A little presentation is necessary...

My career in tourism is not new...

After working at Club Méditerranée as a "GO" for several years, managing a beach in Cannes on the Croisette for 9 years and many other adventures, I came back to Burgundy to settle in the family property, the Moulin de la Roche.

I came up with this «Chic, nature and design» concept in 2013 with my architects from the Ar-Tek architectural practice, Richard and Vincent Cretin.

It’s a real pleasure for me to share my little corner of paradise with you. As you’ll have gathered, I’m passionate about my work, which is why I ask that you treat my cottages with the utmost respect.

99,98% satisfied customers since 2013! This place is magical

The Pont Roche estate is part of an "intimate slow tourism" only 2 accommodations.

What sets me apart is that I’ll welcome you personally.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Cube or the Cabane.

Frédéric Dansert

F.A.Q.

First of all, a small but important clarification: we are not a hotel.

Both of our accommodation options are listed in the ‘unusual and unconventional accommodation’ category because they are built on stilts. But be warned! They’re nothing like the sort of ‘unusual’ accommodation you’d typically find – such as most tree houses, yurts or caravans – which often offer very basic facilities (dry toilets, no running water or electricity, etc.).

Le Cube and La Cabane are, first and foremost, two high-end accommodation options (offering every comfort), featuring refined, tasteful and elegant décor combined with a high standard of comfort.

  • You’ve decided to rent our iconic accommodation, the CUBE! You’ll be choosing a truly modern, fully equipped and stylish 50 m² flat in the heart of the countryside, featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows through which you can admire the natural surroundings and the river.
  • When you choose to rent the CABANE, you’re opting for a 20 m² studio that’s very well-equipped, cosy and elegant, with a cosy, homely feel; the River Ignon flows right past the terrace.

Both of our accommodation options feature outdoor lighting to enhance your romantic evenings – all, as you will have gathered, in the utmost comfort.  

The minimum stay at Domaine Pont Roche is two nights, so that you can make the most of the venue and enjoy a leisurely break ✅ 

A three-night stay is recommended if you’d like to explore our beautiful region.

For decks, the minimum stay required is the duration of the deck, Cube and Cabin.

The estate is accessible by car.

Each accommodation has a private parking space.

Domaine Pont Roche is an intimate estate. Le Cube and La Cabane are situated on the same bank along the river, with no direct views from neighbouring properties and are sufficiently spaced apart (around 150 metres) to ensure your privacy.

Recommendation for HEATING.

However, we would ask you to be mindful: our accommodation is very well insulated, so there is no need to turn the heating up to full. Please also ensure that the French windows and other windows are properly closed whilst the heating is on.

Thank you for your understanding.

What is the difference between a Nordic bath and a jacuzzi...A Nordic bath is a bath as the name suggests, there are no bubbles and no engine noise!

Our private Nordic baths are heated over a wood fire, so you can extend your tête-à-tête sessions.

Presentation of the «Ignon», the first category river that crosses our property.

As mentioned above, the Ignon is a small first category river, so you will be able to fish in No Kill (with your own equipment), only during the open season (14 March to 20 September 2026) and of course with a fishing licence.

Safety : 

The Ignon is a peaceful little river, but it can get out of its bed, although this is rare. Everything's fine, we're in a small valley with fields and plots of land that allow the water to spread out and infiltrate... so there's no danger ✅

Construction of our two cottages:

These were designed by the architectural firm AR-TEK 

Before building our two cottages, Richard and Vincent Cretin took into account the 100-year flood level plus an additional margin.

THE CUBE is set on techno-piles high enough to allow the river to leave its bed without causing any damage, so you can feel perfectly safe both indoors and out. All the more reason to enjoy the show.

THE CABANE This is laid on concrete piles with the same safety standards.

Welcome ✅
