Everett & Brigitte are building this the right way — with care, with purpose, and with deep respect for what came before.
Join Brigitte and me on a remarkable journey as we create, restore, preserve, and breathe new life into a meaningful piece of French history in Saint-Léger-Vauban — just two hours from Paris, nestled in the heart of Burgundy, one of the world's most renowned wine regions.
The village of Saint-Léger-Vauban traces its roots back to the early 1600s, while the documented history of Triple PPP Ranch/Farm dates to 1883. Our property holds a uniquely special place within the community, situated at the very center of town, directly across from the statue of Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. Born here on May 15, 1633, Vauban served under Louis XIV and became one of the most influential military engineers in European history, with innovations that shaped warfare well into the 20th century.
At Triple PPP Ranch/Farm, we are cultivating more than land — we are creating an authentic, living sanctuary. It is a return to a time when life felt simpler, more intentional, and deeply connected to nature and purpose. This is a place to step away from the noise, pace, and distractions of modern life and rediscover what truly matters.
Our vision is to thoughtfully develop a first-class bed and breakfast experience, complemented by immersive, hands-on activities — everything from exploring winemaking traditions and learning the art of beekeeping, to riding quad runners through the Morvan countryside and stargazing under Burgundy's breathtaking night skies, to engaging in daily farm life, interacting with animals and local wildlife, and experiencing the rich historical fabric of the region.
Triple PPP Ranch/Farm invites you to slow down, turn back the clock, and share in a lifestyle rooted in authenticity, heritage, and renewal.
This isn't a resort dropped into the countryside. It's a historic rural compound being carefully brought forward — stone by stone, beam by beam.
