Our story - Two family homes in Landrais

Our story
2022 - A manor house and a year of construction
In mid-2022, we bought a manor house in Landrais. It had character, spacious rooms, a soul, and a considerable amount of work ahead of us. It would last more than a year.
The guiding principle is reflected in the name we've given it: to preserve the period style, the materials, the proportions, and to subtly incorporate modern comforts without them overwhelming everything. Neither a museum-house nor a disguised new build. The Timeless.
The renovations were extensive, but they were completed in the most beautiful way: we celebrated our wedding there, in the semi-covered area. Our first guests arrived in June 2024.
2024 The Longhouse Next Door
In March 2024, a typical Aunis family farmhouse became available 350 meters from L'Intemporelle. It was this proximity that convinced us.
What appeals to us here is the atmosphere: bucolic, very green, with large spaces where you can breathe. We are completely redesigning the floor to create beautiful, separate bedrooms, designed for large families.
This time, everything happened quickly. Very quickly. We had to decide and act in a short time, as a family... and perhaps that's what we remember most: the moments of connection we forged amidst the construction. The first bookings opened at the end of July 2024.
2025 - The Priory, and a fresh perspective on our homes
In June 2025, we are opening our third establishment: Le Prieuré de Chervettes, a former 18th-century wine estate dedicated to weddings, private events and seminars.
Until then, we thought we were only hosting travelers. The Priory opened our eyes. What we had built in Landrais—entire houses, available for private rental, with real spaces for living and working together—met exactly what some teams were looking for. Not a seminar room. A home.
Today
Our three venues complement each other. The Priory hosts large gatherings. The Timeless and The Authentic offer more intimate formats, separately or together: a tribe on vacation, a team coming to put their ideas in the countryside, a few days of work away from the office.
These are family homes. That's how we keep them alive.
