Do-it-yourself and gardening pros France

A DIY store in the center of town has become a rarity! And still very practical, despite the lack of parking (you have to walk a few steps and park in the Rotonde parking lot). The clientele tends to be local. Here, you'll find everything you need for DIY at home: screws, nails and hooks, sockets and wires, paint pots, glues and coatings. There are also sections devoted to framing, decoration, tools, hardware and even animal feed. And let's not forget the garden section, with plants and trees in winter (watering, various products, tools and pool maintenance). In season, there's also a corner dedicated to garden furniture, with tables and chairs, deckchairs and various pots. A bath, shower and electrical department. Everything you need to equip your home. With a small equipment rental service. Of particular note: a wood and glass cutting service, and the option of stopping your vehicle at the back of the store to pick up large parts. A long store like you'd expect to find in a city center, with a seductive layout and the same competent staff who've been there for years. A plus compared with the big DIY stores on the outskirts of town.

Jérôme Chabrat, landscape gardener and pool designer, invites you to his outdoor showroom at Les ateliers de Couternon. It's a dream showroom, with a fully landscaped lagoon pool. A number of plant displays combined with mineral landscaping demonstrate the company's expertise in criss-crossing, creating steps or a pool, all in styles that can be truly contemporary. Chabrat Paysage's swimming pool range features Iloé solutions, a brand with a free-form lagoon-shaped pool concept. The pools can be adapted to any terrain, in contour and depth, with gently sloping, beach-like edges. Water consumption is 40% lower than for a traditional pool. Iloé is available in several designs, with reinforced concrete, reinforced rubber and resin finish, or simply liner and sand-toned finish. Beyond the shapes, anything is possible: beach, staircase, straight edge, rocks, waterfall... The finished, grass-covered pool can cost the same as a traditional pool without its fittings. Particular attention is paid to the technical room for water treatment and heating. The company's design office can propose a complete overhaul of your garden, recommending solutions that are more or less plant-based, as mineral materials are taking up more and more space.
