This year, when l Oustau de Baumanière and I passed 70-year milestone of existence, so many vivid memories are coming back to me: images, shadows, lights, aroma and flavours that will stay with me forever. As if time only serves to magnify our remembrances, I feel today just how much the adventure led by my grand-father Raymond Thuilier, has been important and beautiful. Together with my wife, Geneviève, I am carrying on the work he undertook with passion and it seems to me that the spirit of Baumanière, both immutable and open, to change, only keeps on growing. Watching the sun rise on Les Baux de Provence, illuminating this magnificent setting, hearing the first noises from our kitchens, I feel the ongoing thrill that has animated this place from the beginning, and I resum the quest for all that is beautiful and good with renewed fervour. With all my team members, women and men of drive and determination, loyal to our spirit, Baumanière invites you to the land of the art of gracious living, hidden away in this lovely corner of Provence for the past 70 years. Seven decades filled with exceptional times, grand occasions and little stories, and with a great deal of happiness. Jean André Charial, Juillet 2016
