La Fontaine in Simiane-la-Rotonde, open April–August.
La Fontaine is a restored 18th-century Provençal property that has been thoughtfully converted into a boutique hotel and wedding venue.
Originally built as a manor house, the estate retains its historical character while offering modern hospitality across its stone-built accommodations.
Located in the heart of Haute-Provence near Simiane-la-Rotonde, it provides an authentic countryside setting for celebrations of up to 150 guests.
We had a wonderful and peaceful stay. The place is very close to Simiane La Rotonde, sorrounded by horses and with a lovely pool. We would definately come back!
