Domaine ForrestA 14th-century manor, unique cabins and the art of slow living in the Loire Valley
Less than an hour from Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand and Saint-Étienne, Domaine ForRest invites you to discover a different pace of life, surrounded by nature in the heart of the Loire Valley, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. A 14th-century manor, a 6,230 m² wooded park, and a handful of unique accommodations nestled among the greenery… but above all, peace and quiet. Here, you can escape without going far: a unique stay combining the charm of a historic manor with the magic of unusual accommodation, offering a slower, more immersive and more personal way to travel.
“ Escape, without going far “
« Here, we don’t welcome customers. We welcome guests. »
Sleep in history, wake up in nature
The old stone walls tell seven centuries of history; the trees whisper the present. Each accommodation has its own unique atmosphere: no two stays are ever the same, and if you wish, you can even change your retreat during your visit.
The charm of the past, the comfort of today — without extravagance or pretence. Between unique cabins nestled in a preserved natural setting and a manor reinvented over time, the estate brings together heritage, nature and disconnection.
Come as you are
Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or simply looking to slow down? We adapt our meals, our attention and our recommendations to your needs. A homemade basket delivered to your accommodation, breakfast included, brunch and late check-out to extend your escape, tailor-made massages… Here, you are not a booking reference: you are our guests.
Luxury is silence
A seasonal swimming pool, a wellness area, and a large park to walk, read or simply do nothing — home to rare tree species including a bamboo grove, sequoia, ginkgo biloba, American oak and a magnificent blue cedar. Close to the cities, yet hidden in the countryside: a change of scenery without constraints, perfect for a weekend escape.
Our story
Looking for a different way of life, we fell in love with this old manor full of history, its dry-stone pond and its tree-filled park. The arrival of our second child accelerated our departure from the grey streets of Lyon, as we searched for a place that matched this new chapter in our lives. Today, we continue to invest in the restoration of the manor every year: preserving this heritage means allowing its story to live on — and our guests are part of it. Many tell us they feel they are contributing, in their own way, to bringing this special place back to life. This is perhaps what truly makes us different: an estate that lives, evolves and takes people along on its journey.
“Domaine ForRest — a romantic and authentic retreat, just a short distance from the city.”
