Youza Ecolodge

Chez
Augustin Zeller & Mathieu Kerdraon

Nestled in 32 hectares of forest, Youza Ecolodge offers a complete immersion in nature. Perched or on the ground, its 18 lodges, designed as observatories, provide an authentic reconnection. Here, nothing is superfluous: just the breath of centuries-old oaks and the slowing of time.

Imagine yourself like a Robin Hood, listening to the whisper of the forest, watching it awaken at dawn, seeing it shake off the last traces of winter. This is what Augustin Zeller and Mathieu Kerdraon envisioned for Youza Ecolodge. In total, there are 18 lodges, either perched or on the ground, all designed as true observatories by Cent 15 Architecture, plus one communal lodge, spread across a 32-hectare forest estate. So, can you hear these centuries-old oaks breathing? No unnecessary volume or decoration here: everything is designed solely to reconnect you with nature. Children learn to build a cabin, you enjoy a yoga session; a basket of 100% local products is delivered to your lodge so you can cook while watching the forest fall asleep…

3 good reasons to go

  1. because here in the middle of the forest, whether perched high up or not, you will forget everything else
  2. because nothing beats a good forest bath
  3. because, for kids, it's a bit like paradise.
