Thank You
Where dreams become reality through
the generosity of extraordinary souls
Family & Friends - Our Bedrock
To our beloved family and dearest friends you know who you are… Who rolled up their sleeves, opened their hearts, and reminded us that the most precious investments are measured in love, not currency.
Some journeys are meant to be traveled alone. The transformation of Les Manibelles was never one of them. What you see today, every restored beam, every curated detail, every moment of beauty that now welcomes our guests, exists because of the remarkable people who believed in our vision and lent their hearts, hands, and expertise to make it real.
You haven't just helped us renovate a property. You've helped us create a sanctuary where transformation happens, where memories are born, and where the very best of Southern France comes alive for our guests. Your contribution lives on in every morning coffee beneath century's old oak beams and every sunset shared by the pool. Stories our guests will carry home forever.

More Than Gratitude
In the quiet evening hours, when the last guest has settled into their room and the manor breathes its ancient, contented sigh, we think of you. Every single one of you who saw what we saw, who believed what we believed, and who gave pieces of yourselves to make this impossible dream beautifully, magically real.
Les Manibelles isn't just our home, it's a testament to what happens when generous souls come together in service of something beautiful. You've created more than accommodation; you've created a place where transformation happens.
From the depths of our hearts, thank you.
We hope in your future visits at Les Manibelles your life pauses and new memories unfold for us all.
With love to you all.
Carl, David & Poppy.
