CHEZ PAULE
WOOD-FIRED ROTISSERIE AND TERROIR CUISINE
Local, seasonal produce is selected from attentive producers who share our taste for excellence.
Aubrac meats, free-range poultry and the day’s catch from Gruissan are offered by the piece.
Grilling, flambéing and carving take place before the dining room, at the hearth counter.
Carefully selected woods, including vine stumps, allow for delicate smoking.
Elegant period tableware adorns the tables. Tureens and serving dishes, also dating from the early 1900s, invite guests to share gourmet dishes such as Lapin Chasseur, the signature dish—what a pleasure to help oneself again to the delicious sauces!

Customer review
A delightful evening! Many thanks again to the entire Chez Paule team for their kindness, professionalism and, above all, for treating us to these wonderful menus. The tableware is magnificent. An excellent time, as always, at l’Hospitalet.
WOOD-FIRED ROTISSERIE AND TERROIR CUISINE
Generous country loaves, sliced to order, are served.
The condiments are equally considered at the table: selected peppers, fine and coarse salt from Gruissan, mustards, and olive oils from our estates.
A trolley of cheeses from local farms and Paule’s desserts bring the meal to a close.
A daily dish and wine are also offered on the blackboard, celebrating the market and the seasons, and inviting the discovery of new terroir pairings.
Wine, too, invites guests to discover the richness of the region’s terroirs: the Héritage range pairs the great Languedoc appellations with the dish or product
CUSTOMER REVIEW
An excellent address at the heart of the vineyard.
Traditional recipes reimagined by a talented chef. Exceptional wines offered at cellar-door prices (Clos d’Ora, …).
An excellent family meal this Sunday!
CHEZ PAULE
An atmosphere by Christian Collot
The authenticity and tradition of pale stone and wood are paired with contemporary design in Terracotta tones, creating a welcoming, warm atmosphere.
A rotisserie grill fireplace, crafted by a local artisan, presides over the stone-walled dining room.
The cathedral ceiling is adorned with beams and handcrafted terracotta light fittings.
The light oak furniture draws inspiration from the art of cooperage. Banquettes and round tables encourage conviviality.
A period dresser displays the Gérard Bertrand wine collection. An adjoining patio offers terrace lunches, extending the summer’s pleasures.
The dining-room team wear relaxed beige chino attire, white Mao-collar shirts and blouses, and denim aprons, evoking bistronomic service and paying tribute to Nîmes’ celebrated regional fabric.

Ambience: A beautiful setting, lovely décor and a warm atmosphere; we had a wonderful time.
CHEZ PAULE, HERITAGE OF LANGUEDOC
Pays tribute to Paule Bertrand, born on the symbolic date of 1 January 1900. The first generation at the origin of the Bertrand family’s winemaking tradition, she planted in 1920 the now century-old Carignan parcel, foreshadowing the birth of the Villemajou estate.
The life she led with courage and boldness is intertwined with the great historical and wine-making events of the last century, at the head of a family of nine children. In a handwritten journal intended for them, she recounts the anecdotes that punctuated her life in the Corbières and, like Proust’s madeleines still vivid in Gérard Bertrand’s memory, the delicious recipes she lovingly prepared for family meals.
