Our Story
It All Began with a Dream...
During the quiet days of the COVID lockdown, Alain and I began dreaming of building our very own underground cottage.
What started as a rather fun and unusual idea soon became something very close to our hearts.
Together, we poured our creativity, love and energy into every little corner of this special place.
Decorating was never really Alain's favourite thing, but when it came to machinery and earthmoving, he was an absolute magician. Digging, lifting, moving and shaping the land came naturally to him, and he brought our ideas to life with remarkable skill.
Through his hard work and our shared imagination, our dream gradually became the unique and welcoming little home that stands here today, nestled in the heart of nature.
A Little Paradise to Share...
As the building work progressed, we realised that this was somewhere we wanted to share with others. With people who would appreciate the peace and quiet, the fresh country air and the simple beauty of the countryside around us.
Every detail of the cottage holds a little of the happiness we felt while creating it. From cosy corners where you can curl up with a book, to sunlit spots where the birds often come to visit.
Our hope has always been that everyone who stays here takes home a little of that same peace, happiness and closeness to nature that inspired us in the first place.
A Journey That Continues...
Today, I continue to bring to life the dreams and plans that Alain and I shared.
During 2026, my educational farm project is taking shape: a place where children and adults alike can meet our animals, get to know their different personalities and discover the simple pleasures of country life.
And in 2027, I hope to open a second holiday cottage, offering another welcoming retreat for visitors wishing to discover this beautiful little corner of Normandy.
Through all these projects, the heart of what I do remains the same: creating places filled with love, creativity and a deep connection to nature. Somewhere everyone can feel at home and rediscover life's simple pleasures.
