Nearby trees and air circulating around the tipi bring a little freshness, even on sunny days (and in hot weather!). The canvas opens from the bottom and lets in a draught. For cooler nights, blankets await you inside. And if you like, we provide fans. Le Domaine is a family-run place: children are welcomed with pleasure and quickly find something to marvel at among the teepees, the park, and the wide open spaces. Domaine de Thironne brings together several accommodations in the same place, in the heart of Le Perche. The Manoir and its Suites, the independent Cottage and tipis by the water. Outside, the estate spans several hectares around its lake. Paddleboarding, pedal boat, kayaking and boat are available. Hiking trails start directly from the estate, from the short walk to the big walk in the forest. Pétanque, outdoor games and plant labyrinth punctuate the days. Traveling in a small group? The estate has two other tipis on the edge of the same lake. The Nil and Mekong teepees, which can accommodate 2 people each (+ 1 extra bed with supplement). This tipi (Amazone) can accommodate up to 4 people (1 king size bed 180 x 200 cm and 2 single beds), and the Nordic bath can be added on site for an extra charge, depending on the availability of neighboring tipis. 🏊‍♀️ The pool on the estate is reserved for the hosts of the Manoir and the Cottage. 🐶 Dogs are welcome at the estate, by prior agreement. A flat fee will be paid for €30/stay. The estate is not fenced, so we count on your vigilance to keep them with you, kept on a leash, especially near the lake and other hosts.
