Our Story: The Heritage and Innovation of the Gustave GROEBLI Company
The Origins of a Family Adventure
For over forty years, the Gustave GROEBLI Company has established itself as a key player in outdoor hospitality. Driven by a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a constant desire to innovate, it has built a unique model where family tradition and modernity come together.
Between Tradition and Modernity, a Strong Identity
The story begins in the 1980s, when Gustave GROEBLI, a visionary passionate about nature and preserved spaces, created the Domaine de la Dragonnière. This first project marked the starting point of a family adventure that, year after year, grew richer and stronger.
The GROEBLI family continues this legacy by expanding its hotel portfolio while remaining faithful to the values of its founder. With the launch of the Villages Collection, the Company keeps innovating by redefining the standards of the second home, without ever abandoning authenticity and the family spirit.
Today, the Gustave GROEBLI Company embodies both the continuity of a family tradition and the ability to imagine the future. Its DNA rests on two inseparable pillars: entrepreneurial culture and innovation, the true driving forces of its development.
Our Story
35 Years of Outdoor Hospitality
"It was in 1985 that we embarked on this wonderful family adventure. Gustave GROEBLI, my father, had the will to create a timeless village, a holiday paradise dedicated to family and friends, a friendly and sharing living space that would bring together, year after year, all those who wished to come, halfway between vineyards and the Mediterranean.
That was when he bought a piece of land that nobody wanted. From generation to generation, from grandfather to grandson, summer after summer, we have never ceased to demand the best for your holidays, and with conviction, passion, and love, we have succeeded in creating one of the 5 best campsites in France: Le Domaine de la Dragonnière in Vias."
Karl GROEBLI – President
Villages Collection, a forward-looking concept
The Villages Collection reinvents the art of camping holidays by combining great comfort with authenticity. Vacationers can stay in tents, mobile homes, or spacious chalets, with everything needed to fully enjoy a stay in nature.
Families have direct access to water parks and nearby lakes, for moments of relaxation with their feet in the water. Children can have fun in the kids’ club, enjoy a water slide, or play on the playground, always supervised by attentive and energetic staff.
These modern and friendly facilities offer an experience suitable for the whole family, where relaxation, leisure, and discovery come together to create memorable moments. Whether for a weekend or an extended stay, Villages Collection promises successful and unforgettable holidays.
Unique Places, Designed to Be Experienced
Each Villages Collection is the result of careful selection and a true passion. Chosen for the beauty of their surroundings and green setting, these are above all places with a soul that invite you to live an authentic experience, explain the leaders of the Gustave GROEBLI Company.
In the heart of nature, far from the city noise, our villages offer a genuine break from everyday life. Whether you choose a bungalow, a chalet, a caravan, or a comfortable mobile home, our accommodations meet every desire and guarantee a holiday rental tailored to your needs. Staying in a Villages Collection ensures successful family holidays and unforgettable experiences.
The water area is at the heart of each destination: turquoise lagoons, heated pools, and landscaped beaches welcome you for a stay focused on relaxation and fun. Young and old alike can enjoy our slides, play pools, and children’s games, while parents savor moments of relaxation.
But our villages also offer numerous activities for the whole family: team sports, friendly entertainment, local discoveries, and welcoming dining areas. Every detail is designed to make your next holiday synonymous with well-being, sharing, and authenticity.
In a landscaped environment carefully maintained and with absolute respect for nature, each Villages Collection is a unique destination where tradition, comfort, and conviviality come together to offer you an extraordinary experience.
