About

Domaine de la Fontaine is much more than a guesthouse: it's a life story, a family story.

A few years ago, an announcement profoundly changed our outlook on life. This upheaval led us to rethink our priorities, to look for a project that had meaning, for us and for our three children.

For several years, we have been developing this idea, with the desire to build something real, aligned with our values.

Then, almost as if it were obvious, an opportunity arose: that of buying back this family home, a place full of memories, where our eldest daughter took her first steps.

This place was already part of our history. We chose to give it a new life.

After a skills assessment that confirmed our intuition, a year of reflection on the plans, then a full year of work, the project gradually took shape.

We have invested a lot of energy, heart and attention in this renovation, with the desire to preserve the soul of the house while making it welcoming and comfortable.

This project also marked a turning point in our personal lives: I made the choice to leave salaried employment to devote myself fully to this new adventure, to be more present for our children and to offer them a peaceful living environment, in the heart of nature.

But very quickly, one thing became clear to us.

This place could not remain solely ours.

We wanted to share it.

This is how this gîte was born: a large open house, designed to welcome families, groups of friends, simple and precious moments of life.

A place where we can come together, slow down, and breathe.

Today, our greatest joy is to see this house continue to live on through you, your laughter, your reunions and the memories you create here in turn.
