A classroom shaped by the season, with winter filling the windows. Felt like this Wilderness First Responder course was being held in a snow globe! ❄️

Who doesn’t love exploring new house?? Come with us on a full tour of Ciel et Bois 🍁🏠

Qui n’aime pas découvrir une nouvelle maison?? Venez avec nous pour une visite complète de Ciel et Bois
A few weeks ago, a family from Holland came to stay at @cieletbois during their son’s track competition in Ottawa.
After the meet, they celebrated with a gathering of 18 family, friends, and coaches for a private chef dinner prepared and served onsite by Mike and Sarah of @thevillagehouse759
Karen Charron @brokanta_shop (who designed and built Ciel et Bois) gathered flowers and set the tables and decor.
The group requested to dine in The Studio and have Karen set it up as a giant u-table.
Apparently, the night was amazing!
They’ve already booked their stay (and celebration) for next summer 🙂

Le Studio est sharp pour le début du stage de médecine en milieu sauvage demain, avec les étudiants en médecine de l’Université d’Ottawa.
The Studio is looking sharp for the arrival of U of Ottawa 4th year med school students tomorrow for their stage in wilderness medicine.
Le sauna est maintenant en marche! 🙂
Fait à la main par Nootka @nootkasaunas en cèdre rouge de l’Ouest — et ça sent tellement bon.
Il est électrique, donc vous n’avez qu’à l’allumer, et il chauffe complètement en 15 minutes.
Ajoutez de l’eau sur les pierres pour ajuster la vapeur.
Peut accueillir confortablement 6 personnes… on a hâte que les groupes en profitent pendant leur séjour!
*****
The sauna is up and running 🙂
Handmade by Nootka Saunas @nootkasaunas with Western Red Cedar — it smells amazing.
It’s electric, so you can just turn it on and it gets to full heat in 15 minutes.
Then pour water on the rocks to add steam to your liking!
Seats 6 comfortably…we’re excited for groups to enjoy this on their stays.
