LIVING SETTINGS
We offer photographers and filmmakers a wide range of authentic film sets in a historic farmhouse dating back to the 1750s, surrounded by 14 hectares of land and a variety of landscapes.
INDOOR SETS
The main farmhouse was built in 1750 and is a typical “Maison Maître” of that period. High ceilings, limestone walls, and many period details give the house a romantic touch, with numerous references to its former use as a winery. Outbuildings such as the wine hall, a barn, stables, and sheds surround the estate. Parts of the house have been renovated, while other parts remain original and unrenovated. There is also a wide range of props from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, as well as old tools, furniture, and interior furnishings. The existing interiors can be changed if necessary, subject to agreement.
​
OUTDOOR SETS
The estate covers 14.5 hectares and incorporates a variety of landscapes, including a tropical and a mediterranean garden surrounding the house, as well as a vegetable garden, a professional cut flower garden, two orchards, and soon a rose garden. The property also features a hill with wildflower meadows, a valley that flows into a stream, and four hectares of forest. The landscape around the property is mostly undeveloped and offers views of several lakes and other hills. The property stretches from east to west and has both sunny and shady areas. Rainbows are a common phenomenon, as are morning fog and evening sunsets with spectacular colors.
