Owner's Message
For 10 years, our family farm La Fontaine Airmeth in organic beekeeping is dedicated to bees and ecology, and also to Celtic legends. Our missions: the production and sale of organic honey and bee products, the ecological tourist reception (unusual accommodation, animations, events), and education outside the farm (schools, leisure centers, fairs, thematic events). Our hamlet is composed of charming stone houses 1800' and is located in the heart of Brittany in the town of Ploërdut (labeled common rural heritage of Brittany).
We offer in connection with our accommodations, initiations to beekeeping, for the purpose of discovery, exchange and pedagogy.
In 2024, we will strengthen our missions of saving biodiversity and transmission to any public by setting up participatory science sessions (in contributions to monitoring programs and inventories of the National Museum of Natural History among others). And as for unusual accommodations, new surprises will soon open for the summer!

Introduction to beekeeping

Nordic bath
A moment of outdoor relaxation in a wood-fired bath (photo non-contractual - the Nordic bath area was positively modified in March 2024)
The bath is located in a ruin of stone and vegetation, at the entrance to the hamlet near the reception area. The area is private and not overlooked (curtains can also close off the space for greater privacy).
The water is heated to between 38 and 40°C by a secure outdoor wood-burning stove, and filtered by an external recycled glass sand filter. No chemicals are used (the water is treated with active oxygen, which leaves no residue in the water).
The session costs 35€ (1 to 4 adults possible). Not recommended for children under 13.
Bathrobes provided. Essential oils and floral waters can be added on request.
It's best to do the Nordic bath at nightfall, to better appreciate the natural ambience and starry sky (no light pollution here).
