La Vague de Saint-Paul
La Vague filled a glaring gap in the St-Paul accommodations market when it opened earlier this decade: an affordable hotel for art lovers seeking country tranquility and wow-factor design. The wavelike main hotel building was originally conceived by far-out architect André Minangoy in the 1960s. Color-coded guestrooms now look out onto a vast garden complete with pétanque run, tennis court, bar, and pool. The attached (almost 100 percent organic) restaurant delivers five daily starters and mains on 39€ and 90€ set menus. The complex sits a short walk from the Fondation Maeght contemporary art museum—and a longer stroll through the forest to St-Paul-de-Vence village via a secret trail. Check the website for fabulous low season offers, with rates for 3 nights for the price of 2.
