The experience
Here, you are the hero of your stay
Welcome to La Galerie des Sorts Perdus, a one-of-a-kind interactive world where magic comes to life. Speak a spell and certain objects and parts of the set genuinely respond to your voice. Every detail has been designed to give you an original moment, out of time.
A set that responds
Lights, sounds, objects: the place responds to what you do. Like a real enchanted world, with no movie special effects.
An atmosphere out of time
Brick, ivy, lanterns, a starry sky and antique shop windows: total immersion, from the corridor to the pillow.
Want a preview? Cast the house spell and watch the sky light up above you.
The room
A cabinet of curiosities you sleep in
Enjoy a unique experience in an immersive room inspired by a world of magic and mystery. The room has a comfortable sleeping area, a private shower room and a dining nook. There is no kitchen on site, but breakfast is included.
To extend the experience without leaving, we offer meal platters to book in advance and enjoy on site: charcuterie, a drink and a pastry, for a delicious moment in your own world.
The space is entirely yours. We live on site, keep a discreet distance, and are available at any time if you have the slightest question.

The grounds
In the countryside, among horses and goats
The guesthouse sits in a calm, natural setting. In fine weather the garden and grounds are yours: a hammock under the trees, horses, goats, hens and tortoises you can approach and stroke. For their well-being, we simply ask you not to feed them.
Ideal for an original getaway, combining immersion, relaxation and exploring the region.
