Our story
Once upon a time in 2003, a dreamy chapter began for a Dutch couple who set their hearts on a charming domain, a place so captivating it was destined to be shared. That’s where our story begins, with Ellen and Paul, the loving duo behind Le Grand Biard.
With a sprinkle of daring, a spoonful of hospitality, and sleeves forever rolled up, Ellen and Paul embarked on a journey not just to make this enchanting domain their own, but to open its doors to friends and strangers alike.
The greatest compliment for Ellen? It’s the simple joy when guests feel at home. No airs of a castellan here; authenticity is the name of the game. “Just being myself,” Ellen says, “and seeing that resonate with our guests – that’s the real magic of Le Grand Biard.”
So here we are, not just a domain, but a living storybook where each guest is both a character and a co-author. Since 2003, Le Grand Biard has been more than a destination; it’s a testament to the joy of sharing and the beauty of community.
We invite you to step into our world, where every stay weaves into the fabric of this ongoing, beautiful story. Your next chapter awaits…
Come, be a part of our grand tale. 
No Castles in the Air, just heartfelt Moments
Imagine this: a toast under the vast skies, where Ellen, with a twinkle in her eye, shares the essence of Le Grand Biard. “It’s a feeling,” she says, “a heartwarming nudge that whispers, ‘You’ve got to share this beauty!’ And that’s exactly what we do. This grandeur, it’s not meant for just one; it’s a treasure to enjoy collectively, to cherish together.”
Paul nods in agreement, his upbringing echoing the same sentiment. “In my family, the door was always open, the table endlessly extending. We’ve kept that tradition alive here at Le Grand Biard. Our home is your home, our time is shared with you. If Ellen sees a smile on a guest’s face, that’s the world set right.”.
