In one year, Le Tuba Club has become the essential address in Marseille. With its sleek but super polished 60s look, its simple and refined menu, its small private beach and its eco-responsible charter, the hotel ticks all the boxes of good taste and plunges us directly into a photograph of Slim Aarons. Tucked away in the small fishing village of Goudes outside of Marseille, Tuba could look like a small anonymous seaside hotel-restaurant, except that the address is unanimous and appears in all the press. What is it that makes this former diving club so attractive? Its unique location far from the hubbub of the city with its breathtaking view, its unique history and above all a retro aesthetic decoration finely balanced by the architect Marion Mailaender: vintage furniture and lighting, obsolete decorative objects flirting with kitsch , small bouquets of ubiquitous country flowers, cane fabric from Maison Thevenon, large bays open to the sea like marine paintings, sixties railing, palladiana floor and mellow yellow palette worthy of the heyday of Palm Springs and which smells of the summer... "This project was born from the desire of two overbooked entrepreneurs to create a simple and pleasant place to break while enjoying their friends.." The rooms A few meters from the restaurant, Le cabanon Tuba has 5 rooms with sea view. Like the rest of the premises, studied simplicity predominates with seagrass on the floor, plywood paneling, white organic cotton sheets, cordage or mottled lamps. and "pipe" coat racks created by artist Elvire Bonduelle. The restaurant This year, the young and talented chef Antoine Teychené takes over from Bruno Bousselmani and delivers every day his proposal of locavores recipes resolutely turned towards the sea. A la carte, a happy mix of Mediterranean influences: Sicilian sweets, Marseille grills, Provencal marinades, Greek, Nice or Roman salads ... In my bag Our "must-have" to chill at Tuba Club.

Le Château de la Haute Borde is an original guest house whose vocation is to bring together travelers and artists. Nestled in a wooded park in Loir-et-Cher, the 19th century building offers five stylishly decorated rooms that respect the environment. After a dip in the swimming pool, share your breakfast with the artists in residence and the trio of arty chatelaines who lead the boat. The story repeats itself! The Château returns to its past when women organized cultural and artistic events there in the 1930s before becoming a post-war hotel-restaurant and then a holiday home. Céline Barrière, Cécile Simon and Violette Platteau therefore remix the friendly and artistic history of the place by offering neat guest rooms in the middle of a haunt of artists and their creations. In an eco-responsible approach and a desire to promote the regional economy, the trio entrusted the renovation of the Château to conscientious local craftsmen who worked in concert with the architects Charles Marmion and Jeanne Lefrand of the MPM agency. The three partners wanted to create a peaceful and elegant place with sophisticated decoration while respecting virtuous specifications. The result is a refined and natural atmosphere bathed in a palette of shades of ocher and red, authentic materials such as hemp and lime screeds, brick and marble bathrooms or a cocciopesto floor (ancestral Italian technique) . Everywhere, pieces of furniture and vintage lamps of the XXth century are found here and there, such as a desk by Jean Royère and a sofa by Martin Visser, mixed with works of art and regional handcrafted furniture. "It is above all an inclusive place that tends to build a community with respect for the environment and others, a parenthesis, conducive to reflection and creation." The guests gather in the morning around a buffet made up of, among other things, homemade products such as jams or eggs from ... resident chickens! Customers can enjoy a small catering menu consisting of local products, salads from the vegetable garden, cakes and ice cream to eat in or take away as well as a selection of natural Loire wines. The chefs are also in residence and take turns every month to compose two dinners for the hosts. This year, Pierre Touitou, Laszlo Marie Badet and Amandine Sépulcre Crokeumel among others will work in the kitchen. Guests can walk freely in the art park and swim laps in the swimming pool. Staying at the Château de la Borde is an indirect act of support for artistic creation. The place allows to exchange with the artists, to discover their approach, even to participate in workshops and to attend happenings.

Inness, a newly opened hotel complex in the Hudson Valley, is an ode to nature and contemplation. An intimate refuge whose beauty resides in the simplicity modeled on the Protestant values ​​of the first Dutch settlers in the valley, and set in a setting where each point of view transports the guest to a landscape painting by the painter George Inness. The Catskills are to New York what the Cotswolds are to London! It is in this bucolic setting, located an hour and a half from New York City, that a team of aesthetes has just opened a hotel complex. In the middle of a 90 hectare park are dotted with cabins, an organic farm, a restaurant, a shop, tennis courts, two swimming pools, a spa (coming soon), a barn and a 9-hole golf course with a view impregnable on the surrounding hills. A clean and elegant haven for families and friends who praise nature, fine dining and outdoor activities, and who seek the wholeness that had drawn and inspired a century earlier, artists and writers subjugated by the landscapes, the changing seasons and the quality of life of the region. Inness aspires to become the home of a community animated by the love of nature and beauty and which would bring together both the hosts and the inhabitants of the region who came to benefit from their infrastructures. "Like the artists and writers of the 19th century, we chose the Hudson Valley which invites contemplation." L'hôtel The hotel has forty rooms divided between twelve cabins and the farm. The interior spaces were designed by the Post Company style office which drew its inspiration from the very sober architecture of the first Dutch settlers, a style characteristic of the region. A discreet and uncluttered luxury that gives rise to calm, discreet and comfortable spaces dressed in neutral colors and equipped with wooden furniture designed or mottled like the restaurant chairs from a Belgian church. Nothing ostentatious. The restaurant offers panoramic views of the Catskills and its setting sun. The menu is simple and basic and the ingredients come from local producers or from Inness's vegetable garden. Most of the food is cooked over a wood fire in the garden. The garden The estate covers 90 hectares cleverly landscaped by landscape designer Miranda Brooks in the spirit of 19th century naturalist paintings. The result is a subtle mixture of "wild" parts and other tame parts but all composed exclusively of local vegetation. In my bag Our "must-have" selection for a stay at Inness.

For your Valentine's Day, escape to the charming guest house of chef Cybèle Idelot and her husband, located in the heart of La Haute Vallée de Chevreuse. The couple welcomes you in a bucolic setting, and serves you signature cuisine prepared with plants picked that morning in their garden. Cybèle Idelot is one of the leaders of organic cuisine at the moment. Accompanied by her husband Franck, they opened in a former coaching inn in La Haute Vallée de Chevreuse, a guest house with five rooms and a restaurant - La Ruche - which offers delicate and responsible cuisine. The chef applies the green principles of Farm to Table that she learnt in in her Californian youth. On their estate, Cybèle and Franck maintain a dream vegetable garden and orchard which supplies La Ruche and La Table de Cybèle, their other restaurant located in Boulogne-Billancourt. The History Cybèle Idelot forged her natural convictions in San Francisco where she grew up. From an early age, his mother gave her a taste for fresh and healthy food that they bought together directly from local producers. She also introduced her to the principles of organic farming and recycling. Having become a chef, Cybèle applied these fundamentals from the start of her professional experience, whether she officiated in Saint-Barth or in the Hamptons. In 2013, she brought her responsible and zero waste cuisine to France with the opening of La Table de Cybèle. Building on the success of their restaurant and eager to follow through on their convictions, Cybèle and her husband set out to become almost self-sufficient and set off in search of land where they could run a vegetable garden and a permaculture orchard. They had a crush for a former post house installed in a wooded park near Paris! They decide to install a "farm-inn" there which they will equip with rooms and a restaurant. Their dream of permaculture is materializing and now supplies their two restaurants with plants, while ingredients of animal origin are sourced in a short circuit by local producers who respect the environment. The Table La Ruche offers sincere and creative cuisine and offers a light and conscientious seasonal menu for vegetarians and omnivores. "Artichoke, Oshitashi, Confit Egg Yolk, Sunflower Seeds, Brown Butter Sabayon", "Glénans Sea Urchin Cream, Roasted Cauliflower, Sweet Onion, Lacto Radish, Caper Powder, Trout Caviar from the Pyrenees" or "Roasted Butternut, Quinoa Risotto, buttermilk, Hazelnuts" are enough to stimulate our taste buds and whet our appetite. In addition to the list of wines grown in biodynamics, 125 references carefully selected by Franck. The Garden The Domaine's permaculture farm is spread over a large garden consisting of a 1000 m2 vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a mandala, an orchard and a beehive. Not to mention the wooded park! A hectare of happiness for these Land's lovers that their hosts like to visit. When she is not officiating in the kitchen, Cybèle works the earth, advised by a permaculturist who transmitted to her the essential principles of the concept. Since 2019, she has been planting and maintaining beautiful varieties of acclimatized seasonal vegetables, herbs, herbs and spices, edible flowers as well as berries and a wide variety of fruit trees. Enough to supply the two restaurants and gourmet baskets for passing biodiversity lovers. The Rooms Like the rest of the Domain, the four rooms and the suite are intended to celebrate nature: from their woody names (Oak, Linden, Birch, Poplar and Plane tree) to the natural materials and soft and neutral colors that dress them, the design of the rooms is simple and cozy. On the bathroom side, you will have the pleasure of soaping up with Parisian eco-responsible products from Huygens. Domaine les Bruyères 251, avenue de Neuville - Les Pideaux - 78950 GAMBAIS - 01 34 83 19 66 Opened from thursday to sunday evening. Double room from 170 euros.

Nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, L'Ovella Negra is a modern lodge that promotes simple pleasures and invites you to disconnect. The atmosphere is relaxed and the decoration is cozy and cozy. Here, time seems suspended and the main occupation is to "chill": we extend breakfast until brunch, we sing in front of a fire, we meditate by candlelight, we do yoga or, quite simply, we contemplate the wild landscape through the windows. At the bottom of the Incles Valley, one of the most idyllic corners of the Principality of Andorra, stands a building that seems straight out of a fairy tale and that escapes time. The Ovella Negra is a small, four-bedroom boutique hotel that celebrates a return to basics and letting go. The authentic borda (traditional mountain hut) stands in the middle of the mountain pastures overlooking the valley like the black sheep that graze there in summer, while its interior displays warmth and simplicity everywhere. The lodge invites you to come and enjoy its sweetness of life in all seasons. Simple activities can be practiced there: exploring the surrounding mountain on foot, on skis or on snowshoes, yoga lessons, discussions and laughter with friends around the fire while sipping a drink and sharing the chef's delicious meals. Prisca Llagostera, the happy founder of Ovella Negra, has long sought the ideal place where she could create such an atmosphere and found her ideal "spot" in 2017. Surrounded by a team of mountain lovers like she, the "little family" pampers its residents and reveals to them all the secrets of their beloved valley. The hotel Prisca Llagostera and her mother have thought of every corner of the Ovella Negra. Drawing on her experience at the Igloo hotel and ideas gleaned during her travels across South America, Prisca has imagined spacious, comfortable and intimate volumes where guests can feel at home. The ubiquitous wood brings warmth and naturalness, while wrought iron and polished concrete evoke the mineral side of the mountains that surround the hotel. A palette of copper and auburn colors, warm materials and subdued lighting complete the cozy side sought by the owner, while the large beds with organic cotton sheets, the ubiquitous candles, the Navajo fabric armchairs, the large communal tables and the central stove in the lounge invite comfort and conviviality. The restaurant The restaurant at the Ovella Negra is a real institution. Its chef, Sergi Simó is an authentic Andorran, mountain lover and connoisseur of traditional regional cuisine. Trained with the best chefs, he has developed a unique menu in which he revisits the classics of Catalan cuisine using local ingredients, in particular the truffle which perfumes many dishes. Foie gras, artichokes sautéed with cubes of ham and quail eggs or even the trinxat, a specialty of cabbage, potato and black sausage stimulate the taste buds of the hosts. The restaurant has become an excellent meeting point for hikers who meet there. On full moon nights, it is common to see groups walking along the Obac path which runs along the river. Some travel on foot, others by bicycle and in winter, people come on skis or snowshoes. Wanderings Each season brings its share of scenery and its panoply of colors. The valley turns from the fresh green of summer to the ochres of autumn, passing through the immaculate white of the snow in winter, to be covered again with wild flowers and fresh grass where the herds of sheep, cows and horses flock to graze from the spring. Whatever the weather, there is always an activity to do: a sunny day is ideal for walking to a lake, following the path along the river or sitting in the sun in an armchair facing the mountain. On rainy days, we play cards or read by the fireplace installed in the large sofas. And throughout the year, the hotel organizes yoga retreats, concerts resonate in the valley on summer nights, and if the place enchants you, you will even have the opportunity to celebrate your wedding there.

The beautiful days are coming back and our desire to escape with it. The opportunity to stay in one of the eco-responsible cabins of the Coucoo group. Five estates, five unique environments to which the architecture of the shacks has been able to adapt: ​​perched refuge and golf course at Les Grands Chênes, pioneer cabin at Les Grands Reflets, trapper's hut and Nordic bath at La Réserve, construction on stilts and spa at Les Grands Lakes, design and vineyards with grape varieties. On the program, adventure, Nordic baths, yoga, star gazing, gourmet breaks... very slow living holidays in a dream setting. When they created Coucoo in 2009, Gaspard de Moustier and Emmanuel de la Bédoyère wanted to fulfill their childhood dream above all : to live the life of Robinson for a few days. Their plan was a perfect response to the growing interest of tourists in glamping and green tourism, offering vacationers looking for disconnection the possibility of fully blending into nature to recharge their batteries. Driven by fundamental values, the Coucoo project responds to ecological, educational, sociological and environmental issues and thus ticks all the boxes of sustainable and responsible tourism: vast natural spaces, eco-designed reception facilities , enhancement of the territory and local craftsmen, protection and preservation of the environment. Ingeniously integrated into their environment, the architecture of each of the cabins scrupulously respects the wild environment that surrounds it, thus offering a variety of constructions; perched, floating, on stilts or vegetated. They are made of wood species that do not require any chemical treatment, insulated with sheep's wool and tastefully decorated simply and naturally. Specificity signed Coucoo, the Nordic baths installed on the terraces of many cabins, in which one immerses oneself with a quiet ecological conscience: Gaspard and Emmanuel have worked for a long time on the development of a unique innovation in the world allowing the potabilization of natural water without product chemical! We revel in the idea of ​​diving into a hot (and responsible) bath set up in the middle of a lake and the forest... Another singularity of the stay, each Robinson is offered on arrival a bag containing all the paraphernalia necessary for his getaway, from the access card to his cabin, to the essential headlamps, small bags dedicated to selective sorting as well as a "Coucoo charter" detailing many tips on respecting the environment. Also, each area offers the possibility of ordering gourmet baskets sourced from the best local producers, thus ensuring the promotion of territorial agricultural and artisanal know-how. From breakfast to dinner, you can savor the regional delicacies delivered in charming baskets. And the estate market offers the possibility of bringing a little dream home... After two domains established in the Oise, the duo duplicated the model in the vineyards of Franche-Comté and Vaucluse, and in the Territoire de Belfort. And on the crest of their popularity, five new domains will open by 2025, including one in Italy. Enough to guarantee everyone a very nice holiday. coucoo cabanesdesgrandschênes cabanesdelaréserve cabanesdesgrandsreflets cabanesdesgrandslacs cabanesdesgranscépages photo credit - coucoo cabanes © elsa cyril - lucas madani

Farm to Table is the latest fooding trend. Samia Gharet and Pierre-Louis Guérin apply this concept to their organic farm in the Pays de Redon in southern Brittany. Their restaurant, La Morinais, which has just been awarded the Ecotable label, serves four days a week a unique menu freshly prepared by chef Calixte Martinière from their own exploitation or supplied from neighboring farms. The small family farm in La Morinais has been offering traditional cuisine for thirty years. The new generation is adapting to the times, and bringing its agriculture and restaurant into the organic era. They have just been labeled Ecotable (3 macaroons), a guarantee of eco-responsible practices and sustainable food. At the head of this initiative, Pierre-Louis Guérin, the heir to the farm, and his wife Samia Gharet, work to offer almost all the dishes on the menu with all their hearts and arms. From the management of the herd of Landes de Bretagne ewes and rustic poultry, to the upkeep of the vegetable garden, herbs and orchard, they offer top quality products to the chef for the preparation of the menu. And to complete the cook's needs, they get their supplies from around thirty local certified organic producers: meat, dairy products, drinks... " For us, being a farmer means, on our small scale, being an actor in biodiversity. This is why we have chosen organic farming.." Poached egg, fresh grass jus and savory puff pastry, Vegetable pie with basil gribiche sauce, Breton black pie veal breast with baby vegetables or tortea de blea, hay ice cream... The chef, Calixte Martinière, dedicates his creativity to offer a unique menu from the harvest of the day. A succulent and refined starter-main course-dessert praised by customers on the web. La Morinais keeps the promise of a treat and a charming evening in a bucolic setting, and also offers the possibility of prolonging the rural magic by spending the night in the gîte or in one of the small wooden cabins set up in a meadow surrounded by trees.
