Luxury Village House In The Heart Of Historic St.Remy-De-Provence

Le Petit Bijou is in the Provencal town of Saint Rémy-de-Provence in southern France and is owned by the author Vicki Archer. The house is inspired by the spirit of Vicki's books ''My French Life'' and ''French Essence'' .

Le Petit Bijou underwent a two year restoration led by the talented local architect Hugues Bosc and has been decorated by Vicki with many pieces sourced from local brocantes.

Vicki has created something that works for those who would like to discover Provence in a stylish way. Le Petit Bijou is all about providing a supremely comfortable retreat after a day of discovery in the region.

Le Petit Bijou is an air-conditioned, two story village house with a sitting room and dining area on the ground floor with a connected kitchen, guest powder-room and a lobby room. The first floor comprises a master bedroom and a double bedroom. The double bedroom opens onto a terrace with views over the garden of the historic Hôtel de Sade and the village rooftops. There is a separate WC and a bathroom with a shower and bath on the first floor.

Le Petit Bijou was featured in the August 2014 edition of ''25 Beautiful Homes''.

Le Petit Bijou is right in the center of Saint Rémy-de-Provence in the historical precinct close to the Musée des Alpilles and the Hôtel de Sade. It is in a quiet street off the rue Carnot with its restaurants, a patisserie and a presse. Saint Rémy’s Wednesday market is only a few hundred metres away. The spectacular Alpilles mountain range and the gorgeous village of Eygalieres are nearby.

Saint Rémy-de-Provence is a brilliant jumping off point for Avignon, Aîx-en-Provence, Arles, Maussane-les-Alpilles, Marseille, Nimes and the Camargue. The Luberon, Gordes and Sénanque Abbey with its lavender fields are about 50 minutes away.

The area is well served with transport links.
By train: It is 20kms and 25 minutes’ drive from the TGV fast train station outside Avignon. The TGV operates direct to Avignon from London in the summer months and from Paris year round.
By air: It is 75kms and about 55 minutes’ drive from Marseille Provence airport. There are daily flights to Marseille from London by British Airways, EasyJet and Ryanair and by Air France from Paris. XL Airways operates a New York to Marseille service. The smaller Avignon airport (20kms and 20 minutes) is served by Flybe from Southampton.
Rental cars are available at Avignon TGV train station, Avignon Airport and Marseille Provence Airport.

A truly perfect location and a beautifully appointed house with everything you need!
It is right in the heart of Saint Remy de Provence, and you can easily walk to everything. The house is also very quiet, tucked back just behind the square. A peaceful clean oasis but close to restaurants and shops. We visited many of Provence's beautiful villages, and this was a perfect home base. We will be back.

A Little Gem
Wonderful property! Location was perfect. Pleasant and responsive manager! Just what we expected. Small for two couples but great for girls or one couple. Parking was a challenge like every place in St Remy but manageable. We would highly recommend Petit Bijou! You will love it!

Once in a Lifetime
We have visited St Remy a number of times, but staying at Le Petite Bijou made it a trip my husband and I will never forget. Every thoughtful choice and accommodation was chosen by the Archers to provide a unique blend of luxury and comfort. In the middle of town, and yet you feel as though you are in the countryside. And House Manager, Patricia, responds to any requests with lightening speed so as not to disrupt any plans you have. Treat yourself.

October in Le Petit Bijou
Our stay in Le Petit Bijou was outstanding. Everything in the house is as it is pictured and in perfect and immaculate condition and in superb working order. My husband and I are great tourers so we used LPB as our home base and returned home to have a glass of wine either on our terrace or in a cafe in St Remy, just minutes away. Everything necessary is around the corner, including great restaurants, patisseries, boulangeries and of course the famous market. St. Remy is a great walking town. Arrangements to rent were very easily made and Christiane, the local manager, was on hand to welcome us and provide guidance whenever needed. It is indeed a jewel.

Ideal…hated to leave
The property was better than expected. But where it was located and finding the property manager…. Who did NOT know we were coming was a nightmare. Owner did not relate to manager. If it weren’t for a restaurant owner who knew the manager and had said previous problems he had noticed… we would NEVER have located the property!!! Thank God we found the wonderful property manager by a phone call via the restaurant owner!!

Summer holiday in St. Remy-de-Provence
We were three adults (one couple plus a friend), and we were very comfortable during our 10-day stay. Le Petit Bijou is in a perfect location-within the town center, but also extremely quiet and peaceful. It was so lovely and quaint, in fact, that passers-by were constantly taking pictures of the facade! However, there was plenty of room and privacy within the apartment. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were luxurious and plentiful. Patricia, the concierge, was attentive, helpful, and friendly.

Great Provence Vacation
We totally enjoyed our time spent in Provence and specifically at Le Petit Bijou. We spent our days sightseeing and returned mid afternoon to enjoy the comfort of the home. We especially enjoyed our evening/afternoon cocktails on the small balcony off the guest bedroom. The TV has every channel you need to watch shows and movies in english. We were not impressed with the internet speed. You could not access the internet upstairs. The parking is not allowed near the home. But it is only a 4 minute walk to a city parking lot with free parking. Restaurants, cafes and most importantly to us, a bakery is very near. We were very pleased with our choice for our Provence vacation. Thank you David, Vicki and Patricia the house manager.

A chic respite right in town
This beautiful home is right in the center of medieval St. Rémy, with grocery, patisserie, and restaurants a 5 min. walk. Two bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, the kitchen had all modern essentials, laundry supplies were available, and my 80 year old parents appreciated the walk-in shower (while I claimed the clawfoot bath). Many unexpected treats were also kindly included, such as exquisite bath oil, shampoo, etc., candies, a bottle of wine, and fresh milk for the Nespresso machine. The manager is delightful and most attentive. She doesn't speak English, but is a dab hand with her translator app, and we were able to communicate fine. We also learned how to translate emails, so that was a good skill to acquire. This chic, comfortable respite is on our list of "must return".

Le Petit Bijou is indeed a JEWEL!!
Our family (husband, myself, daughter and son-in-law) trip to Provence included a stay at Le Petit Bijou which we used as our home base. We were extremely pleased with the accommodations and location of the apartment. The apartment was modern and yet, at the same time, quintessentially French in a shabby chic way. It was abundantly stocked and came with extras that most short-term rentals do not supply such as four (4) robes, soaps, room candles, and an abundant supply of teas and Nespresso coffee pods in various flavors. There were five (5) beautiful live white orchids spread around the unit and plenty of lovely books to browse. Even before we arrived, the generous hospitality started with owner David Archer assisting with dinner reservations. Then during our stay, Patricia, who welcomed us at check-in, texted daily to insure we were having a pleasant time in sassy St. Remy. The food market was a stone throw away and could not have been more convenient for keeping the refrigerator stocked. The shops and restaurants were all with-in walking distance.. The rental description of Le Petit Bijou was completely accurate and should boast even more about what a little jewel it is! We hope to return to St. Remy and would definitely rent again! Merci!

Le Petit Bijou is all that the name implies. It is quintessential Provence & beautifully appointed.
Patricia, the house manager, met with us upon arrival & departure. She is an absolute delight! The property is in the very heart of St. Remy. The property owners were most helpful in answering questions & arranging airport transfers. We felt as if we were living like locals. What a gem!

Maison et emplacement idéal
Très belle maison, décorée avec beaucoup de goût et d'élégance. On si sent très bien. Emplacement idéal, et très calme. Hôtesse de maison très sympathique, au petit soin. Unique petit bémol, pour garer la voiture, il aurait été mieux de conserver le garage plutôt que de le transformer en patio qui ne sert pas.

Exceptionnel
Siamo stati a st Rémy de Provence e abbiamo alloggiato a Le Petit bijou, una casa tipica del paese in pieno centro. Ci ha accolti il ns referente Patricia che e’ stata efficiente nella guida , gentile e disponibile. La casa e’ impeccabile e completamente ristrutturata di recente, con finiture di pregio ad un livello decisamente sopra allo standard. Nulla e’ lasciato al caso,dalla cucina fornita di tutti gli elettrodomestici e con stoviglie ricercate, alle camere arredate con poltrone Luigi XVI e lenzuola di lino ricamato per il letto. Il bagno principale, oltre alla doccia ha una magnifica vasca in ghisa. Delizioso il terrazzino con vista sui tetti. Ovunque si trovano(con grande fiducia dei proprietari verso gli ospiti) oggetti preziosi comprati nei mercatini locali e libri di ogni genere ed interesse, molti di questi antichi. Per chi vuole vivere un soggiorno in una dimora di lusso nell’assolata Provenza.
