A Family Story
The origins: a family land in Châtillon-en-Diois
For three generations, our family has lived in harmony with the land in Châtillon-en-Diois, in the heart of the Drôme, between the foothills of the Vercors and Provence. It is here, on the La Conche estate, that our story began at the start of the 20th century. Our grandfather cultivated the lands surrounding an old bourgeois residence, engaging in livestock farming and cereal crops. These early years laid the foundation for a family adventure deeply connected to nature and the Diois region.
The evolution of the farm and a love for the land
In the 1960s, our father transformed the family farm by developing orchards. The estate evolved with the times, continuing to adapt to the needs of the region. A few decades later, the orchards gave way to a business specializing in local products and wines from the Diois, showcasing the craftsmanship and richness of the local land.
This spirit of sharing continued with the creation of a restaurant set beneath the estate’s century-old trees. Quickly becoming a must-visit spot in Châtillon-en-Diois, it welcomes guests to enjoy authentic cuisine, relax on a terrace shaded by linden trees, and unwind in a natural setting steeped in history.
The birth of Valterra Ecolodges
Driven by a deep attachment to this land and with twenty years of experience in outdoor activities, the youngest family member chose to return to La Conche with a forward-looking project.
This is how the concept of the Écolodges des 3 Pierres was born: eco-friendly lodges, made of French-designed wood, insulated with natural materials, and open year-round.
Designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, these ecolodges combine modern comfort, sustainable architecture, and environmental respect. They represent a return to nature and a strong commitment to sustainable tourism in the Drôme.
A place for life, sharing, and passing on traditions
Today, the Écolodges des 3 Pierres continue this family story rooted in nature, farming, and hospitality.
Between history, authenticity, and well-being, the La Conche estate has become a place to recharge, where every stay tells a unique story of the connection between people and nature.
Here in the Drôme, between the mountains of the Vercors and the gentle landscapes of Provence, our story continues to unfold… and, for the duration of a stay, it can become yours as well.
