In 1868, parents entrust the charge of the operation of the hotel at Renee, who has always worked so far.

Therefore, it will continue to renovate, build, decorate, embellish. She inherited the passion to build our mother, and give free rein to his greatest pleasure and that of customers who are new improvements each year.  In 1973/74, she redesigned the dining room on your own, a large lounge and five new rooms in the last remaining part of the barn. But what has been done before is no longer, nor taste, nor, she thinks, than the number of customers.

In 1976, it goes all over again at nine, we added two additional bedrooms. A new kitchen and standards, is rebuilt.

Of course, the exterior walls and roof are retained to preserve the character of the house.

Last major dated in 1993, the roof is redone to give more space and light in three rooms on the second floor, by creating large balconies, very appreciated, as can be expected. But Renée pushes his concern for the respect of form and style of the old farm up to cover the entire roof of “tavaillons”. But this time with a wood that did not know our ancestors, Cedar Tuya Giant or Canada. What comes next in the history of the farm Gai Soleil?

May it continue to provide pleasure for a while holiday guests, as it gives to that which receives, in a shared pleasure.
