“Every beloved object (person or place) is the center point of a paradise!” (Novalis) Even as a child I dreamed of one day opening my own guest house. I was inspired by my grandmother, who was from the French speaking part of Switzerland. As the manager of an enormous farm estate, horse breeder and member of the National Assembly, her husband had little time to travel to far off countries with her. My grandmother therefore decided to bring the world to her, and opened a guest house in the Canton of Schaffhausen, in the Klostergut Paradies. The name says it all, and between 1950 and 1965 my grandmother ran this paradise as a guest house for the company Georg Fischer AG and the Iron Library. Full of pride, she used to tell me how wonderful it was to receive guests from all over the world. The guests came to her, and her world was enriched as a result. One of her favourite and most interesting guests was Winston Churchill. Through the power of my vision and with the help of my ancestors, family and friends, I am now endeavouring to create the centre point of a new paradise in the Coq Chantant. I am extremely excited about it! You can learn more about me on my Rolfing practice web

View from the outskirts of the village. The Coq Chantant Bnb and Boutique Hotel is situated in the centre of the village and has views to the west of the Jura mountains and the Arboretum. By fine weather, from the terrace of the loft "Gainsbourg" you can see part of Lake Geneva and the Alps, including the Mont Blanc. Spectacular views of the lake and Alps are only a few minutes walk away from the guest house.

St-Livres is a tiny village in the south west of Switzerland, located on the north side of Lake Geneva at the famous wine route La Cote.
