Hector the donkey

We weren’t looking for anything, but we found everything.

We arrived at Villa Magnan by chance, simply looking for a few days of rest and disconnection. It has its own rhythm: open doors, conversations that stretch on, objects with history that are part of everyday life. And within all of that, there are characters you don’t forget… like Héctor. He is not just another animal in the house—he is part of it: part of its landscape, its routine, its identity. Always present, always close.

Naturally, we connected with Anne and her daughter, the owners of Villa Magnan, and from that connection an honest project was born that we now want to share with you.

This year, Hector turns 9, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Villa Magnan’s icon… than with a big birthday party!
