Château de Meï-Lésé****

Built in 1830 in La Croix-Valmer on the heights of the Saint-Tropez peninsula, the Château de Meï-Lésé overlooks the sea and the vineyards that once occupied the area as far as the eye can see. A second building, built in 1930 on the property, benefits from a very nice flowered garden of 5,000 m2 opening a magnificent view on the Gulf of Cavalaire and the Golden Islands.

The current owners, Jacky and Lauryanne Buttard, an artistic couple(1) who have become hotel professionals in Morzine Avoriaz, fell in love with this charming hotel, which they bought in 1996.

In Provençal, meï lésé means "my pleasures..." Clearly, this hotel is theirs: "We love people, contact, we are professionals in our field, happy to welcome guests to our little paradise".

It's a setting they completely renovated in 2014, opting for a coquettish Provençal style that can be found in the lounges and the 14 rooms named after flowers, each with its own hue and ambience. Since then, the hotel has been open year-round. It boasts a very large outdoor terrace around the swimming pool, where guests can enjoy breakfast and meals while admiring the panoramic views.

Rated four stars, Château de Meï-Lésé is located close to the beaches of Gigaro and Pampelonne, and typical villages such as Gassin, Ramatuelle, Grimaud and Saint-Tropez. From the château, there are numerous walking and cycling routes to the sea and the surrounding countryside, through the woods or along the circuit created on the old railroad line. In the basement, a bar-pub with large screen has just been fitted out. In the off-season, the owners hope to welcome local customers for evenings of sport and relaxation with friends. With a free shuttle service to get you home safely! Once again, a certain idea of hospitality..

À la rencontre de...

Château Meï-Lésé is first and foremost a love story. Between Jacky Buttard, a Savoyard who fell madly in love at the age of 21 with the sister of a friend, "she radiated...". Lauryanne, a beautiful blonde, also fell in love.

In couple since 1978, they got married in 1999 and are, one as the other, bulimics of work. Singer and butler, Jacky has for a long time led both careers at the same time " I made records, concerts in France and abroad ".

Just like Lauryanne, an acrobatic dancer, who "has worked all over the world". In 1979, they took a business in Morzine. A hotel-bar-restaurant-discotheque that they recovered in a sad state. "We turned it into a paradise". But at the cost of 35 years of hard work. " We didn't go on vacation ten times, even the wedding was postponed for 15 days because we had arrivals!

In the summer, the Buttards don't work much in Morzine, they want the sun and go down to the South with the idea of finding a business "maybe a beach" for the season.

We had thought of Saint-Tropez, but when we arrived at La Croix-Valmer, my wife had stars in her eyes. We saw the hotel that had been closed for 5 years. We asked to visit and we fell in love immediately.

It took them two years to acquire it in 1996. For 17 years, the couple manages both businesses: Meï-Lésé is closed in winter, until 2014 when they sell in Haute-Savoie. With regret... " Morzine was a beautiful place, we lived there happily. But today we live in another paradise. We love people, our vocation is hospitality and the hotel is doing well". A project? "We would like to become a four-star hotel.

For them the brand Esprit Parc National is also important because it is a recognition of quality and commitment to the environment. It's a process that we've started, but it encourages us to go further.

This is what we are doing by opting for ecological products, sorting in the rooms, and making our customers aware of water and energy savings. They also dream of finding the time to "make the circuit of the three Golden Islands and spend a night in each... An accessible dream!
