A Château in Provence – Château des Alpilles Luxury Stay

Hotels Provence & Cote d'Azur · Jill Barth · Stay: Accommodation & Rentals in Provence

I wrote the book before I’d been there, which may seem like a backwards way to craft a novel. But by the time the book had been outlined characters created, and fictional wines made, this place had begun to feel like home. My novel isn’t about this place exactly, but it is about the feeling of this place. Sometimes you need to smell the air and hear the birds to properly get it down on paper.

Continue reading here for Jill’s descriptions of Château des Alpilles. The hotel is just a short distance from the heart of St Remy-de-Provence, but a 5-star world apart. The Bon family has owned the property since 1979, and according to Jill, they have every detail covered…even the souffle. Enjoy her descriptions and photos.

Jill Barth

Jill is a writer whose characters make wine, love wine, and live wine. Research for her forthcoming novel–the story of a Provençal winemaking family during the Second World War–has afforded her glorious pleasures: meetings with ambitious French vignerons, travel up and down France in bouncy Renaults, overnights in shuttered châteaux, and many hours as a student of wine with a glass to her lips. In this role, she not only enjoys her own relationship with wine but she also indulges in the life of the French winemaking family that inhabits the pages of her novel.

Jill writes about wine, travel and occasionally yoga (she’s a certified yoga instructor). Her fiction has been featured on NPR and has been published in several literary journals.

Her writings can also be found on her blog L’Occasion.
