In a village perched 16 km from Nice, our family has been hosting guests at the Auberge de La Madone for over 76 years. Learn about our journey!
Staying at the Auberge de La Madone is like stepping back in time, into a peaceful haven far from the hustle and bustle of city life. With a unique touch of modern culinary flair, our family warmly welcomes its guests. Feel right at home while being away from it all. A place where you can fulfil multiple dreams while savouring the authentic life near Nice!
Winding through the hillside of the Niçois hinterland, you’ll find a road lined with olive trees leading you to a true haven of peace. At the end of this road, you’ll discover the medieval village of Peillon, perched like an eagle’s nest amidst lush greenery.
Just near the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Douleurs, you’ll arrive at our family estate, which spans 3 hectares of olive groves and orchards. In this Mediterranean setting, the Auberge de La Madone was established in 1946 as a village restaurant and grocery, founded by our grandparents. Driven by the same passion for hospitality, our family has passed down its expertise and values from generation to generation, blending authenticity and sincerity while evolving with the times.

After training in cooking and specialising in vegetarian cuisine and rotisserie, he carved out a remarkable career at prestigious establishments on the French Riviera, including La Chèvre d’Or in Eze, Louis XV in Monaco, the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and La Bastide Saint-Antoine in Grasse. He then joined his father, Christian, in 1998, working alongside him for twenty years before taking over as the head chef of our restaurant in 2016. This culinary passion is a cornerstone of our generational legacy.
