About us

Hello and Welcome! We are Marcel en Willemijn. For some time now, we realised we wanted a different life; a life with fewer obligations and less stress. Our life in the Netherlands was more than fine and comfortable. A lovely house, enjoyable but busy jobs, and (too) little time to do what we love most. Pottering around the house and the grounds. Working in our garden, vegetable patch and our own small vineyard. Spending lots of time outdoors building and creating various things. But also socialising, cooking, long dinners and plenty of good company. It became increasingly clear that we wanted to change course. A different life, preferably in a warmer and sunnier climate than the Netherlands.

Many years ago, Willemijn worked at a campsite in France, and she has dreamed of a similar campsite for years. Marcel dreamed of having his own vineyard, but discovered in the Netherlands that winemaking is a whole different ball game, and quite a challenging one even. And then Moulin Brûlé came our way. An adults-only campsite in the middle of a fantastic wine region in France! We were sold straight away. What a beautiful place. Last summer we stayed at Moulin Brûlé ourselves with our campervan, and experienced the peace and quiet and the hospitality of Birgit and Cees. Such a wonderful place, and so close to several beautiful bastide villages with their authentic markets and soirées gourmandes. What a fantastic area to live and work in!

As from the 2027 season, we are taking over, and Birgit and Cees are off to enjoy their well-deserved retirement. The adults-only concept will remain, and so will the small scale and the tranquillity. Over the coming years, we will gradually give it our own touch, but the foundations will stay as they are. We hope to welcome you for a wonderful holiday at our campsite, Moulin Brûlé.
