Our Story
Entrepreneurial Culture and Innovation: The DNA of a Family Group
For over four decades, Compagnie Gustave GROEBLI has stood out as a pioneer in the outdoor hospitality market, thanks to its entrepreneurial spirit and ability to innovate.
The story began in the 1980s when Gustave GROEBLI, a visionary, founded Domaine de la Dragonnière, marking the beginning of a family adventure. Guided by a passion for nature and preserved spaces, the GROEBLI family perpetuates this legacy by continuing year after year to develop its hotel portfolio. With the launch of the Villages Collection, Compagnie Gustave GROEBLI continues to push the boundaries of innovation by redefining the standards of the second home, while maintaining the authenticity and familial sentiment cherished by its founder.
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 desire to create a timeless village, a paradise for holidays, dedicated to family and friends, a friendly living space for sharing that would welcome everyone who wished, halfway between vineyards and the Mediterranean. That's when he bought a piece of land that nobody wanted. From generation to generation, from grandfather to grandson, summer after summer, we have always strived for the best for your holidays, and it is with conviction, passion, and love that we have managed to create one of the top 5 campsites in France: Domaine de la Dragonnière in Vias.
Discover Authentic Havens of Life
Each destination in our Villages Collection is chosen with passion, not only for its surrounding beauty but also for its unique character, a true soul.
