STAY IN AN ECOLODGE

A NIGHT SURROUNDED BY NATURE

The Conditions of Your ADVENTURE Vacation :

Our ecolodges are open from May 15 to October 30, these dates being subject to change depending on the weather. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact us at 09 65 03 49 68.

An ecolodge can accommodate four people (one double bed and two single beds).

 

When you book for :

  • A family of more than 4 people, please contact the Reservation Service on 09 65 03 49 68,
  • Multiple families, please make one reservation per family going through to the payment page for each of them.

 

Stays in lodges are only possible for children aged 6 and over. For families with young children, we offer stays at the Villa Bioclimatique or at the Petit Manoir.

To reduce water consumption and sewage, each ecolodge has a rudimentary bathroom (a watering can of 10 litres of water and an old-fashioned basin). To wash your face, only use the organic soaps that we provide !

In the space dedicated to the lodges, you have two water points and dry toilets, from which we obtain an excellent quality plant compost by adding wood chips.

Near the lodges, you can access, if you prefer, classic toilets and sinks.

 

Immerse yourself in the heart of the wildlife, in these magical places that are our ecolodges, to live an experience like that of bush camps in Africa. You will have your dinner and your breakfast there with your family while observing the intimacy of the wild animals, your neighbours !

 

The water in the natural pool is rich in plankton which contributes to the purification process. Consequently, any chemical product is prohibited, including sun creams or oils !

Be seduced by this natural luxury and entrust your comfort to our microscopic collaborators !

A unique experience that our family did yesterday at the Reserve des Monts-Azur. We've seen the wild european buffalos, the deers and the wild horses that originated in Mongolia. This reserve is a 700 hectares with free wild animals roaming around the place without human help. They co-exist in this habitat. I was amazed to see them sooo close! It's a different experience than seeing animals on captivity. I recommend for families visiting this place:-)

Not far from the city, nice drive!
If you’re gonna take a carriage, you can see the animals closer and there’s no need to wear sneakers if you’re not gonna do the promenade.
Carriage: 1 hour
Walking: 1.5-2hrs

This is a great mini safari in the mountains! You can see horses and bisons in the wild. Walking tours or in the carriage. Very beautiful nature and nice staff.
Please note that it is usually cold in the mountains so dress appropriately (long sleeves and trousers are recommended).
You can have a very good lunch at moderate price in the restaurant. Book in advance.
Nice boutique with souvenirs.
Children liked the tour very much.
We did not stay for the night.

Very beautiful reserve with stunning views. You can observe the animals in peace. Don't forget the binoculars! The crepes were very delicious.
Attention for non-French speakers: we had asked before booking if an English-speaking tour guide is available and this was not a problem. Unfortunately, on-site this was limited to just a few sentences and we understood almost nothing. That was very unfortunate!

Where do i start... Amazing place, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, great fun and spoke excellent English! We booked private carriage tour for our family. We loved seeing all the animals and learning a lot. We went to the restaurant for lunch, they had a great selection including children's menu. The food was beautiful and plentiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone local or tourists! Thank you
