We also named this place with regards to the view, which mainly consists of trees and stars…
Cyril and Maÿlis
After almost 20 years in finance and IT consulting in Paris, Maÿlis has decided to settle in her region, and launch a family and meaningful project. In parallel, she studies naturopathy and positive education.
Cyril has formelly worked as a freelance project manager for entertainment agencies or publicity agencies. He now focuses on developping l’arbre aux étoiles, which fulfills his wish for everyone finding his own nature. Also, he has been studying geobiology since 2013.
L’arbre aux étoiles is about giving sense to their professional competencies, by letting them serve eco-friendly purposes in a project that creates economic activity in a rural area, while promoting values of know-how transmission and sharing.

Testimonial
Awesome week of challenging but relaxing yoga, great training, sun and good company. The place was in a very green and mountainous area and the food was amazing. Can definitely recommend this trainer and this location. Also, when you’re traveling from abroad and want to up your French, this is a good place to do so. Glenn Stevens Belgium
