Christian Lallier and his castle © GP

They are called “fig tree”, “magnolia”, “wisteria”, “olive tree”: these are the soft rooms, with their old-fashioned furniture, their double beds, their fireplace, their library corner, their vintage bathrooms. with their green marble, of this 19th century Provençal castel, which seems to come from a book or a film by Marcel Pagnol in the style of “my mother’s castle”, reviewed as a charming guest house by the passionate Christian Lallier .

This native of the Loire Valley rallied to the virtues of Provence, passionate about wines and olive oil, watches as a protective father over this protected estate which has a view of its green area and the nearby Massif des Maures. People come here for a peaceful stopover for one or more evenings in a vast olive grove with its two hundred trees, a seminar, a communion or a wedding. But also a gourmet meal concocted by the house maestro, Philippe Rousselot, with wines from here and elsewhere, offered at the Table de la Source, which we will soon talk about.

Swimming pool, cozy lounges, books filling rich libraries, larger windows on the first floor, intimate skylights on the second floor, garden offering views off the nearby peaks, trees, but also the modern or old houses of Draguignan form the setting a gentle stay in the Dracénie, this little-known Haut Var whose grand tourism is still dormant.
