To get you dreaming a little, and travelling through your screens, we've put together a little podium of the most beautiful places close to nature in France!
Jean Imbert's eco-friendly cabin
There's no need to introduce chef Jean Imbert, you almost certainly know him already. What you may not know, though, is his place in Brittany! Entirely eco-friendly, his cabin sits in Les Sables d'Or and measures 85 square metres. Here you help yourself straight from the 80 plants in the kitchen garden and laze about on the roof looking out over the pines.
Le Tasseou
In this restored 17th-century sheepfold in the Luberon nature park, relaxation and nature are the order of the day.
Six bedrooms available, a 25-metre swimming pool and birdsong as your alarm clock. What more could you ask for?
Even more nature at Les Échasses ecolodge
Created in July 2015, Les Échasses are perched in the south of the Landes. Here you can choose to stay on land or on the water, always in harmony with nature. Fully equipped for comfort, the estate also has a swimming pool, a spa and a restaurant. So, where are you booking? We'd happily pop over to Jean Imbert's place! And if you'd like to carry on dreaming, we also have an article on the most stunning houses from films!
Here's a summary of the three locations to help you choose based on your priorities.

Frequently asked questions

How many bedrooms does Le Tasseou have? Six. It is a restored 17th-century sheepfold set in the Luberon nature park. There is also a 25-metre pool, and birdsong does the job of the alarm clock.
Can you sleep on the water at Les Échasses? Yes. At this eco-lodge in the south of the Landes, you choose between a stay on land or on the water, always in keeping with nature. The estate is fully equipped, with a pool, a spa and a restaurant.
How long have Les Échasses eco-lodges been open? Since July 2015. They stand on stilts in the south of the Landes and were designed in keeping with nature, without giving up comfort. A pool, a spa and a restaurant complete the estate.
Which of these three places suits a group stay? Le Tasseou is the only one of the three whose capacity we know: six bedrooms, plus a 25-metre pool to keep everyone busy. The 85-square-metre Brittany cabin lends itself more to a small party facing the pines. At Les Échasses, the real question is not the number of beds but land or water.
