About Fabienne
A new life in a special place in Normandy
I am originally from Antwerp, but I lived in Amersfoort from the age of 22. My three children still live there, as do many dear friends, so Amersfoort will always be an important part of my life.
In 2019, I bought Le Paradis Normand in Lison. I fell in love with the peace, the space and the possibilities of this special place. In the years that followed, I gradually renovated, furnished and shaped the estate into what it is today. Not overnight, but with plenty of patience, ideas and, above all, a great deal of love.
Since March 2026, I have taken the next step and devoted myself fully to Le Paradis Normand. Renovating, decorating, gardening and ceramics are exactly the things I can lose myself in, and here they all come together.
La Couronne and La Perle have become deeply personal places. Every room, every detail and every corner of the garden has received care and attention. More than anything, I hope you feel at home here straight away — as though you are visiting a friend who is happy to share her favourite place in Normandy with you.
That is why the beds are made when you arrive, and a delicious Camembert with a fresh baguette awaits you as a welcome. Have a special wish or need a hand with anything? Just ask. I am always happy to help.
The hands that shape the estate
Renovating
Giving old houses a new life while keeping their character and story.
Interiors
Warm materials, calm colours and details that make a house feel right.
Gardening
The garden around the pond, the herbs you find in the kitchen: all my own handiwork.
Personal, calm and dependable
I don't rent out anonymous holiday homes. I welcome guests to a place I love being myself. That means short lines, honest answers and the freedom to make your stay exactly what you need.
