L’Atelier de Donat
Hôtel l’Atelier de Donat in Malbuisson is a true gem nestled in the heart of the beautiful Doubs region. Its location makes it a destination of choice for travelers seeking tranquility and discovery. The Atelier de Donat owes its name to the former owner of the house, a craftsman who, amongst other things, made boats, some of which were made available to the passers-by on his small jetty. The workshop has undergone a grand renovation, respecting the history of the workshop and the inheritance of Donat. Thus, references to the profession of woodworking and nature are omnipresent. The hotel stands on the edge of the Saint-Point lake, between sparkling waters and pine forest.
