Who are we?

We are Ton and Mirella

Since 2000 we own Domaine Les Gonies. After working in the hospitality industry in the Netherlands for many years and owning our own restaurant together for 3 years, we wanted something different.
To live, work and enjoy in a different way.
At Domaine Les Gonies we can live in, of and with nature, work and still have a lot of contact with our guests and enjoy the French life. Mirella as a chef, farmer and hostess. Ton as waiter, farmer and manus-you-of-everything.

We are now 25 years on and our business has continued to grow. We enjoy so many things.
In addition to pampering our guests in our restaurant, gites, Bed and Breakfast and camping, farming plays an increasingly important role.

What do we want?

We try to let our guests experience in what we are so excited about ourselves. So you have questions about how life is taking place on our farm, feel free to reassure them. We are happy to take you with us when feeding our animals, or for a look at our vegetable garden.

Our restaurant runs on homegrown products. We grow our products organically. The same goes for the animal feed. We work as environmentally friendly as possible, waste that is edible goes to the pigs, wood released during the demolition is reused or enters the wood stove. The rest of the waste that has no destination is separated and disposed of. The rinsing water for the toilets of the campsite is pumped out of the River Lot.

In addition, we are happy to explain our “green” energy flow. There are solar collectors on the barn. Our central heating is partly on solar energy and partly on wood from our own forest. Ultimately, we strive for a CO2-neutral company. Whether that succeeds, the future will learn!
