A Night Suspended Between Earth and Sky

Hi, community—I’m Benoît!

A true product of the Auvergne countryside, I spent my childhood in the forests. They watched me grow up, play, explore, and thrive…

Today, I’m a tree-climbing instructor in the summer and a construction worker in the winter.

My personality has been shaped by my experiences and travels. I’m a social, curious, and open-minded person with a genuine concern for environmental issues.

Trees play an important role in my life: I contemplate them, find renewal and solace in them, climb them… and I advocate for a different way of viewing and caring for the forest.

I offer tree-climbing workshops designed as fleeting, suspended moments, set to the rhythm of nature and collective energy. No two workshops are alike: the activities are varied, and the only limits are those of our imagination and the serene space provided by the trees.

I love spontaneity. I love listening to people’s life stories, discovering what drives them, and exploring existential questions. And I simply love sharing simple yet meaningful moments that often become emotional and/or memorable…

So, if you’re on the same wavelength, maybe I’ll see you soon up in the trees...

How about spending a night… up in the trees?

I invite you to leave the ground behind for one night and come discover the forest from the canopy.

After an introductory rope-climbing session—suitable for beginners and led by a certified instructor—you’ll make your way to a comfortable platform set among the branches.

Once the session is over, there are several options: share a picnic dinner together, or explore one of the restaurants in the magnificent Sioule Gorges. Dinner is not provided; everyone is free to choose whatever they’d like.

Then it’s back up into the trees to fully enjoy the evening. Up there, there are no walls or ceilings—just the trees, the sky, and the sounds of the forest.

As the night unfolds, we slow down, listening to the rustling of the leaves, the murmur of the stream, and the nocturnal life at the heart of the forest.

It’s a simple, friendly experience—and a bit timeless. A moment to disconnect from daily life, share, contemplate, and rediscover some of that sense of freedom we felt as children.

☕ In the early morning, a gourmet breakfast made with local products will be waiting for you to start the day off right.

You don’t need to be a climber or an adventurer: I’ll guide you step by step as you discover this unique way of experiencing the forest—for just one night.

A night suspended between Earth and Sky—and perhaps a memory you won’t soon forget.
