The roulotte, authentic accommodation for 5 people

The most nomadic of tiny houses has set down its mount in Slowmoov ‘s unusual villages, offering you a stay of total disconnection right in the heart of nature. Inside, you’ll find a double bed with a curtain for added privacy, two single sofa beds and a box bed that stows away under one of the sofa beds. Message to parents: don’t expect to keep the double bed all to yourself. Your children will love climbing into this fun bed, creating a hut with the curtain and having fun with their brothers and sisters. That’s the magic of the trailer.

A real family adventure, with all the comforts parents need, such as a bathroom with toilet, and a kitchenette.

You’ll love the little outdoor terrace, where you can relax with your loved ones and watch your children frolic and play in this natural playground. Each roulotte also has an outdoor table, and sometimes a private barbecue (to be requested when booking) for family gatherings in the fresh air.

❤ Our favorite: Family-friendly facilities: playground and heated pool.

La Toue Cabanée: a floating home for family adventures

Do you like adventure? Sleep in this traditional boat, updated to become an unusual and comfortable accommodation for 5 people. The most unusual feature is certainly the access: in the middle of a pond, you’ll have to load the whole family into a boat and row to your accommodation. A few Toues Cabanées are also moored to a pontoon, for those who don’t want to take the boat.

La Toue Cabanée is a fantastic hotel room with a master bedroom, a hidden single bed (I won’t tell you more, I’ll leave you the pleasure of discovering) and a sofa that converts into a double bed. For your comfort, the Toue Cabanée is equipped with a bathroom, a separate toilet and a small kitchen to prepare your meals.

The best part of your stay? When your children wake you up by jumping on your bed to tell you they’ve spotted a frog in the water. Unplug and discover in the unusual villages of Les Monédières in Corrèze and Les Demoiselles in Auvergne.

❤ Our favorite: Breakfast delivered to the boat door. The team comes to bring it to you by electric boat so you don’t wake up.

La Cabane du Trappeur: a family holiday in the heart of nature

If you’re looking for a place that’s close to nature, with uncluttered, original decor, you’ll love the Trapper’s Cabin. An air of the great outdoors, as if you were in North America, following in the footsteps of the legendary Davy Crockett.

You’ll love this unusual cabin with its two bedrooms, one for parents, the other for children. Its interior living space and its terrace on stilts where you can relax with a good book or a steaming cup of tea. La Cabane du Trappeur is located in a slightly secluded spot in the village of Champagne, providing you with a large natural playground in complete privacy and peace.

❤ Our favorite: The secure terrace with nets overlooking the river l’Aube. A great delight.

Robinson’s dream: an original cabin straight out of an adventure novel

For adventure novel fans, Robinson has set up his cabin in Slowmoov’s unusual villages. Or at least, the team had fun imagining Robinson’s Rêve de Robinson cabin, as it might have been in Daniel Defoe’s novel: a cabin built from natural, eco-friendly materials, with the hull of his boat as a roof.

This cabin will transport you to another world for your unusual family holiday. It sleeps 6 and has all the comforts of family life, including sanitary facilities and a fully-equipped kitchen (Robinson-style, of course).

In the heart of nature, the whole family will be brought together, transported into a magical universe. A change of scenery guaranteed. Don’t forget to pack a copy of the famous adventure novel, a must-discover.

❤ Our favorite: A cabin full of 1001 tricks that we love discovering as we go along. Like this table that goes up to the ceiling once the meal is over to free up space … could Robinson Crusoe himself have come up with this brilliant idea?

Chalet Luxor & Spa, for a relaxing and unusual stay

A breath of relaxation for busy parents and children in need of a break: the Luxor & Spa chalet in the village of Les Monédières in Chamberet, Corrèze. A wooden chalet for up to 8 people, ideal for relaxation, with private Jacuzzi.

With 4 bedrooms, beds made up on arrival, 2 shower rooms and a large, fully-equipped kitchen, everyone can enjoy this atypically decorated space. But above all, you’ll be able to relax with your family in the private Jacuzzi or on the large solarium terrace of almost 20 m2 overlooking nature.

More active visitors can stretch their legs on the nearby hiking trails, or take advantage of the many activities on offer in the arboretum, just a stone’s throw from the unusual village.

❤ Our favorite: A family relaxation bubble, which will allow large tribes to get together while enjoying the chalet’s upscale amenities.
