Take the time to live in the heart of the Baronnies
In Buis-les-Baronnies, the days start slowly. A café on the terrace under the plane trees, the song of the cicadas and the golden light on the Baronnies mountains immediately create a feeling of escape. The village invites you to stroll with its small streets, its craft shops and its Provençal market on Wednesday mornings with the scents of olive, lavender and thyme.
Gourmets will be able to discover several partner producers of Du Cloître des Dominicains such as the Vergers des Brunots for its artisanal apricot juices, or Tisane le Dauphin, a real local institution for plants and herbal teas from the Baronnies.
Discover Provence effortlessly
You don’t need to be sporty to fully enjoy the Provençal landscapes. In summer, the roads around Buis-les-Baronnies pass through beautiful fields of lavender in bloom. Between mid-June and mid-July, the purple colours and intoxicating scents offer unforgettable panoramas, perfect for a car ride or a few photo stops at sunset at the Col d’Ey or in the Ubrieux gorges.
For an original and soothing activity, a visit to a spirulina farm allows you to discover an astonishing local production in the heart of the Baronnies Provençales Regional Natural Park. These tours appeal to both couples and families looking for authentic and accessible experiences.
The surrounding villages such as Nyons or Vaison-la-Romaine are also perfect for a quiet excursion between heritage, markets and Provençal gastronomy.
A gourmet and well-being weekend
A successful stay in the Baronnies also involves the pleasures of the table. A few kilometres from Buis-les-Baronnies, several local producers offer tastings of honey, olive oils and wines from the region. Visitors can discover local flavours from partners such as Serre Paulet honey for Nyons honey or Cave de la Comtadine – Almeras in Puymeras for Provençal Côtes-du-Rhône wines.
After a day of discovery, Le Cloître des Dominicains offers a peaceful setting to rest in the heart of the village. Here, luxury is simple: listen to the cicadas, enjoy the sweetness of the Provençal evenings and enjoy a moment out of time. You will even have the chance to attend one of the free concerts scheduled during our season in the courtyard of the Cloister.
