"Le Moulin in the Perche Sarthois. It’s my vacation home, my haven of peace. The only place in the world where time stands still, where nothing disturbs my nap. My favorite place to gather family and friends."

LES BAINS GARDIANS

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

"The Gardian Baths in the Camargue, because they embody a shared history. A place unlike any other in France—one that could be found anywhere else in the world, and yet exists nowhere else."

Bora Bora

French Polynesia

"Lost in the middle of the Pacific, this is one of Bora Bora’s most refined hotels. It offers a sense of complete seclusion, a reimagined luxury, and that warm, welcoming spirit so characteristic of the Māori people."
