Grégoire Rousseau - Domaine du BandiatDomaine du Bandiat is brought to life by a warm and dedicated team, united by a shared desire to provide a truly sincere experience. From the moment you arrive, the welcome is natural and attentive, provided by men and women who, each in their own way, look after our guests’ comfort, dining, and well-being. From hospitality to restoration, every gesture contributes to creating a harmonious interlude, where nature, conviviality, and relaxation meet effortlessly.
There are places that seem to have been created simply to teach us how to breathe again. Domaine du Bandiat is one of them. At the edge of a dense forest, crossed by the river from which it takes its name, it unfolds its lodges of wood and glass across a landscape of profound gentleness. Far from the bustle of the world, every step here leads to tranquility. The rustle of leaves, the clarity of the water, and the warmth of the wood compose a natural symphony that remains undisturbed. Everything is designed for the visitor to ground themselves, find peace, and reconnect with the essential.
A restful stay
