ACTIVITIES

for a Customized Experience

 

Since the inception of Domaines de Chabran, our passion has been to share with our guests an authentic love and appreciation for the life and culture of Provence. Over the years, our network of local guides, chefs, winemakers, artisans, and artists has expanded, allowing us to offer an insider’s perspective on Provençal culture and lifestyle that remains hidden to most. Our concierge has opened doors to exclusive places and introduced our guests to remarkable people, offering a truly unique way to explore or rediscover this beautiful region.
 

For an exhilarating experience, participate in bull herding for a day, immersing yourself in the life of a Camarguaise Guardian. If art and creativity captivate you, enjoy an intimate conversation with a local artist in their private studio, where you can witness the magic of creation—an opportunity normally unavailable to the public. For wine lovers, dine with a winemaker in their cellar, engaging in heartfelt discussions about their craft, from their deepest passions to the challenges they face.

 

The gastronomic scene of our region plays a central role in what we offer. Cooking enthusiasts can enjoy classes with celebrated local chefs, or, for a more exclusive touch, experience a Michelin-star dinner prepared in the comfort of your private villa.

 

Driven by a desire to curate the perfect Provençal experience, we have created our yearly experience guide, filled with inspirations for all ages and interests. Whether you seek art, gastronomy, nature, or a special selection of exclusive Art de Vivre experiences, our team will ensure that every activity is tailored to your preferences and meticulously organized behind the scenes.
