The Dumulon House

Romance is the theme in this pavilion's five comfy rooms, where one can drift off in delightful reverie. Peace and quiet await those who come to cosy up in front of the fireplace in the welcoming den.

The Pavilion's History

The Spa Eastman’s colourful history revolves around people. Certainly, around those who created it, but also around those who were to frequent The Spa Eastman through the years. La Maison Dumulon is a brilliant example of this.

In 1983, the Spa Eastman welcomed a very unique guest. She was 74 years old and had recently suffered a serious cerebro-vascular accident which gravely compromised her mobility. This worldly woman had lived her life balancing travel and family. After the accident, she could no longer play the piano, paint or even move around like she had so easily done before. She had decided to offer herself a one-month stay at the Spa Eastman to uplift her spirits. During her stay she discovered the benefits of massage. Through massage therapy she was able to savour the moment. By the end of the month she had regained her joie de vivre. When the time came for her departure, she said, “I want to live here. I would like you to build me a house here at the Spa Eastman.”

With Madame Dumulon’s complicity, a new house was added to the existing installations. Madame Dumulon lived on the first floor while, on the second floor, new treatment rooms and a room for workshops were located in the Salon Rose. Cécile Dumulon stayed at the Spa Eastman for five happy years. In 1989, at 81 years of age, Madame Dumulon chose to leave the Spa Eastman. She wanted her apartment to become the reception area of the Spa Eastman. She even drew the plans herself.

It is to celebrate this touching love story and honour this grand lady that the Spa Eastman has officially named this pavilion La Maison Dumulon. Now, La Maison Dumulon is totally devoted to lodging. Its five rooms still reflect the warmth of this moving story.
