Chez Ga-L
A holiday destination where curious minds can explore artisan skills and slow living, in a permaculture setting.
Handcrafted creations
At Ga-L, everyone lives at their own pace — a balance between independence and shared moments.
There’s no à la carte service here, but a way of life built around simplicity and connection.
A setting designed for a different kind of holiday, in a low-tech spirit that respects both people and the planet.
A river just a short walk away, a scenic path through the hamlet, a fortified village nearby,
and a little further, a regional park known for its wildlife and a painter’s valley to explore by bike.

The soaps will be minimalist! Handmade using cold-process saponification (moisturizing, unlike industrial soaps), without essential oils (not eco-friendly), controversial micas, or food ingredients diverted from their intended use. The colors will be obtained with clays, and the recipes will be effective and respectful of skin, people, and the environment.
Ceramics and pottery
Bowls, mugs, seedling pots, basins, lighting... Each piece will be designed for everyday use or to enhance a space. Firings will be carefully organized, the glazing will be carefully considered to optimize resources and only initiate a second firing if necessary. Objects that are first useful, then beautiful, even fun, made to last, with the imprint of gesture and time.
