Domaine Le Frichebeau is a private 32-hectare estate in the heart of Mayenne offering a peaceful, nature-filled retreat just 2h30 from Paris and 1h30 from the coast. Designed and hosted by Sylvie Dubois, who fulfilled her childhood dream of building treehouses, the estate is ideal for couples and families seeking restoration, privacy, and authentic countryside charm. The flagship accommodation is a prestige treehouse with a private spa, perched five meters above ground. This spacious cabin includes a fully equipped kitchen, a living area, a dedicated bedroom, a bathroom with separate WC and a large mezzanine that adds character and extra sleeping or relaxation space.
Guests enjoy generous outdoor living spaces: a 43 m2 terrace surrounding the cabin on three sides and a 25 m2 panoramic terrace connected by a 20-meter walkway, perfect for sunrise breakfasts or stargazing. Breakfast is included for stays up to two nights, and a variety of catered options are available on request, such as vegetarian baskets, local product hampers, raclette sets, charcuterie and fish boards, or full menus prepared by a local traiteur. Romantic extras like rose petals, flowers, macarons, and champagne are offered as packs and can be arranged in advance.
The estate encourages exploration: walk or cycle across the grounds and you may spot wild rabbits, deer, and roe deer, or enjoy watching resident cows, horses and donkeys. On-site activities include a spa, bike rental on request, and fishing. Nearby attractions add cultural and scenic variety: Sainte-Suzanne, one of France’s most beautiful villages, Gallo-Roman ruins at Jublains, the Château de Mayenne, and multiple museums and chateaux within easy driving distance.
Practical details: arrivals are between 16:00 and 19:00 and departures by 11:00. For safety and comfort, smoking and pets are not permitted anywhere on the estate. Children under two stay free when sharing existing bedding. For reservations and catering requests, guests are asked to call +33 6 43 57 72 89. Whether you seek a romantic escape, a family nature break, or a restful solo retreat, Domaine Le Frichebeau offers a refined, authentic countryside experience with thoughtful amenities and warm local hospitality.
