Hotel Crillon le Brave

What we Love

We love Hôtel Crillon le Brave’s serene Provençal setting, where couples can exchange vows overlooking Mont Ventoux and relax in luxurious accommodations. With exclusive venues and customized wedding services, it offers a seamless blend of privacy, authenticity, and luxury, perfect for intimate celebrations surrounded by Provence’s natural beauty.

About the Venue

Hôtel Crillon le Brave is situated in the scenic village of Crillon le Brave, nestled at the base of Mont Ventoux in the Vaucluse region of Provence. Established in 1989, this boutique hotel was originally envisioned as a cyclist’s haven by founder Peter Chittick. Over time, the property expanded to encompass nine stone houses, forming a unique cluster that retains the village’s medieval charm. In 2017, the Pariente family took stewardship of the property, collaborating with designer Charles Zana to revitalize the interior with contemporary Provençal flair.

For weddings, Hôtel Crillon le Brave offers panoramic terraces, intimate rooms, and lush gardens with breathtaking views, creating a private, picturesque setting. Couples and their guests are treated to Provençal-inspired dining by Chef Thomas Lesage, who crafts seasonal menus highlighting local ingredients. The atmosphere, blending tranquility and refined elegance, offers an exclusive, memorable setting for wedding celebrations.
