Discovering Provençal Traditions and Contemporary Architecture

At Clos Mirages, join owner and architect Hervé PAILLARD to discover how Provençal traditions and contemporary architecture come together at a winery.

Is a blend of Provençal and contemporary architecture possible?

When he took over CLOS MIRAGES in 2020—a vineyard in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez that had fallen into disuse—the owner, who is also an architect, faced several aesthetic and technical choices for each of the estate’s buildings that he built or rebuilt.
For those with a historical legacy, Hervé PAILLARD opted for a style that respects Provençal and Mediterranean traditions in the broadest sense.
For the construction of the bioclimatic wine cellar, he reinterpreted traditional building principles, adapting them to a contemporary structure.
During the tour, you’ll discover how historic architectural techniques from the past can be applied to a resolutely modern structure, while respecting the surrounding natural environment.
