Au Vieux Panier – Background
WAKE UP IN A WORK OF ART! This old seventeenth century building was once a Corsican grocery shop. Today, it has been transformed into a Maison d’Hôtes with 5 unique rooms- each is designed in a different style by a talented contemporary artist. We offer our guests a rare opportunity to sleep in a work of art – before it changes the following year.
Enjoy an original artistic experience during a stay in this house seeped in history.
An exceptional location
