You should not neglect the opportunities to take a short break as a couple or in the company of your small family, to recharge your batteries and find yourself. But where to go for an unusual weekend?
For a long time, you have been wondering how the daily life of the Eskimos unfolds in their igloos. And you probably thought you would have to go to the North Pole to finally have your questions answered. Think again, there is no need to travel so far, since you can perfectly live this experience on French territory in the Ariège department of the new region of Occitanie.
Nothing like the great outdoors to isolate yourself from the noise and environmental pollution of urban areas. The great originality of this stay lies in the fact that you build the igloo in which you will spend your night. Without forgetting the little snowshoeing night walk where you will have a magnificent view of the Pyrenees.
Nevertheless, lately there has been a lot of enthusiasm for unusual accommodation, especially if the establishment is located in the heart of nature, like this hut perched in Gap in the Hautes Alpes. Nestled six meters high at one thousand four hundred meters above sea level, your balcony gives a magnificent view of the Champsaur valley. This weekend is perfect for romantic reunions.
And insofar as the hut has a small equipped kitchen, you can prepare your meal alone and dine there while admiring the sunset. A breakfast will be served to you when you wake up. And throughout the day, you are spoiled for choice between different sports activities including paragliding or mountain bike raids.
Otherwise, if the objective is really to escape and completely change the environment, weekends in floating cabins are also very popular. And it is at the Domaine des Ormes in Brittany that you will find the most famous houses on the water in France. The pond is part of a huge private park of a castle with a golf course and an animal park.
However, the main interest of this housing is its particularity to float and drift on the water. This is among other things possible thanks to its floats. In addition, so that your communion with nature is total, the cabins are not connected to an electricity network or a water circuit. They are equipped with dry toilets. Tenants can order their packed lunch on site.
Are you rather looking for a total change of scenery? While a few years ago you had to fly to Mongolia to hope one day sleep in a yurt, today it's much simpler:just make a reservation for one night for two people in this traditional habitat made from sheepskin and yak, in the French town of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
Here is a short stay that is perfect for the family since the yurts can accommodate between four and six people. Hence the importance of booking as there are only 3 yurts at the Airotel La Sorguette campsite. What's more, there will be no shortage of group leisure activities between petanque, volleyball, table tennis and table football.
Finally, if you like taking pictures of animals in their natural environment, you would probably not say no to a foray into a forest where wolves live. To do this, all you have to do is go to the animal park of Sainte-Croix, just a few kilometers from the city of Strasbourg.
Grands Cerfs, Jack London or Yellowstone… You have the choice between sleeping in a hut, a trapper's cabin or a luxury lodge. Otherwise, living in semi-freedom, the wolves will be only a few steps away from you. Behind your bay windows, you have plenty of time to watch and film them. But not only canis lupus, but also deer, mouflon, lynx and fallow deer.
