All eyes are on this corner of Le Sud, and it helps that one of the splashiest hotel openings of the year — one that focuses on history, design and, of course, exquisite hospitality — is right there in the centre.
Hotel du Couvent is certainly the most extensive and painstakingly pretty hotel launch of 2024, given that the cool kids at the Perseus Group — formerly of Les Roches Rouge in Saint-Raphaël and Le Pigalle in Paris — took 10 years to restore the abandoned 400-year-old convent, surrounded by orange trees and terraced gardens, into a smart 88-room city stay.
