Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Pierredon

The Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Pierredon spans across 600 hectares of heath and forest land, featuring traditional Provençal architectural elements and stone construction.

Founded in 1205 by the Chalais monastic order, the abbey began as a monastery housing twelve monks under the guidance of abbots Jourdan and Guillaume.

The restored chapel displays regional craftsmanship through Beaucaire stones, wooden shutters, and authentic floor tiles that reflect Provençal building traditions.

The estate produces wines under the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence classification, using varieties including Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache, and Rolle grapes.

The property includes 2000 square meters of renovated living space, complemented by Dominique Lafourcade's landscaped gardens and a historic colonnade courtyard.
