Images of Prieur Notre Dame

The Prieur Notre Dame is the family retreat of Bernard Jarrier and Carole Peck and the home of Carole Peck's Provence Culinary Tours. The Prieur is located directly across from the 12th century church at the center of Montfrin, a village built on the site of a former Roman camp bordering the River Gardon and near the famous Roman aqueduct, Le Pont du Gard. Montfrin is conveniently located in the heart of Provence at the center of a triangle formed by the cities of Avignon, Arles and Nimes, each about 20 minutes' drive from Montfrin.

The Prieur has been painstakingly restored to its 12th and 14th century origins with sophisticated comforts and modern design. At this time, the Prieur encompasses 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, library, sitting room, dining room, conservatory, wine tasting cellar, and a large traditional kitchen suitable for cooking classes and great dinners. The kitchen and the sitting room overlook the enclosed courtyard, with its terraces, swimming pool and palm trees.

The Prieure provides the primary accommodations for guests participating in Carole Peck's Provence Culinary Tours. Supplementary accommodations are available at a nearby bed and breakfast for larger tour groups.

The Prieur is also available for rental. For more information, please call (203) 266-4622 or e-mail your inquiry to bernard@icilapress.com.
