A poolside getaway…

The winner of the 2018 Piscinelle Gold award lies in the grounds of an old farmhouse converted into a guest house in the Hérault department. This natural space has been designed as a an entity in its own right, providing an oasis of peace, a timeless place, a slice of paradise in the middle of the garrigue!

In this idyllic setting by the side of a calm expanse of water in the midst of an arid yet welcoming landscape, the pool becomes a gateway to faraway places, deep meditation, journeys from the comfort of a sun-lounger, a real fountain of youth nestled in an eternal forest.

Just looking at these images, you begin to tune out with the warm summer sun on your skin, surrounded by scents of lavender, honey and fresh goat's cheese matured in the nearby farm - it's the France we all know and love from our holidays!

Assis au bord de l'eau, les pieds qui trempent un peu, on se rafraîchit, on ne pense plus à rien... on oublie le téléphone, on est LA et c'est bien.

This pool installed on uneven ground is equipped with a reinforcement system to manage the very high water pressure on the above-ground parts of the structure. The rest of this relaxing space consists of a deck and pergola whose roof gently filters the sun's rays to soften their caress.

Customer feedback
“We wanted to create a separate space where our guests could feel completely away from it all. The pool had to echo the spirit of the Bergerie Fontbonne - a break from our often hectic lives!”

Some of these photos taken with a drone provide a good overview of the setting, enabling you to immerse yourself in the relaxing atmosphere our customers created for visitors to their guest house. Incidentally, we heartily recommend a short break here to get away from your smartphone with all its apps that ensure you stay connected even by the pool, and genuinely reconnect with yourself!

This pool is completely separate from the house providing a peaceful getaway, a place of true, simple contentment and a worthy winner of the 2018 Piscinelle Gold award.

Surrounded by pine forests and lavender fields, this pool has an almost rustic look with pine decks and very simple furniture enabling guests to get back to basics.

This Piscinelle pool with vineyards and lavender fields as a backdrop urges us to hit the pause button and dream of childhood memories.

A book, towel and sun hat - three items that embody the magic of a real break.

A square pool with clean lines providing the perfect spot to unwind and get away from it all.

Sat beside the pool with your feet dangling in the water, you feel refreshed with your mind switched off… you've stopped thinking about your phone - you're in the moment and it feels good.

This is a semi-inground pool at the top of a small hill in the midst of a slightly undulating, rocky landscape very typical of Provence.

An aerial view of the swimming pool - an arbour, a Piscinelle pool, a pine forest and a few bees in the neighbouring field - the bliss of finally getting away from it all.

Simple, white deckchairs for some guilt-free downtime by the pool with the sound of the cicadas the only distraction.

While the pool's setting is simple, verging on sparse, this small bunch of flowers from the neighbouring fields is just the touch of charm needed to give the scene a mellower feel.

This 2018 Piscinelle Gold award winner is all about the senses. The scent of lavender in June, the fields' contrasting colours and the distinctive sounds of the bees and cicadas combine in this setting.

Like the rest of the build, the pool shower is very simply designed reflecting an overall look that is pared down to the essentials.

This pool in the middle of the garrigue is designed as an island, an oasis, a haven encouraging us to get away from it all.

The pool is installed in the middle of the countryside in the South of France. The blue sky, the green garrigue, the purple lavender and the scent of pine resin reminds us of wonderful childhood holidays ... it's just like a dream.

A renovated room in the converted farmhouse that has deliberately kept a simple, rustic charm perfect for recharging the batteries.

In this photograph taken from a drone, you can see that the swimming pool blends in discreetly with its surroundings, showing all due humility to this beautiful, ancient landscape.
