Third place of the Hermitage
The Maison de l'Ermitage, located in the heart of the city of Versailles, was built in 1746. King Louis XV asked to detach six hectares of the park of the Palace of Versailles to build a hunting lodge that he offered to Madame de Pompadour. On this site, Fondacio seeks to live this ecological coherence where social justice, personal and spiritual development, and the relationship between Man and nature are thought of together. Training, projects, spiritual life and partnerships are deployed to allow everyone to taste and deepen their relationship with themselves, with others, with nature and God.
