Vincent Gaymard

Events at the Sofitel

The new manager at the Sofitel and Novotel on Marseille’s Vieux-Port makes no bones about his aim to restore the Sofitel to its central place in Marseille life.

Vincent Gaymard is well equipped for the task. He spent years with Accor, where he was most recently manager of the Pullman Marseille Provence Aéroport (2015-2022) and manager of the MGallery Beauvau Marseille Vieux-Port (2011-2015). Vincent Gaymard also chairs the Provence branches of several tourism and hotel trade organisations such as Provence Côte d’Azur Events. All these responsibilities have given him a sound knowledge of the region and its artisans, artists, creatives, brands and assorted talents. And he means to promote them by organising cultural, business and sport-related events in the splendid setting of the Sofitel’s 7th floor, with its unbeatable view of the town. One recent event, with the coming of summer, was a celebration of two key items of Provençal heritage, pastis and pétanque - with a pétanque court set up on the hotel roof. This summer, the Danté Skylounge will have DJ sessions on Thursdays and live bands on Fridays, while a partnership with Château La Coste will put the spotlight on another top-notch product of Provence
