Day 1
Mornings at the Château unfold with a rare sense of grace, beginning on the terrace where breakfast opens onto sweeping views of the Riviera. Fresh flavors, homemade breads and pastries set the tone, yet it is the breathtaking panorama that truly defines the moment.
Morning
Discover Vence Each morning, Vence awakens in a burst of color as market stalls fill the streets with the scents and shades of Provence. Fresh fruit, seasonal vegetables, fragrant spices and flowers create a vibrant immersion into local life. Art is deeply woven into the region’s identity. The Fondation Émile Hugues, housed in a beautifully preserved historic building, offers a refined selection of contemporary exhibitions and is well worth exploring. Matisse museum & Masterpiece Just above Vence stands the Chapelle du Rosaire, one of the most significant landmarks of sacred art. Designed by Matisse at the age of 77, he considered it his true masterpiece. Entirely made of stained glass, its colors draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape: the blue of the sea, the yellow of the sun, and the green of the hills, creating a truly transcendental experience. In Nice, the Musée Matisse explores the artist’s deep connection with the city, where he lived from 1918 to 1954, and showcases a rich collection of his most iconic works.
Lunch & Afternoon
Lunch at L'Auberge des Seigneurs There is a certain ease to settling at Auberge des Seigneurs. Whether for its signature wood-fired roast chicken or simply for the terrace overlooking the hills with views stretching toward the Château Saint-Martin & Spa, this family-run address embodies authentic Provençal charm. Tourrettes-sur-Loup Perched above the valley, Tourrettes-sur-Loup reveals its character through stone alleys, artisan workshops and open views across the Côte d’Azur hinterland. Bathed in light and surrounded by nature, the village invites unhurried wandering and a genuine sense of Provençal living. A moment of pure relaxation Back at the Château Saint-Martin & Spa, the pace slows completely. The infinity pool opens onto uninterrupted views, inviting long pauses in the sun, a refreshing swim, or a drink by the water’s edge. As the afternoon fades, a game of pétanque beneath the olive trees brings a final touch of local spirit—simple, social, and unmistakably Southern.
Dinner
Dinner at Le Saint-Martin At the Château’s gastronomic restaurant, Chef Executive Romain Antoine offers a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine, shaped by seasonality and exceptional local produce. Each plate is crafted with precision and clarity of flavor.
From the terrace—an elevated balcony overlooking the Riviera—the landscape unfolds in layers of hills, sea and golden evening light. The setting feels intimate, almost suspended. Guests experience a complete journey: refined food and wine pairings from the Château’s cellar, attentive service, and a gentle evening rhythm carried by the summer air. As night falls, the restaurant becomes a living stage where cuisine and landscape meet in quiet harmony, embodying the timeless art of hospitality at the Château.
