The Views From Relais de Saint Ser Inspired Cezanne

Where: Route de St Antonin, Puyloubier, France, 13114

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

You have absolutely no excuse not to be inspired by the views from your room at Relais de Saint Ser in Puyloubier, France. This view of Mont Sainte-Victoire from room 6 is similar to the view Paul Cezanne was diggin' on way back in 1900 when he painted Mont Sainte-Victoire — so you can and should be inspired to create something beautiful if you're waking up every morning to a view like this.

Reader C. sent us this shot of his view from Relais de Saint Ser from a recent stay, adding that "this cheap little hotel was such a great find." It certainly looks like an amazing find: the hotel, near Aix-en-Provence, has nine rooms and rates run at a mere 50 Euros for a single or twin room, and a "chambre triple" is only 75 Euros (about $65 and $100, respectively). If you want to hit Europe to find yourself all Eat, Pray, Love style to reinvigorate your spirit and get the ol' creative juices flowing, this is definitely not a bad place to start.

Check out the official website here — but careful, it's all in French.
