Les Cabanettes
Chez
Gaëlle Bihr et Aaron Redlin
Fabien Dendievel
Designed by Armand Pellier in the late 1960s, Les Cabanettes, an architectural oddity in the heart of the Camargue, has lost none of its modernity. Taken over by Gaëlle Birh and Aaron Redlin, it has been reborn as an arty hot spot, combining the heritage of the Trente Glorieuses with the raw elegance of the South.
At the end of the 1960s, architect Armand Pellier created an architectural masterpiece for hotel owners Louise and Marc Berc that remains incredibly modern to this day. Now at the helm, Gaëlle Birh and Aaron Redlin have breathed new life into the hotel. Les Cabanettes, a veritable architectural oddity in the heart of the Camargue and a highly Instagrammable masterpiece of the Trente Glorieuses, has once again become the place to meet before the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival to prepare for it, during it, of course, and after it to debrief and think about the next one. In short, it has become one of the most desirable hot spots around. Despite a few minor inconveniences due to the construction period, such as partitions that were a little flimsy, for example.
