Let's wander
in the forest

At Domaine Spalazen Nature, animals are part of the atmosphere too. During your stay near Aubazine and the Dordogne Valley, you may have the chance to meet Scott, our Golden Retriever and the Domaine’s mascot.

Playful, curious and especially fond of children, Scott brings an extra touch of warmth and companionship, particularly during family stays. These simple moments are part of the experience of a nature retreat where there is time to slow down and enjoy being together.

Scott is trained to be around children and enjoys the Domaine’s outdoor spaces, but he never enters the lodges, helping us preserve the comfort and cleanliness of each accommodation.

What if the forest became the most wonderful playground?

At Domaine Spalazen Nature, children have their very own little corner of paradise! Surrounded by trees, a dedicated outdoor play area invites them to run, explore, have fun and let their imaginations run wild.

Excitement and laughter await on the zip line, while the ninja obstacle course challenges young adventurers to test their balance, agility and coordination.

And for budding explorers, the woodland den-building area becomes a wonderful place for adventure, where children can invent stories, imagine secret hideaways and share unforgettable moments together.

Here, there's no need for screens to enjoy great adventures: a few trees, a little imagination and the simple pleasure of playing outdoors are all it takes to create wonderful memories.

A place for adventure, discovery and outdoor fun, where younger guests can make the most of their stay at the Domaine.

Meet the animals that are part of daily life at Domaine Spalazen Nature and contribute to its natural, welcoming atmosphere.

Our chickens, always busy exploring, bring a cheerful touch from the moment you arrive. You may also meet Scott, our Golden Retriever and the Domaine’s mascot, especially popular with families and children.

A little further on, the Domaine’s beehives are another sign of the rich natural life surrounding you. Depending on the season, you can take the experience further with an introduction to beekeeping alongside Benoît, our local beekeeper partner. It is a wonderful opportunity to discover the world of bees, understand their essential role in nature and enjoy an original experience close to the living environment.

A little away from the lodges, the beehives are part of the landscape at Domaine Spalazen Nature and remind us just how present nature is here, even in the smallest details.

Depending on the season, guests can go a little further with an introduction to beekeeping alongside Benoît, our local beekeeper partner. You put on the protective equipment, approach the hives carefully, observe the bees at work and gradually discover the fascinating organisation of the colony.

Benoît takes the time to explain the role of the different bees, life inside the hive, the work of the beekeeper and the importance of bees for biodiversity. It is a simple, hands-on and genuinely fascinating experience.

This moment often changes the way you look at the forest, the flowers, the vegetable garden and the seasons that shape life at the Domaine.

A lovely way to experience nature, not only by admiring it, but by learning to understand it a little better.

At Domaine Spalazen Nature, the beauty of nature reveals itself through the seasons and along peaceful woodland paths.

Surrounded by forest, the Domaine invites you to discover the richness of the wildlife and plant life that thrive in the surrounding woodland.

Beneath the tall trees, ferns, mosses and wild plants create a beautiful natural setting that changes with the seasons. Along a woodland path or in the early morning, you might be lucky enough to spot a roe deer, a hare or other wild animals living freely in their natural habitat.

These encounters are always unpredictable, and that is precisely what makes them so special. The gentle rustling of leaves, a fleeting silhouette between the trees, the sound of birdsong… precious little moments that invite you to slow down, observe and appreciate the world around you.

Here, the forest is more than just a backdrop to the Domaine: it is an essential part of the experience.

An invitation to reconnect with nature, rediscover the pleasure of simple things and explore the rich biodiversity of the Corrèze countryside.
