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

“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.

Interview
CharlElie
Artist "Multiste"
Tell us what motivated you to join this project, how did you draw inspiration from the space and the nature around it ?
Poetry is a sap it insinuates itself, alive, between the fibers of our thoughts poetry must remain in motion like the wind, the rain or the thought the poetry clings to the branches and hides in the heart of the night when our sleepy bodies of having loved too much aspire only to the deserved rest of the warrior of peace, sheltered under a roof, wherever it may be, in a cave, a barracks, a hotel, a lodging, a protected area, a hammock at mic mac, on a box of straw or a spring mattress, in a barn or on a bed of leaves near my blonde that it is good made good good made near my blonde that it is good to sleep.
How did you chose to decorate the lodge that carries your signature?
I chose to simply trust my instincts, like a free balancer, the tightrope walker who dares to trust himself when he knows that the storm rises and that thunder roars, But he keeps going on because it’s an allegory of life.
