124: Frédéric Biousse and Guillaume Foucher, Les Domaines de Fontenille – Support local: the new luxury
“Now the wine served on our tables is our own. The olive oil used to season our salads comes from our own olive groves, and the vegetables cooked by chefs are grown in the vegetable gardens we create on our properties.” The words of Frédéric Biousse and Guillaume Foucher, founders of the European collection of hotels, Les Domaines de Fontenille. In the last episode of our special Change Makers collaboration with Mr & Mrs Smith, the travel club for hotel lovers, we’re transported to Provence, France where Les Domaines de Fontenille journey began. This is the story of how a vision to embrace France’s beauty became a group of luxurious homes away from home for visitors to stay local, and reconnect to nature.
