Le Grand Banc
Oppedette, Luberon, Provence
A secluded 500-year-old hilltop hamlet in the Luberon, run by an English event planner.
Le Grand Banc is a private 500-year-old hamlet set in 60 acres of lavender fields and orchard above the Luberon National Park. The site has been in the same family — the Frys, of the chocolate dynasty — since the 1960s, and it now sits in a UNESCO Geopark where air-traffic restrictions keep the skies notably dark and clear. The whole place runs in English, which makes the planning thoroughly low-friction for couples coming from the UK, Ireland or the US.
Exclusive hire runs Friday to Monday and includes two breakfasts and a Sunday brunch, with 15 bedrooms sleeping up to 32 guests across the hamlet itself; the remaining day guests stay in nearby Luberon villages. The lower terrace, pool terrace and on-site nomadic stretch tent give you a natural ceremony-to-dinner-to-dancing flow without moving cars, and the team will share a suppliers list and a professional kitchen for your chosen caterer.
