Nutchel is a European tourism brand created in 2018 by two cofounders, Clémence Rousseau-Dumarcet and Bernard Van Laethem, who wanted to create a new sustainable tourism experience.
Disconnect to reconnect – in a cabin that combines a return to basics with an outdoor lifestyle. We select promising natural environments that were once inhabited but have since been abandoned by humans. We give nature back its voice, replant vegetation and build our cabins, limiting our impact on ecosystems to the bare minimum.
We are convinced that restoring this balance and giving meaning back to the bonds that humans forge with their environment allow them to reconnect with one another.
It always starts the same, as the story of a place once inhabited and now left behind by humans. With our team, we work on erasing our human print on nature and on giving a second breath to nature.
"Architects who dream of houses that act as lungs, houses that act as sieves, letting air through, filtering the outside, but also mindful of what they themselves exhale, and which actually do us good" - Marielle Macé, Respire
At its heart, we delicately, gently, and quietly place our cosy cabins. There, one is free to create a unique connection with the surroundings during a refined, simple, and profound experience. To rediscover their capacity for oxygenation, and, thanks to nature, inspires, expires, and breathes.
As well as our cleaning and maintenance crews in our forest villages, current interns and student workers, and our business partners, who help us create a bit of magic for our guests.
A special thank you goes to our former colleagues who have contributed in making the company grow!
