Nestled in the heart of Parc Georges Besse in Nîmes, Mas de Boudan welcomes guests into a captivating atmosphere, filled with warmth, authenticity, and a touch of magic. A talented chef with a brilliant career, Jérôme Nutile instantly knew this was the place to fulfill his “slightly crazy” dream: to restore the nobility of this historic Mas. After several months of renovation, the chef and his team inaugurated the Bistr’AU, the Michelin-starred Jérôme Nutile gourmet restaurant, the boutique, and the hotel. Everything is thoughtfully arranged around a landscaped garden designed by Frédéric Faure, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France and friend of the chef. This beautifully restored farmhouse now offers a peaceful green haven just minutes from the city center. It features four elegant rooms with garden views including the sumptuous Flamenca Suite blending tradition and modernity for a relaxing, refined stay. Every detail is designed for guest comfort: luxurious bedding, Nuxe cosmetics, private secured parking, and a fully equipped 69 m² seminar room for private events or meetings. Not to mention the delicious breakfast, featuring fresh homemade pastries, fine cheeses and charcuterie, and seasonal fruits all served on a white tablecloth in the elegant dining room. Simply delightful!Just a stone’s throw from the historic center of Nîmes and its famous Roman Arena, the hotel is a peaceful retreat from city noise.
