The Lodge

Efflorescences par Cédric Porchez

A special lodge, probably the most romantic one… set on the edge of a pond where animals come to drink and relax, Efflorescences offers two terraces, one of which is equipped with a sauna. It is therefore suitable for people with reduced mobility. On one side you can find a private jacuzzi tub, on the other side you have a sauna. Inside you can find a canopy bed with white fabrics, light and pur like Cédric Porchez’s pictures printed on a Japanese paper which seems to fly in their frames.

Efflorescences is a white and woody lodge open on both sides to fully enjoy the nature and lights through the Douglas fir near the pond. Perhaps you will share your breakfast with a deer or a pheasant. This lodge is available for people with reduced mobility.

The benefits of a hotel in the trees

Our lodges have the layout of a hotel suite, bringing you the same level of hospitality, comfort and service you would expect from a hotel. With a living area of 35 sq. m, nestled 4m high in the trees, all of our lodges are fitted with a fully equipped bathroom, Italian shower, separate toilets, and mini bar with hot and cold drinks to satisfy your desires at any time of the day. Each lodge extends into a 25 sq. m terrace that includes a private spa. Only “Efflorescences”, our lodge adapted for people with reduced mobility (PRM), is on the ground. It offers 2 terraces, one of which is above a pond, and has a complete spa: sauna and massaging jacuzzi. Everything has been designed to ensure complete privacy and allow you to fully immerse yourselves in nature.

Design, brightness and openness
- Architecte : Isabelle Poulain
- Construction and Cladding : Rémi Becherel - Nid Perché
- Stairs : Laurent Garreau - Le Terrier
“Light, osmosis with the forest, transparency, space” inspired the design of our 18 lodges. Built on stilts, from wood species present in the surrounding forest – douglas, chestnut, oak – our lodges are real, warm and cosy suites. Their large windows and open terraces, equipped with a private spa, promote an harmonious dialogue between the interiors and the forest. And for the final touch, each lodge has been designed by a contemporary artist.

A relaxing Soak

Alone in the world… Slip into hot, enveloping water directly on your terrace, whenever you wish. A timeless moment of intimacy and relaxation.

Digital Detox

To optimize your immersion in nature and to wake your senses, we have deliberately chosen not to include Wifi and TV in our lodges.
You will nevertheless find:

a walkie-talkie in your room, connected to the reception, for all your requests
a free WiFi connection and a large screen in the common areas of the hotel

Walk or not

Walking is the best way to get around and explore our forest and the woods that surround it (the W.H.O recommends 10,000 steps a day to be healthier!). However, electric carts are provided for ease of travel, in case of necessity or a momentary lack of energy… here everything is allowed.
