Amidst the forests and lakes of Nouvelle-Aquitaine lies Domaine des Étangs — an estate with a 13th-century château where time slows down and harmony emerges from the dialogue between art, nature, and French art de vivre. A recipient of two Michelin Keys, the resort offers a rare immersion into heritage: from Gallo-Roman thermal baths to contemporary art installations organically woven into the landscape.

Rooms and cottages, carefully preserving original interior details, blend historical charm with modern comfort.

Gastronomy at Dyades restaurant (one Michelin star) follows a farm-to-table philosophy: the chef creates dishes using produce from the estate’s own kitchen garden and local farms.

Guests can enjoy spa rituals in the restored water mill Le Moulin, guided walks with the forester along protected trails, boating on the lake, opportunities to discover life on the working farm, and much more.

Location: The resort is located in Massignac, 2.5−3 hours from Paris by train and 1.5 hours by car from Bordeaux.
