The Growing Green House

Invent. Welcome. Grow.

  • Invent

    We started with a huge farm building, full of history, and decided to reinvent it. Our aim? To create group accommodation in keeping with our ecological values. We didn't just draw up plans, we got to work too!

  • Welcome

    For over 4 years, we've had the pleasure of welcoming groups to our former cowshed, which we've completely renovated and transformed into a large-capacity gîte. This group accommodation is always full, and even more so in fine weather! It's a real pleasure to see this place come alive and to share it with our guests all year round.

  • Grow

    The adventure continues! We're going to create a large workspace in one of our buildings, designed to host company meetings, seminars and workshops. And this is just the beginning: there are still many buildings to renovate and transform. Every step we take brings us closer to our vision of a dynamic place where people can come together to shape new and meaningful ecosystems.

f you compare the house to our initial project, we're not too far off, it's just that we got a bit carried away with the scale! But that's become less of a problem today, because we've realised that we need to take the time to write this story and design this place as it grows. The advantage of its size is that it opens the door to a multitude of possibilities. It's true that the budget limits put a brake on things (they sent a lot of ideas down the drain, probably because they weren't realistic enough!), but they also act as a decanter, and that's pretty good when you're moving forward with such a titanic project.

Welcome

Originally, it was a huge cowshed, with an old part and a newer part. We wanted to give it a new lease of life, by creating group accommodation that was warm, comfortable and respectful of our ecological values. It wasn't always easy, but the result is just like us! Today, this large-capacity gîte, which can accommodate up to 12 people, is open to families and friends in search of moments of sharing, summer and winter alike.

Grow

While part of the main building is now used by families and friends as a green retreat, there's still a long way to go. The renovation of the rest of the building continues, and with it our vision comes to life. Our next challenges? Moving the vegetable garden and transforming the old tobacco drying shed into a genuine reception area. Growing for us means creating and developing a living ecosystem, a place that evolves with those who take part, a place where ideas take root and become reality.
