a mecca for the international jet set. Opened in the 1930s, La Ponche gradually became a hotel where, in the 1960s, the entire world of cinema and literature stayed: Brigitte Bardot, Vadim, Boris Vian, Romy Schneider… Simone Duckstein, the daughter of the historic owners, recently handed over to the Adresses Hôtels group, and the renovation was entrusted to Fabrizio Casiraghi. The interior designer wisely streamlined the space (with specially designed furniture for the hotel) while incorporating numerous nods to the establishment's rich past.

We like : The cuisine with Mediterranean accents by young chef Thomas Danigo (who also works off-season at the Hotel Monsieur George in Paris).

The little something extra The hotel's cultural and sports activities include: the La Ponche Literary Prize, a partnership with the Musée de l'Annonciade, and a Yoga & Writing retreat (from November 17th to 20th) organized by Elodie Garamond and writer Lilia Hassaine.

Château de la Treyne

The place : in Lacave, in the Lot, this Hotel in Dordogne It is perched on a rock overlooking the river of the same name. An old ancestral home built on a strategic site in the 14thth century and offers an exceptional panorama of one of France's most beautiful rivers, as well as an ideal setting for a romantic weekend for couples.

The Hotel Nestled within a vast 120-hectare estate planted with numerous species, including some magnificent century-old cedars, the château boasts 18 rooms and suites, each more romantic than the last. Toile de Jouy, patterned wallpaper, period furniture... you are truly in a château of Quercy, with all rooms featuring windows overlooking the Dordogne or the French gardens. The Grand Salon Louis XIII, adorned with an Aubusson tapestry, houses the restaurant where Chef Stéphane Andrieu offers Michelin-starred cuisine that evokes the richness of the region: asparagus from Pays de Mallemort, beef from Aubrac, veal from Aveyron...

We like the warm welcome from the Gombert family, as well as all the activity options (swimming pool, tennis, walks in the park) and regional discoveries possible from Château de La Treyne (the Eyrignac gardens, the Lascaux cave).

The little something extra Château de La Treyne offers special packages for a romantic weekend. These include a romantic room stay package with a canopy bed and jacuzzi tub, half-board with a gourmet menu, and breakfast served in your room…

La Villa René Lalique

The place : In Wingen-sur-Moder, a hotel in Alsace, in the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park, an ultra-luxury pocket hotel that looks like it was made for couples and romantic weekend getaways.

The Hotel René Lalique and his family lived in this villa during their stays in Alsace. Restored and transformed into a charming hotel, it is the first hotel venture for the Lalique group. A magnificent residence offering only six suites, each exclusively decorated for Lalique by Tina Green and Pietro Mingarelli. The historic residence also boasts a gourmet glass restaurant designed by architect Mario Botta. Two-Michelin-starred chef Paul Stradner is at the helm, serving cuisine that champions local Rhine products.

We like all the decorative details inspired by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles dear to René Lalique.

The little something extra : the possibility of visiting the Lalique Museum (5 minutes from the Villa), built about ten years ago by Jean-Michel Wilmotte.

Château Voltaire

The place 55 rue Saint-Roch, a stone's throw from the pretty Place du Marché Saint-Germain and its many terraces.

The Hotel born from the desire of Thierry Gillier, the founder of the ready-to-wear brand Zadig & Voltaire, this hotel near the Paris Opera According to him, it was designed as «a place for today, to be lived in today by today's people.» A hotel that is in tune with its time, therefore, but which has been established within the listed walls of three 17th and 18th-century buildings. The architectural duo Festen has created an atmosphere of simplicity and elegance by using noble materials and calling upon skilled artisans.

We like Room #47, the magnificent 4th-floor apartment with views on both sidesth floor with its conservatory dining room opening onto a green terrace. Clearly, the perfect little nest for a romantic Parisian getaway...

The little something extra the very clever cuisine Parisian bistro from the restaurant Emil and the fact that the bar, La Coquille d’or, stays open late into the night…
