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.

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.
Interview

Tell us what motivated you to join this project, how did you draw inspiration from the space and the nature around it ?
The idea of gaining height to look at nature and the space of the lodge immediately interested me. The absence of boundaries between interior and exterior allows for a real dive into the heart of the forest, which resonates with my photographic work. By choosing to place photographs of the Hameau de la Reine, from my various series on Versailles, in the “Trianon” lodge, it is echoing the atmosphere that Marie-Antoinette wanted when creating the Hameau de la Reine estate. Nature, rusticity and beauty mingle voluptuously here.

Claire Adelfang received her training at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux‐Arts de Paris, from which she graduated in 2010. Her photographs and videos were discovered by the public during exhibitions produced by the association Les amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2010 and 2011 following the prizes she won (agnès b prize in 2009 and Thaddaeus Ropac prize in 2010).
His work has been exhibited in several public and private institutions including the Bernard Margrez Cultural Institute, the Palais de Tokyo, the Mac Val, the European House of Photography, the Tours Opera. In 2016, the Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans dedicated his first solo exhibition to him in a museum. In 2018, the Château de Versailles invited her to exhibit her series on the Queen’s Hameau in the rooms of the Petit Trianon. She was notably nominated for the 2013 Meurice Prize, the 2013 MasterCard Prize, the BMW Art Makers Prize in 2021 and one of her videos was part of the 2013 Nuit Blanche program in Paris in the form of an installation within the Louvre Oratory.
The artist’s work is present in the collections of the Château de Versailles as well as in the collections of the Bernard Magrez Cultural Institute, the European House of Photography, the Musée d’Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne, the Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans, Blackstone London, and JP Morgan. His work was also the subject of a commission for several photographs in 2017 for the Hôtel de Crillon. These works are present in the suites and private lounges of the Hotel. Since 2015, she has had a partnership with the Paris National Opera to carry out a photographic project there and this project is currently continuing. In 2023-2024, she had a project with the Tours Opera where she was hosted in residence to produce a series of photographs. A personal exhibition presenting this project on the Tours Opera and different series of his work will take place in 2026 at the Château de Tours.
