« « Les Étangs » is luxury accommodation. Politeness is never faked here, and staff are every bit as attentive as they are discreet. The « guests » seem to be bound together by a tacit code of respect, a respect for each other and for the environment. Time spent at Les Étangs is something akin to a long journey. You leave your old habits behind, learn how to « do nothing », rediscover the value of silence and the rare luxury of never having to be confronted with excess. You don’t go through Les Étangs - you give yourself. Nor do you stay there – you settle. And you thank generously attentive teamwork and a smart family for that. » (Julie Andrieu)
The Estate’s buildings are authentic 19th Century smallholdings, restored by local artisans using traditional techniques. All are different, and each has its own distinct rustic character. Each 4-star building contains one, two, three or five rooms with superb views over the lakes, prairies or forest.
