Company information

Isabelle and Jonathan welcome you to La Doucelle and offer you: -to be inspired and recharged -to cultivate & cultivate oneself -to listen & listen to each other - to share & to meet differently. Inspired by "slow tourism", they made the bet to bring together music and well-being in a unique place and in a special atmosphere, to meet the needs of local tourism, more sustainable, more contemplative, and in reconnection with nature. Take advantage of our beautiful libraries, the works of our artist friends, our selections of musical playlists, our antique objects, the instruments that inhabit the place, our hammocks and deckchairs, and the time that passes more slowly, differently. .. On the program: slow down and reconnect to the essentials! To respect the environment and the slow philosophy, La Doucelle attaches great importance to minimizing its carbon footprint, and pays particular attention to its energy consumption (geothermal energy), the management of its waste (composting, sorting, zero waste), the reuse & upgrading (vintage furniture, repair, wabi sabi), sourcing of its products (100% organic, responsible or local, without toxic products).

The house, imagined as an invitation to relaxation, contemplation, reconnection with nature and the senses, has several comfortable spaces (large living rooms, dining room, fireplaces and cozy armchairs, contemporary art), a terrace overlooking the magnificent landscaped park of 5000m2 (with many trees and a small pond), a large vegetable garden of 500m2 with its vegetables and herbs. Gourmet table d'hôtes prepared with fresh produces from our vegetable garden and a selection of products from the surrounding region. Meals on order at least 24 hours before, offered on certain evenings of the week. Introduce yourself to sound therapy with Jonathan, in sound travel mode, and take ad...
