La Bastide de Moustiers - Ducasse Hospitalité

What La Bastide de Moustiers - Ducasse Hospitalité does

La Bastide de Moustiers is a four-star luxury hotel and Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant located in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, operated under Ducasse Hospitalité (legal entity Ducasse France, SIREN 389474974). The property comprises 11 rooms and 2 suites distributed between an 18th-century bastide and independent pavilions set within a 4-hectare private park, and includes a 2,000 m² certified organic kitchen garden (Ecocert, March 2025) and an 800 m² Jardin des Simples. It operates seasonally from April through early November and serves affluent individual travelers, fine-dining enthusiasts, and Gorges du Verdon tourists.

The restaurant holds one Michelin star and one Green Michelin star (Etoile Verte), serving a seasonal, plant-forward menu priced from €90 per person. Additional on-site revenue streams include Thai wellness treatments, electric boat outings (L'Estelle) on Lake Sainte-Croix, breakfast service, and gift vouchers sold through Secretbox. The technical stack is intentionally light: Reservit for hotel booking, La Fourchette for restaurant reservations, and standard secure payment processing — there is no proprietary technology, no public API, and no disclosed AI capability.

Commercialization is direct-to-consumer, driven primarily through the property's own website, telephone reservations, email newsletter, and curated third-party listings on the Michelin Guide, Teritoria hotel collection, and La Fourchette. The business does not distribute rooms through traditional OTAs. Headcount is 26, with key roles held by Maîtresse de maison Sarah Chailan (since 1999), Director of Accommodation Marine Meaux, Restaurant Director and Sommelier Mathieu Bloyet, and Chef de cuisine Valentin Fuchs (appointed 2024–2025). Ownership remains with Chef Alain Ducasse, who acquired the property in 1994, and the asset is part of the Maison Ducasse Paris portfolio alongside Plaza Athénée and other Ducasse establishments.
