Staying at La Mirande means experiencing life in an 18th-century Provençal townhouse, where every room, every fabric and every stone tells a story, and where the French art of living finds its finest expression.
A private residence transformed into a hotel, with its soul intact
Marc Leonetti, jardinier amoureux de la nature, y a composé un désordre organisé où se côtoient haies de buis, arbres fruitiers, chênes verts, roses et herbes aromatiques — le tout cultivé selon les préceptes de l'agriculture biologique. En plein été, le jardin conserve sa fraîcheur naturelle, havre de paix au cœur historique d'Avignon.
Authentic, living fabrics from the 18th century
Each room is adorned with a historic French printed fabric — Indiennes and Toile de Jouy from the workshops of Braquenié, heirs to the Manufacture Royale de Jouy.
A carefully cultivated, organised wilderness
Marc Leonetti, a gardener with a deep love of nature, has created an organised wilderness where box hedges, fruit trees, holm oaks, roses and aromatic herbs grow side by side — all cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. Even at the height of summer, the garden retains its natural freshness: a peaceful haven in the historic heart of Avignon.
From sunrise to dinner,
a table facing the Palais des Papes
On either side of the garden, four distinct settings unfold throughout the day — from breakfast beneath the shade of the plane trees to evening cocktails, by way of afternoon tea and a gastronomic dinner.
A four-hectare estate
to sustain La Mirande
In keeping with their commitment to sustainable development, the owners cultivate an estate in Sarrians, in the Vaucluse — some twenty kilometres from the hotel — supplying the kitchens with seasonal produce.
