La Vieille Fontaine, an escape to the countryside.

An early-20th-century mansion and its 6,000 m² landscaped park in Maisons-Laffitte, just outside Paris. We designed its website, wrote its texts, took its photographs and worked on its SEO.

The project

A moment suspended, near Paris.

Around the mansion, the park, the fountain, the river and the bridge create a rare setting just outside Paris: lunch in the park, dinner, family meals and seminars.

The challenge: convey this calm from the very first screen, present the menu and set menus, and make booking and event requests easy.

01 — Design

The park, from the very first image.

A website where nature leads: large images of the estate, lunch menu and à la carte readable on mobile, gallery, booking and contact for events. Managed by the team.

02 — Writing

Words that slow down time.

Presentation of the place, lunch in the park, the menu, descriptions for Google: sensory writing, in the image of the estate.

Excerpt · in French

Le temps ralentit, les sens s'éveillent, la nature inspire… Il ne reste plus qu'à prendre place et savourer l'instant.

03 — Photo shoot

The estate, in full light.

The chef at the pass, the fountain and the garden, the wood-fired grill, plates and desserts: an image library for the website, social media and event requests.
