About
We were amazed when we found this wonderful corner of the world. So close to the city we had lived in for many years, but its natural beauty and special place in our country’s biodiversity seems virtually unknown.
In the spirit of the World Heritage areas that surround Belle Bois, we take a natural, environmentally friendly, and sustainable approach to offering our guests a luxurious and comfortable experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to Belle Bois.
