During the winter of 2024, La Petite Auberge<\/em> underwent a little transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t a complete overhaul \u2014 more like a collection of thoughtful upgrades that, together, make a big difference for your holiday in 2025.
From the pool to the garden, everything has been designed with your comfort and enjoyment in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca6 A Refreshed Pool for Peaceful Summer Days<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last summer, a technical issue gave our pool quite a challenge. The water turned, and our old filtration system struggled to cope. So we listened to expert advice \u2014 and made some smart changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We installed a more powerful filtration system and took the opportunity to switch to salt water<\/strong>.
Why? Because it\u2019s gentler on the skin<\/strong>, more eco-friendly<\/strong>, and easier to manage<\/strong> thanks to a new automatic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the work was done by Baptiste himself \u2014 learning new skills along the way, and taking great pride in making things better, one step at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 A New Look, a New Atmosphere<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once we decided to upgrade the filter, we thought \u2014 why not refresh the liner too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous sandy-toned liner was getting a little tired. We hesitated: should we stick with the warm lagoon feel we knew, or go for something new?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, we chose a soft light grey liner<\/strong> \u2014 more modern, yet calm and elegant.
The result? A crystal-clear blue water that sparkles in the sun and brings a fresh, peaceful vibe to the whole space. We love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddf1 Stone Wall Finish for a Touch of Charm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The wall along the pool also needed some care. Baptiste rolled up his sleeves again and covered it in a beautiful stone cladding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a detail, but it makes all the difference \u2014 adding natural charm and giving the whole area a more cohesive, welcoming look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another hands-on project, made with patience and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f A Garden That Welcomes Everyone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year, we had the pleasure of hosting several group bookings<\/strong> \u2014 with all three cottages rented out at once. Up to 20 guests, all enjoying time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was wonderful \u2014 but we were running out of garden furniture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we invested in two large outdoor tables<\/strong> with matching chairs, so everyone can dine together in the shade.
And because nothing goes to waste, our older picnic tables now sit in quiet corners of the garden \u2014 perfect for a morning coffee, a relaxed lunch, or a sunset ap\u00e9ritif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf3f Renovation With Heart<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These upgrades may not be flashy. But they\u2019re meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
