BEE Rivage – A Luxury Retreat for Wild Bees in the Park of Beau-Rivage Palace Lausanne: Designed by architects François Born and Adrien Clairac, BEE Rivage blends aesthetics with a strong ecological purpose. Inspired by the four seasons and local flora, it caters to the needs of the most discerning wild bees. A blooming grove, encircled by a protective ring, houses diverse nesting structures tailored to different bee species. The project aims to preserve vital habitats and raise awareness for the protection of these essential pollinators.

The insect house stands at the front of the hotel, while the birdhouses are nestled in the trees around our grounds.

Between a sea of blossoms and the lakeshore, we have installed a charming insect hotel from hotel-insectes.be at TCS Camping Morges. It stands right next to our colourful wildflower meadow, where wild bees, butterflies and other small guests find everything they need.
