Luxury camping, close to nature - Pastel

Our stylish tents sit in a meadow in the beautiful countryside of the Lauragais, an undiscovered corner of France between Toulouse and Carcassonne offering a truly unique holiday. Bringing together modern style and the tranquility of nature, the tents feature amazing panoramic windows that provide natural light and roof windows to gaze at the stars at night. With seperate bedrooms, private kitchens and bathrooms you can have all the fun of the outdoors with all the comfort of the indoors. There is plenty of space for all the family in the two bedrooms, one furnished with a double bed, the other with bunk or twin beds, all made up with organic cotton linens, both feature black out curtains for a great night’s sleep. Meals can be enjoyed together inside and outside. The dining table and seating area with a comfortable sofa look out over the fields. Your tent is a short step to a private, ‘en-suite’ shower room and toilet with heated floors for a hot shower even in the cooler months. The private kitchen is your own to create wonderful meals inspired by the fabulous local markets and artisan producers. It is fully equipped with a combi microwave oven, gas hob and fridge. The tents boast a lovely wooden deck surrounded by the wild flower meadow, the perfect environment to sit, relax and enjoy the views. Our site has a shared outdoor, heated swimming pool, children’s play area, games and a small on site shop for essentials and local products. The shaded barn has space to eat, drink and relax. A place for camping, not a campsite. This is our home so we are around to try to help you with your questions and requests to make you stay what you want it to be. We can help you with days out, restaurants, as well as organise trips to local artisan producers of beer, olive oil, cheese and other tasty things.
