*** The Café de l’Espérance remains open during the hotel's closure. *** The Saint-James occupies buildings designed in 1989 by the famous architect Jean Nouvel. They nestle in the delightful little village of Bouliac, in a garden fragrant with lemon trees and antique roses. Inspired by the old tobacco drying lofts, four pavilions, linked by a gallery, create a modern pure space. Far away, you can see the Landes of Gascogne forest, the biggest collection of maritime pines in Europe. The gourmet cuisine is one of the major attractions of the Saint James: the chef serves cuisine which is full of flavour and based on local market ingredients, rounded off by the selection of wines from an outstanding cellar and panoramic views of Bordeaux.

Cook like a chef

Gastronomy, some say, is the art of sharing. That's why chefs are so keen to share their passion for the region and its produce with amateur cooks, young and old, beginner or experienced. To embark on a culinary odyssey or explore a classic from French cooking, join Côté Cours, the cooking workshops led by the Saint-James team. Discover trade secrets and useful techniques from professionals, and give free rein to your talent in a friendly and empowering setting.

Wine from the garden

At the heart of the estate, 900 organically farmed Merlot vines produce between 400 and 600 bottles of Vin du Jardin (or ‘Garden Wine’) each year. Guided by consultant oenologists from Derenoncourt, the Saint-James gardener oversees cultivation of this micro-production through to harvest. This exclusive vintage is served only at the hotel’s bar and restaurants–and if your stay happens to coincide with the annual harvest, you are welcome to join in the grape picking.
