Nicolas Galtier Gallery—an unusual designer bed and breakfast in the Languedoc region
La Galerie Nicolas Galtier is an unusual gallery and designer bed and breakfast near the beach in Leucate-village, in the Aude region of Languedoc Roussillon.
Nicolas Galtier is a painter who is inspired by Italian art. In particular, he is taken by the Quattrocento, a period of intense artistic development in the 15th century when the arts reconnected with Antiquity, decorative arts, and tapestry. La Galerie bed and breakfast resembles its owner, with an interior design that features his works in subtle hues, sometimes ornamented with gold or silver leaf. Among his latest are paintings that react to light, creating a surprising and ever-changing décor. This serene universe is housed in a 17th century mansion that has been renovated and transformed into an extraordinary bed and breakfast. Every room is unique, blending 18th century furniture with pieces signed by designers like Pierre Paulin, Bertoia, Saarinen, Ron Arad, and Philippe Starck.
La Galerie Nicolas Galtier bed and breafast, a remarkable and elegant setting for a relaxing stay in the Aude, just an hour from Figueras in Spain.
