Domaine de Chalamon
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France · Fontenille Collection · Core Luxury
This bastide has stood since the 16th century as the Mas le Tor before a local lord, Pierre de Chalamond, renamed it for his own family in 1663. The Chalamond line held it until 1738, and seven more families passed it down before a London-based family used it as a summer retreat starting in 1996. Frédéric Biousse and Guillaume Foucher reopened it in 2023 as their ninth Fontenille property, a 19-room hotel set inside fifteen hectares of century-old plane trees and gardens designed by Dominique Lafourcade.

About Domaine de Chalamon
- Architect Alexandre Lafourcade led the hotel conversion; he had already worked on the same house years earlier alongside his architect father, Bruno Lafourcade.
- The estate's gardens, designed by landscape architect Dominique Lafourcade, mix cypress-lined walks with olive groves across the property's fifteen hectares.
- Weeks after opening in 2023, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence's mayor publicly accused the hotel of opening without a building permit or municipal safety approval.
- Chef Rémi Falsquelle, previously in Michelin-starred kitchens, runs the estate's restaurant after training at the founders' flagship Domaine de Fontenille in the Luberon.
- Entry-level rooms start at 323 sq ft (30 m²).
