The oldest part of La Dîme is dedicated to welcoming guests, and is set around a paved courtyard. The new inhabitants wanted to highlight the characteristics of the different rooms in a row. They underlined the original structures, and respected the contrasts. The discreetly eclectic furniture mixes some contemporary creations with retro-inspired elements. Refined simplicity has been favored, suggesting the continuity of an art of living in the present. Guests always feel at home when they leave the comfortable privacy of their room. They can sit as they please in the large reception room (under the giant beams in the large reception room) or share friendly moments in the small living room. He will go as he pleases from the closed courtyard to the terrace overlooking the garden. He will like to lounge in a lounge chair placed anywhere in the grass (an evergreen of Normandy). Children and adults alike can find space to play, chat, and calmness to rest, read or meditate. Discretion is not the least of the strengths offered by La Dîme de Giverny.
