#Véronique & Pascal Droux

Breathtaking from the very first glance, the view from the top of Les Trésoms offers an infinite a source of wonder and inspiration. The locale’s distinct identity proves just as wondrous. Everywhere, in every hidden corner, the Art Deco inspired décor creates a very unique atmosphere at Les Trésoms. The architectural aspects of the original building, built in 1860, reclaimed their rightful place during the restoration process.

Véronique Droux, a former art history professor, breathed life into the artistic side of the project, explains that, “During the renovation, we found some of the original glass paste and glass tile so typical of the Art Nouveau style from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. It was important to us to preserve the soul of the building and location while providing it with a more contemporary look.”

Endearing, committed, and resolute, Véronique & Pascal Droux never compromise their convictions. And the couple did not wait around for others to become trailblazers with regard to the environment and sustainability. In 2004, they figured among the very first establishments to install a solar water heating system. Today, their committed approach to sustainability and CSR translates to a broad and comprehensive social and environmental charter.

“Saving energy, water conservation, responsible purchasing, buying local and seasonal produce, preserving biodiversity, nothing is left to chance in our CSR policy at Les Trésoms. Training staff, building awareness among our clientele, saying no to certain requests from our guests, all are at the core of our motivation and willingness to anticipate change,” Véronique explains.

Véronique’s take on the art of hospitality elegantly combines expertise and etiquette with the utmost respect for the locale, its history, and the men and women who humbly nourish the entire ecosystem at Les Trésoms.

“Through our core values, the Les Trésoms Hotel has a strong identity, succeeding in creating a successful mix of contrasts like tradition and modernity, or the city and countryside. Here nothing is in opposition, the yin and the yang feed off each other. Just like the two restaurants that represent this amazing place.” At La Rotonde, a Michelin-starred restaurant, Chef Eric Prowalski’s cuisine offers an astute mix of his coastal origins in Arcachon with the unique flavors of Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. He creates the perfect balance between land, lake, and ocean, between the robust nature of fish, the grandeur of cheese, seaweed’s salty character, and delicious earthy flavors, all in a united savory delight.
