Four Seasons ceasing management of FS Provence
This just announced:
Effective October 1, 2012, Four Seasons will be concluding its management of Four Seasons Resort Provence at Terre Blanche. The Resort’s Owner, Terre Blanche Management SAS (“TBM”), will assume self-management of the Resort under the name “Terre Blanche Hotel and Spa” as of October 1, 2012.
As you may know, Four Seasons is a management company that operates the Resort on behalf of TBM. Although Four Seasons has managed the Resort since it opened in 2004, TBM would like to take the Resort in a new direction focusing on sport tourism. As such, Four Seasons and TBM have agreed to terms that will allow a transition to independent management.

Already talked about in the FS plans thread:

It's such a shame. How quickly will the property fall into the crapper once it turns over?

Judging by the way the owner operates the golf café, after taking over the management from FS late 2010, I hold out little hope for this resort. I gather that many guests have already cacelled for this summer after hearing the news.

In the French labour system it will not be the owner deciding whether they are given jobs unless they close completely for at least 25 months consecutively.

Most, I hear today, will move within FS. It could be, though, that some who cannot move from Provence due to family ties may apply to the owner for a job within the new set-up.

The top management will surely move with Four Seasons (although at the rate FS is going there is going to be a lot of movement).
