Please note that the hotel is under construction - Reopening summer 2025
Hôtel Le Provençal is a true haven of peace, offering a unique setting in which to recharge your batteries and enjoy the unspoilt beauty of the Presqu'île de Giens.
Created in 1951 by Marius Michel, the emblematic chef of the Lido in Paris, this historic hotel has evolved over time, while retaining its unique character. Originally a small 15-room hotel with a brasserie-bar-tabac, the Provencal has gradually been transformed to offer 41 spacious rooms, all with breathtaking views over the islands of Hyères.
Hôtel Le Provençal is a charming, authentic establishment that has preserved its Provençal atmosphere and family spirit. Since its creation, the hotel has remained a true family affair. Monsieur Michel's grandsons, Damien and Benjamin, took over management of the establishment in 2012.
Today, Hôtel Le Provençal continues to evolve, with a complete renovation scheduled for completion by summer 2025. These renovations are designed to enhance the authenticity of the place, while offering guests a more pleasant experience and preserving the Provençal charm and family atmosphere, true to its history
In addition to its role as a hotel, Le Provençal also distinguishes itself as a hotel residence, with a two-hectare private park featuring an in-ground seawater swimming pool, private beach, tennis court and pétanque court. Le Provençal also boasts a number of restaurants where you can enjoy local cuisine with fresh produce, in an exceptional setting.
Le Provençal comprises two sites: the 3-star hotel and 23 apartments spread over three large villas. It features 5 restaurants.
In the hotel: a gourmet restaurant with panoramic views, and on the village side: a bistro and a tapas and wine bar. The other two summer restaurants are in the park, where you'll find beach volleyball, petanque and tennis courts, and a seawater pool dug into the rocks.
A haven of serenity between tradition and modernity, Le Provençal offers a unique setting in which to relax and enjoy a preserved environment.

Our generation is in the sustainable development approach. We have this awareness, so favoring local products is natural, as is applying for the Esprit Parc National brand, because it's in our state of mind.
When they took over the management of their grandfather's hotel in 2012, Benjamin and Damien Piffet were respectively 29 and 26 years old... and already quite a bit of travel.
After studying business and finance, Benjamin traveled and worked in Spain, Germany, England and Brazil. After several internships, he became a pastry chef. Business school also for Damien, who continued his studies in Finland before leaving to work in Hong Kong and Australia.
We grew up here, we are very attached to the territory. Leaving allowed us to realize how lucky we are and the quality of life here. So we took over from our parents.
Each of us has a role to play: Damien is in charge of communication, administration, reception, and supervision of the teams in the rooms. Benjamin supervises the five restaurants.
Their ambition?
We have already created three prototype rooms with the designer Jean Colonna. We met him through the Villa Noailles, which is part of the hotel's history, as our mother has supported the art and design center since its creation.
Le Provençal is also the official hotel of the International Fashion and Photography Festival.
The two brothers are keen to consolidate their local roots: they organize jazz aperitifs open to the public every Thursday evening in July and August, "we have approached local fishermen and market gardeners to work with them, we welcome trainees, we run workshops at the Giens elementary school..."
