Domaine Saint-Roch, a multifaceted eco-place
A natural setting spanning 50 hectares: the residence takes place at Domaine Saint-Roch, a vast eco-place nestled in the heart of the forest, surrounded by meadows, clearings, paths, orchards and a river.
An ideal environment for walking, immersing oneself in the living world
and reconnecting deeply. The estate offers a wide diversity of spaces — private or shared rooms, dormitories, meeting rooms and coworking areas, warm communal lounges, a shared kitchen, outdoor spaces and a wellness area — as well as a living ecosystem: collective housing, a democratic school, agroecological market gardening, and many projects in development (citizen café, processing workshop, bakery, shop, etc.).
A place designed for deep work, gentle cohabitation, long encounters, calm,experimentation, creativity, extended stays and renewal.
