Nature et Résidence Groupe

What Nature et Résidence Groupe does

Nature et Résidence Groupe is a French real estate developer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Anglet (Basque Country), specializing in the design, development, and management of Parcs Résidentiels de Loisirs (PRL) — residential leisure parks that offer second-home ownership in nature-based settings. The company develops timber-frame cottages (35-70 m², T2 to T4 layouts) sold with notarized freehold land parcels, positioning the product as an alternative to traditional second homes. Cottages are constructed using French timber-frame (ossature bois) eco-design methods and are covered by building warranties. The company operates show villages and maintains on-site 24/7 security and management services.

The business operates through a group structure with multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries targeting distinct segments: Nature & Résidence Village (core PRL offering), Nature et Résidence Silver (senior-focused developments), Nature et Résidence Habitat (serviced land plots), Nature et Résidence Loisirs (residential camping), and Nature Holidays (rental management and concierge services). Active PRL programs span six French departments — Finistère, Morbihan, Vendée, Landes, Hérault, and Charente-Maritime — with a portfolio of completed reference projects across France. The company added an LMNP (Loueur Meublé Non Professionnel) investment program to attract yield-seeking investors with tax-advantaged furnished rental positioning.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time cottage-plus-land sales with notarized deeds, supplemented by recurring property management and rental concierge fees. Distribution is almost entirely direct-to-consumer via assigned commercial advisors and a referral (parrainage) program rewarding existing owners. Marketing combines content marketing (blog), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube), and earned press coverage. The founder, Luis Do Souto, leads the company which has been recognized in regional press as the national leader in French residential leisure parks.

Direct peers

• Lagrange Vacances: French developer and manager of vacation residences and holiday villages offering freehold and leasehold ownership across France. Closely comparable to Nature et Résidence's PRL model of selling residential units within managed leisure parks.
• Odalys Vacances: Operates a large portfolio of vacation residences in France and Europe, including resale and rental of holiday properties with on-site services. Comparable in targeting second-home buyers and LMNP investors in managed leisure environments.
• Azureva: French holiday-village operator offering vacation residences with leisure amenities. Overlaps directly with Nature et Résidence's PRL positioning and resort-style second-home ownership model.
• CGH Résidences & Spas: French vacation residence developer/operator with on-site wellness amenities and ownership/rental offerings in mountain and leisure destinations. Comparable in multi-site managed residence operations and second-home buyer profile.
• Vacancéole: French operator of vacation villages and residences with property management and rental services. Comparable in operating leisure-residence parks and serving both investors and second-home buyers.
• Néméa: Develops and manages tourist residences in leisure destinations across France, with both investor (LMNP) and end-user offerings. Directly comparable in target customer, product type, and tax-advantaged investment positioning.
• Goélia: French vacation residence operator with both rental and ownership offerings in leisure locations. Overlaps with Nature et Résidence in second-home and managed-residence positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Belambra Clubs: Major French holiday village operator, traditionally a rental operator but active in the broader vacation-property segment. Comparable end-customer and amenitized-resort model, though primarily rental rather than freehold sale.
• Pierre & Vacances / Center Parcs: The largest French vacation real estate developer and operator, owning holiday villages and resorts across Europe. A broad incumbent that competes in the same segment at significantly larger scale than Nature et Résidence.

Regional players

• Léonard Parcs Nature: French developer of nature-resort villages with ecological positioning (timber-frame construction, sustainable tourism), serving second-home buyers. Closely comparable to Nature et Résidence's eco-construction and nature-based PRL model.
