The Story

Its history really begins with Alain de Condé.

Former art restorer, Alain de Condé rethinks the place with rigor and a sense of accomplished work. He dreams it as a peaceful have, halfway between the Borromean Islands and lake Como . He considers every volume, ensures that the facade catches all the possible light just like a movie star. He has a fondness for flowers and sets himself the goal growing rare flowers all year round in the courtyard. He appropriated the place and injects into it the value that are now its essence.

After falling in love at first sight with a photo, and a visit that quickly confirmed his connection to this place and his desire to be part of it, the bond between the marquis and the estate is sealed forever. It is the beginning of a great story between the man and his park, as he would say, or with its cedars, of which he recounts, deeply moved, that he had never seen 400-year-old trees.

Le domaine devient une ancre familiale, un refuge et un lifestyle dans lequel il a le plaisir d’accueillir, de recevoir, de divertir et de transmettre, le plus souvent possible, à ses petits-enfants, et aussi à qui souhaite découvrir son petit bout de paradis.

More than being an exciting man with a thousand and one stories, Gérard loves to entertain and host. He is above all a passionate man, curious about others and about the world. Hostel owner for over thirty years and jack-of-all-trades entrepreneur, his multiple experiences are rich and varied. He day to day alternates between working in the car industry and the wellness sector, choosing his projects based on his instinct and desire. However, very quickly, all of his activities revolve around two essential guiding principles: l’art de vivre as we say in French, and a certain “etiquette”, both of which are absolutely inseparable to him.

After returning from a trip to Asia, the couple decides to incorporate Feng Shui principles. Together, they restore the estate, offering it new spaces and new contours.

Gérard’s very latest project aims to give back to the region and to epicureans, what the region has offered him by renovating the barn. He aims to offer his multidisciplinary experience, his sense of celebration, and his professionalism for outstanding and unforgettable events.

To share his Perrotin paradise, throw open the doors wide, and demonstrate that there are paradises that are not lost.
