Our Story

Domaine Bonneblond is a hidden gem, nestled deep in the greenery of the Auvergne, in central France. Here, where winding rivers meander through the landscape and towering trees watch over you during a peaceful walk, you’ll find space and tranquility. Their branches provide the perfect foundation for building adventurous treehouses. At sunrise, you can join a yoga class overlooking the fields or take an ice bath in the lake. This is that one special place where you, with your family, friends, or even alone, can find the peace and adventure you’ve been longing for.

Just a three-hour drive south of Paris, in the middle of nowhere, you’ll find our campsite. As you turn off the road and enter the grounds, a winding path leads you to the heart of the domain. With love and enthusiasm, we are creating a place at Bonneblond where peace, nature, and adventure come together.

Our vast 70-hectare estate offers endless opportunities for everyone: from forest dwellers and little fairies to brave knights, young troubadours, yoga enthusiasts, and cyclists. Bonneblond is a place where lifelong friendships are made and love stories are celebrated.

What to Expect

In the courtyard, families gather to play games, read books, or toast to a wonderful holiday together during happy hour. Are you looking for an intimate family getaway with different accommodation options? A place where children can find playmates and you can enjoy shared meals? Where you can take advantage of our lunch service or simply relax by the swimming lake, pool, or trampoline? Then Domaine Bonneblond is the perfect place for you!

A Special Experience in 2025

For an extra touch of luxury and relaxation, we will be offering weekly yoga classes in 2025, with the option of private lessons. Choose from a relaxing recovery flow, a vinyasa session, an energizing power flow, or a beginner’s class.

This year, Lideweij is focusing on developing our vegetable garden and food forest. We hope to soon start using our own fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, and herbs in the kitchen.

Every day, we serve a table d’hôte (also known as “what the chef serves”), where you can enjoy delicious homemade meals in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We also offer takeaway lunch options, including wraps, sandwiches, and salads for a quick and tasty bite.

Who Are We?

Since October 2023, Dana and Eva have been working towards a dream: creating a unique glamping destination in the heart of nature in Saint-Désiré, central France. Just over a year later, in December 2024, we packed up and officially emigrated—full speed ahead! With the help of family and friends, we are transforming Domaine Bonneblond into a place where you can enjoy glamping, celebrate weddings, and join yoga retreats.
