portrait of Caroline LeroyCaroline Leroy

Caroline Leroy has the frank gaze and bright smile of someone who has found their calling. A rural herbalist, she welcomes us into her property the way one would open a door to a friend, with simplicity and warmth.

Originally from the Meuse, she grew up in the heart of generous nature, a free childhood filled with adventures, walks and discoveries.

But when the time came to choose, she turned to business, seemingly far removed from the earth and plants. For fifteen years, she devoted herself to a profession that gradually lost its meaning. Reorganizations within her company, a first pregnancy, and above all, a need to reconnect with what was essential... The seed of change was planted.

The time of rooting

In 2017, a move brought the family to a house nestled in the countryside. There, in this green setting, the idea took root: why not make this place a place to work and live? With the unwavering support of her husband, Caroline resigned and began a career change.

An internship in the Vosges Mountains, alongside rural herbalists who would become mentors, allowed her to bring her project of growing aromatic and medicinal plants to fruition. Better still, she discovered an inspiring way of life, perfectly aligned with her values. The adventure began!

For two years, she observed, learned, experimented... and little by little, her garden became a true "herb garden" - the name given in the Middle Ages to plants that treated minor everyday ailments.

L’Écrin des Simples: nature, gentleness and expertise

Today, L'Écrin des Simples is a small bucolic paradise. Amidst peppermint, sun-kissed calendula, silver wormwood, and flamboyant poppies, Caroline cultivates, harvests, and processes them with love and respect. Beneficial herbal teas, surprising jellies, natural cosmetics... each creation is the fruit of rigorous expertise.

Discovering his world means reconnecting with our roots, rediscovering the taste of simple things, the scent of a crumpled leaf, the pleasure of a suspended moment.

This is the setting of Les Simples, a passionate, grounded and slightly rebellious young woman who offers you the best of nature, just like that to take care of you!
