Dreams

Write yours!

Since the dawn of time, Le Sauvage has linked the world of beasts and that of humans. Leaning on his club, he watches over passages and transitions. He is the mythical cousin of Saint Christopher, and the distant ancestor of our rababous – the Swiss burning man.

17 rooms
17 stories

All unique and different, the 17 charming rooms of Le Sauvage boast original wooden beams and walls of a local stone called “molasse” from the nearby river Sarine.
