Difficulty level :
A multifunctional rural third place dedicated to the ecological and digital transition of its region, working to promote the spread of permaculture-based communities.
The Orangerie de Danne offers an exceptional setting for gatherings, blending architectural heritage with unspoiled nature. Whether for a tourist visit, a cultural excursion, or a seminar, it welcomes all guests in a warm and inspiring atmosphere
Charming rooms for rent
Whether for events or a vacation, the Orangerie’s rooms are available for rent in a setting that is both authentic and serene. Nestled on the upper floor of this historic building, they offer the comfort of distinctive accommodations, blending the charm of the past with the tranquility of the surrounding nature
The third place also offers:
The vegetable garden: A walled garden featuring a period greenhouse, two turrets, two wells, nearly century-old fruit trees, a chicken coop, and 5,500 m² dedicated to permaculture.
A landscaped area: The third place is at the heart of a 320-hectare agricultural and landscaped estate. We have space dedicated to training and experimentation in agroecology and permaculture: plains, fields, woods, orchards, ponds, and a lake
An eco-renovated seminar room for meetings and training. The old-world charm of stone, terracotta tiles, wood, and lime blends perfectly with modern video projection and sound systems.
The Maker Space: This third place is a creative space for individuals and professional projects. Carpentry, wood construction, mechanics, CNC machines, electronics… Prototyping and manufacturing have never been easier thanks to our maker space!
By the Numbers
Background of the Call for Projects
The third place is a winner of the 2023 Maine-et-Loire Fabriques de territoire competition. As such, the association is seeking projects related to permaculture, low-tech solutions, eco-construction, and self-sufficiency to diversify its activities and fully realize its potential.
