About Us
Our Kitchen, Chefs and Staff
Pagnol / Atelier Grahn
The name of our Kitchen is a tribute to Marcel Pagnol, the French writer and director. He wrote extensively about the atmosphere and simple joie de vivre of typical Provence villages. Pagnol is just that, a community within a community, a little bit of Provence in our backyard.
We started to build this "creative center" my wife and I in 2019. It was our dream to have her art studio adjoining my kitchen surrounded by woods and garden. Finally in 2019 we decided ourselves to build on my Wife's ancestral land and thus our bucolic Pagnol and Atelier Grahn were born.
