A tranquil spot nestling under an old oak tree.

A tranquil, rustic camping dome nestling in the shade of an old oak tree. Are you looking for simplicity, mindfulness, nature? You will find all these and more hidden away at our peaceful smallholding in central France. A simple, rustic, rural retreat, a sanctuary from the rat-race, yet close enough to villages and small towns to experience its distinct 'Frenchness' - collect your freshly baked bread and morning croissants from the local bakery! The space Our simple but comfortable geodesic dome has been built using predominantly recycled and natural materials. There is an evaporation cooler beside the kitchen area and a dedicated compost toilet and solar shower sheltered amongst broom and elder-flower; all lighting in these areas is solar powered A wood-burning stove means you’ll always stay toasty, no matter the weather! Enjoy the shade, watching the birds and wildlife, or enjoy a magical evening, gazing at the beautiful starry sky, where the Milky Way can be seen in all its glory, in our unpolluted skies. We are in the (slow) process of reclaiming the land from brambles and nettles, but a walk around the small holding is kept cut, taking in a small stone circle and rustic rose arch. It passes the fields where we have a small flock of Jacob sheep, and returns via a large flat field, just across the small private track from the dome – perfect for children (and grown-ups) to run around and play.
