Comptoir Saint-Hilaire is a 17th-century former sheepfold transformed into a luxury venue in Saint-Hilaire-de-Brethmas, located between Uzès, Nîmes, and Alès. Surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and 57 hectares of garrigue, holm oak woods, olive groves, and lavender fields, it offers expansive views over the Cévennes mountains. The estate’s deep-rooted history includes its past as a Protestant Camisard resistance site, adding cultural weight to its tranquil setting.
Founded by the Georges family and reinvented in 2005 by stylist Catherine Painvin of "Tartine et Chocolat", the property now serves as a grand yet intimate space for weddings and celebrations. The venue features a historic stone farmhouse with multiple reception spaces, such as a 225m² pergola, a 100m² air-conditioned Grange, and several terraces. Couples can host a secular ceremony under olive trees, beside lavender fields, or under the shade of a centuries-old oak tree, followed by a candlelit celebration extending into the night.
Accommodation
Comptoir Saint-Hilaire offers accommodation for up to 42 guests across 10 uniquely themed bedrooms and 5 mazets located throughout the estate. Each room offers private access, patios, and upscale bedding, designed for comfort and privacy. The interiors move away from traditional hotel style, focusing on personal touches and authenticity.
Additional accommodation options nearby include Mas de Terres Rouges, 5 minutes away with 16 additional beds, and Maison de la Fontaine in the village centre, just a 5-minute walk and suitable for 8 guests. Together, these offer flexible arrangements for larger groups without compromising proximity to the venue.
