Seven chalets, seven nests of greenery

Sleep snug in a nest

Designed in 1997 by the architects Édouard François and Duncan Lewis, the chalets are nestled into the ground and entirely surrounded by green walls, like birds' nests set among the trees.

With their many glass walls, nature is everywhere: from every window, you feel cradled in a cocoon of greenery. A soothing, restorative experience.

Set apart across the grounds, away from the forest house, they guarantee peaceful nights, even when the evening runs late.

In every chalet

  • A bright living room opening onto the trees
  • A terrace or outdoor corner sheltered by the green wall
  • Fully equipped bedrooms with single beds
  • A bathroom and WC on the ground floor, and more upstairs (one single-storey chalet is accessible to guests with reduced mobility)
  • A kitchen with everything you need to cook
  • Electric heating

Each chalet is named after a figure of speech — allegory, epitrope… Hence the name of the place: Les Tropes.
