The garden offers guests a unique experience with its ecological pool filled with our own natural spring water, a petanque field and outdoor table tennis. The rectangular minimalistic pool, with its natural filtering and regeneration ponds, rather resembles a genuine lake blending into the garden.

The pool deck also offers another spot to organize romantic candle light dinners, group dinners, seminars or photo shoots.
