Chateau
Saint-Martin & Spa is proud to announce the launch of its‘Semaine
d’Or’ program, an exclusive offer for Chinese-speaking travelers.
Chateau Saint-Martin & Spa’s new ‘Semaine d’Or’ program has been
designed to showcase the best of Provence, including its many cultural,
shopping and gastronomic delights, to discerning Chinese-speaking travelers
who want to be fully supported by a Chinese interpreter and guide if required.
The ‘Semaine d’Or’program, which means ‘Golden Week’ in French,
includes a three-night/four-day stay for two people in one of Chateau
Saint-Martin & Spa’s 39 junior suites, decorated with period furniture in
Louis XV and Louis XVI style. Guests can unwind on their private
balconies overlooking the Cote d’Azur and take in the sweeping views to the
Mediterranean and the Baie des Anges or look up towards the rugged hills of Provence.
The four-day‘Semaine d’Or’ program includes a half-day visit to the
picturesque mediaeval village of Saint Paul de Vence, located only 20 minutes
away from the hotel and perched on a precarious cliff-top. Guests will
be guided through the village’s history and art by a Chinese-speaking
interpreter.
Highlights of the individualized tour for two includes the
celebrated village ramparts dated from the 16th Century, as well
as the 14th Century Collegiate Church and the market square known
as ‘La Place de La Grande Fontaine,’ meaning ‘the place with the
large fountain,’ where villagers would come to wash their clothes and gather
under the welcome shade of the horse chestnut trees. Art lovers can then
visit Saint Paul de Vence’s famed modern art museum, the Maeght Foundation,
which features works by Calder, Chagall, Braque, Giacometti and Miró amongst
others.
The next day, guests can enjoy a half-day shopping excursion to Cannes
accompanied by a Chinese-speaking interpreter who will guide them through the
town’s famed La Croisette and Rue d’Antibes shopping areas. Here, guests can
pop into the shops of world-famous French brands such as Chanel and Louis
Vuitton or can be introduced to artisanal crafts such as leather-working,
soap-making and perfumeries.
A visit to the South of France is not complete without experiencing the full
breadth of its gastronomic delights. As such, the ‘Semaine d’Or’
program invites Chinese-speaking guests on a full day’s visit to local
vineyards specializing in rose and white wines. The accompanying
Chinese-speaking interpreter will introduce them to the Chateaux’ owners and
guide them through the wine-making process, followed by a tasting in the
vineyard’s cellars or out amongst the grapevines under the blue Provençale
sky.
In addition, Chateau Saint-Martin & Spa boasts one of the largest wine
cellars in the area, with over 15,000 bottles of some of the world’s most
exclusive vintages available to oenophiles and guests alike. Here, Head
Sommelier Geraud Tournier will host a private tasting accompanied by a
Chinese interpreter and walk guests through a personalized selection of wines
and vintages of their choice.
Finally, the ‘Semaine d’Or’ offers guests a dinner for two people at
the hotel’s one-Michelin starred Le Saint-Martin restaurant, run by famed
French chef Franck Ferigutti, who brings 30 years of culinary experience to
the table. Chef Ferigutti draws inspiration from seasonal produce and local
harvests, giving each dish a distinctive seasonal flavor. Here, guests
will be able to experience the best dishes of the South of France.
Chateau Saint-Martin & Spa is a former 12th Century Knights
Templar Commandery with superb views over the sweep of the Cote d’Azur. A
place of pristine natural beauty, the hotel is set in a 32-acre park made up
of 300 olive trees. Chateau Saint-Martin & Spa is today a prestigious
five-star property that encapsulates ‘L’art de vivre a la française,’ and has
been one of the jewels of the Relais & Chateaux collection since 1970.
