More than a stay, an experience: The art of entertainment at Domaine du Bonsoy.
What transforms a simple stay into a memorable experience? Often, it’s the details. Those little touches that show you’ve been thought of, not just as a customer, but as a valued guest. At Les Bungalows du Bonsoy, our philosophy has always been to create more than just accommodation: a true haven, a refuge where every moment is a source of pleasure and well-being. That’s why, beyond the exceptional setting of the Ardennes forest and the comfort of our bungalows, we pay particular attention to what nourishes the spirit and fosters connection: entertainment.
We know that holidays are the perfect time to reconnect, to share special moments with family and friends, far from screens and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With this in mind, we’ve developed a unique approach: a vibrant and ever-evolving library of entertainment. This article opens the doors to our game room and library, a world we constantly enrich through local partnerships, ensuring that even our most loyal guests always have the joy of discovery. This is our way of showing you that your experience is precious to us, and that we do everything we can to make it unique every time.
The Magic of a Living Library
Imagine: you’re coming home from a long walk in the forest, Your body pleasantly tired, your mind at peace. The wood-burning stove crackles. Outside, night is gently falling. It’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book, a captivating graphic novel, or a lively board game. In each bungalow, you’ll find a carefully curated selection, chosen to suit all ages and tastes.
But where our approach truly stands out is in its dynamic nature. We don’t settle for a static collection. We believe that the joy of discovery is essential, especially for our many guests who honor us with their regular visits. That’s why we’ve forged partnerships with local bookstores and game shops. These collaborations allow us to rotate our collections, introduce the latest releases, and surprise you with something new on every stay.
