Assistant Engineering Manager
About Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection
Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection is a 13th century chateau set on 2,500 forested acres in the Charente region in south west France. Once the private holiday estate of the Primat family, the property was transformed into a luxury hotel and art de vivre retreat in 2015. As of April 2023, Auberge Collection was selected by Garance Primat to manage Domaine des Etangs, which, from its origin as a fiefdom of the knights of Chasteigner de la Roche-Posay to its 1860s renovation as a family castle, remains emblematic of rich French history. The chateau embodies the absolute best of French design, blending a world class restoration of an ancient castle and original farm buildings with a sophisticated palette of curated modern art and artisan architectural interventions. At Dyades, a Michelin-starred farm-to-table sanctuary, every dish is a love letter to the land-crafted under the visionary hand of Executive Chef Matthieu Pasgrimaud. The hotel also features a renowned art gallery, a wellness space built around the original works of the old mill building, a floating tennis court, a Thermal baths pool house and charming multi-story rooms carved out of restored 18th century barns.
