A mystical, artistic, and poetic journey into the heart of the Domaine des Étangs in Charente Limousine, a familial domain hidden among quiet ponds, now turned into a five-star hotel. A unique spot of 2500 acres conceived around the five elements - water, earth, air, fire, and ether - which houses an exceptional contemporary art collection - paintings, photographs, sculptures, and books. The artwork can be discovered not only in every room of the 18th century castle but also throughout the park. At last, a place of rejuvenation out of the world and out of time which allows us to reconnect with nature.

Structured around the five elements, the book first explores the domain's landscape and waters before revealing how the hotel is conceived around the three other elements - fire, air and ether.

Text in English and French.
