JP Moser Stayed Here!
La Bastide de Moustiers is a house full of charm situated at the heart of the Alpes de Haute Provence region. Former property of an earthenware master, it offers a splendid view on Moustiers-Sainte-Marie "cliff". The main building was restored by local artisans. Alain Ducasse asked designer friend Tonia Peyrot to give the building the special feel that makes it so endearing.
A HOUSE OF THE HEART
« In 1994, while riding my motorcycle at random on the roads of Provence, I discovered a house standing amidst lavender and olive trees. I made it my anchoring harbour, my home, before deciding to open it to others. It has always had this very special place in my heart, and it still has today… » Alain Ducasse
A HOUSE A SPIRIT
Alain Ducasse wanted his inn to be warm and welcoming, and each one of his guest to feel at home. Filled with a sincere will to please and to share his passion for the terroir , the local land, he personally dedicated himself to its fitting and thought about small details that give a family house its charm : antiques he went himself looking for, picnic baskets to go for a stroll, bicycles to discover the region…
A FEW CLOSE RELATIVES. A SMALL TEAM DEDICATED TO YOUR WELL BEING.
Alain Ducasse entrusted close collaborator Sarah Chailan to look after your happiness and well-being during your stay.

For Alain Ducasse, who loves simple and authentic flavours, using a product from the terroir is something obvious. He only has one demand: quality. Along the seasons, the Chef will make his guests savour exceptional regional food: Beauregard lamb, cheese from Banon, truffle from Riez, Cavaillon melon… And the Sonaio, the homemade cocktail, honours the Amandine (a local liquor) for an exquisite taste…
Let yourself be guided by your taste buds to discover Provence in its appetizing diversity! The lavender honey, clear and unctuous, has an AOC* (*French certification granted to certain French geographical indications for wines, cheeses, butters, and other agricultural products). This honey can be tasted in the village, in some dishes, but also in the famous “Biscuits de Moustiers” pastries or even in pint of milk beer… One will discover the different types of cheese along the markets. The gnôle de Provence, the Pastis, the Génépi and some other aperitif liquors made with plants will certainly surprise spirit lovers.
Faithful to the southern cuisine precepts, the chef only uses homemade olive oil to cook. It is a mild and fruity oil, made with fully ripe fruits from the Bastide’s olive trees. Extracted in the Aups mill, it will ravish the connoisseurs who will luckily taste it in the restaurant.
Alain Ducasse has chosen for you the objects he likes as well as the best local products, available in the Bastide’s boutique. To remember it or discover…
A PLACE OF LIFE
Here, the kitchen is open to everyone. Artifacts escape from the pans, the meat roasts in the fireplace, the clerks are busy and the chef is happy to tell the menu of the day.
SOUTH KITCHEN
Provencal cuisine, menus that change every week. Respectful and generous, she has only one goal: to follow the seasons, to magnify the products.
A GOURMET HOUSE
At the end of the winter, when goat's milk becomes available, the menu offers an ice-cold curd accompanied by custard apples whose stay in the cellar during colds has accentuated sweetness. The kitchen even takes the colors of the season: asparagus, sea lettuce and watercress play a tone on tone of green as elegant as delicate.
FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE PLATE
True treasure of the Bastide de Moustiers, the vegetable garden is home to dozens of species of aromatic herbs, fruits and vegetables that are just waiting to be tasted...
A GARDEN
A few steps from the Bastide is a real vegetable garden. Forty varieties of tomatoes, purple artichokes, green and red pumpkins or riquette ... Our gardener reigns over this kingdom of flavors that he renews with the seasons. Between the plantations, following the paths, everyone can come and stroll in this haven of peace.
A PHILOSOPHY
Every morning, our gardener picks up the produce from the kitchen garden and places his filled crates under the windows of the kitchen. Vegetables, herbs and fruits then make a brief stay in the hands of the chef ... Then, still in their very first freshness and barely transformed, they invite themselves to the plates of the hosts.
A PLATE
Tomato sorbet, stuffed zucchini flowers, seasonal vegetable casserole or ratatouille... The aromas are diffused, the flavors explode...
