When I was about 10 years old, I’d often help my dad out in the school holidays with the cabins he was working on on our family estate. It became a passion that I picked up again when I was working at Domaine des Grands Chênes in Rary, and am still at it here in Saint Léger aux Bois. I love that one of our guests was a 93-year-old gentleman who chose to stay in the tallest cabin; he explained that he wanted to spend the night alone up in the trees because he’d never been allowed to do so as a child. The magic that trees gift us is unending.
