This former Knights Templar commandery in the foothills of the Massif des Maures dates from the 13th century and was a halt and rest place on the route to the Holy Land. Now it has revived its tradition of hospitality and welcomes passing visitors with eight new and five existing guestrooms. Authentic floor tiles, stripped beams, time-aged period furniture and beautiful linen make up the décor created by decorator Jean-Louis Fages. In a majestic architectural setting still redolent of the Templars, chef Guillaume Delaunet welcomes you to his table d'hôte to enjoy seasonal cuisine using vegetables from the kitchen garden.
An open-air museum.
The Commanderie de Peyrassol houses France's largest private collection of contemporary art that is open to the public. Its garden is dotted with some 50 huge sculptures by great contemporary artists, including Antony Gormley's new installation and pieces by Paul Berry, Kendell Geers and Bernar Venet who recently contributed to the Le Noir Bernar special bottling.
