Hello, my name is Brice.

This experience was born from a collaboration between myself and trusted local partners who have been welcoming international travelers to the Rhône Valley for decades. Together, we’ve designed an experience that brings to life three passions that have shaped my journey: wine, sport, and travel.

I’ve always loved racket sports (I’ve competed in badminton at a national level for many years) and my curiosity led me to discover pickleball while living in Canada. I immediately connected with the spirit of the game and the community around it. Back in France, I became actively involved in the sport’s development through several projects, including a private club currently under construction and partnerships with local brands.

I’m deeply proud of this region, its vineyards, its landscapes, and its heritage. For years, I’ve also welcomed guests in my own B&B, and sharing the Rhône Valley has always felt natural.

This retreat is the perfect way to bring everything together: the joy of hosting, the beauty of our wines and culture, and the simple pleasure of playing pickleball in an exceptional setting, supported by a professional receptive agency with long‑standing expertise in international tourism.

About the accomodation

Nestled in the hills overlooking the Rhône Valley, our accommodation is a charming, family‑run countryside hotel that has been welcoming guests for four generations. It’s a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, offering the perfect balance of comfort, authenticity, and relaxation — an ideal base for wine lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a true French escape.

The property sits beside a gentle stream and features a warm, inviting atmosphere with a breakfast room, bar, and a restaurant opening onto a large shaded terrace. The grounds include pétanque courts, an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, Nordic hot tubs immersed in nature, a riverside sauna, a fitness room, a cinema room, a game area, and a full indoor spa with sauna and hammam.

For this retreat, the hotel’s tennis court has been converted into four dedicated pickleball courts, available exclusively to our group with unlimited access — including evening play on request at no extra cost.

It’s a place designed for slowing down, enjoying the moment, and experiencing the Rhône Valley the way locals do: surrounded by nature, great food, and warm hospitality.
