Atmosphère d’Ailleurs

Light tones and minimalist furnishings, relaxation guaranteed. © Anne-Emmanuelle Thion

Founded by Thierry Grundman in the 1990s, Atmosphère d’Ailleurs presents a collection of carefully curated, unique items sourced from diverse cultures. Thierry, driven by a deep appreciation for ancient craftsmanship, personally selects each piece for its beauty, authenticity, and emotional resonance. Embracing the wabi-sabi philosophy, he celebrates the imperfect beauty and the marks of time that each object carries. “Our materials bear the wrinkles of travel, nature, light, and life.”

Today, Thierry is focused on preserving traditional craftsmanship by working hand-in-hand with artisans to restore and reimagine these objects, breathing new life into them.

The beauty
of simplicity

At Au Bout du Verger, Thierry Grundman envisioned the space as a kind of living showroom, designed to inspire guests during their stay. In rooms adorned with limewash-painted walls by Delphine Drouin—an artist and decorator—the emphasis is on simplicity. The calming tones of beige, taupe, and gray blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

The home is filled with beautiful, natural materials: an ironwood dining table, a minimalist kitchen, and soft linen curtains and bed linens, all complemented by one-of-a-kind pieces. Above the staircase, a cascade of handwoven metal pendant lights by designer Mark Eden Schooley draws the eye. In one of the bathrooms, a vintage shell has been ingeniously repurposed into a unique basin, adding to the home’s charm.

Vacations
in the Vallée de Chevreuse

Inside, you can also enjoy the blooming garden. © Anne-Emmanuelle Thion

The Vallée de Chevreuse is a destination to be savored year-round. In summer, guests at Au Bout du Verger can enjoy leisurely barbecues on the expansive terrace, stretching well into the afternoon. Autumn invites walks through the nearby Rambouillet Forest, just a 30-minute drive away, where you can forage for mushrooms and chestnuts. Or, take time to explore the charming neighboring villages like Dampierre-en-Yvelines and Chevreuse.

Winter brings cozy moments by the fireplace, perfect for reading a book in the living room or perhaps taking a cooking class with a local chef. For those inclined, painting workshops can be arranged with a nearby artist. And as spring arrives, guests can admire the blossoming landscape through the large bay windows before heading out for a refreshing stroll. There’s something for every season at Au Bout du Verger!
