Glamping, luxury camping
Glamping, a term derived from the words “glamour” and “campsite,” was created to meet the needs of a discerning clientele seeking both the benefits of traditional campsite living and those of luxury hotels. Glamping enthusiasts want a comfortable stay in a beautiful natural setting where they can reconnect with nature in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, without sacrificing their everyday comforts.

Some are looking for an unusual vacation rental for a unique experience in complete privacy, such as a cabin in the woods, a Mongolian yurt or a gypsy caravan.
Tailor-made quality, activities, infrastructure and services
When you think of glamping, you think of glamour—and therefore quality. Glamping enthusiasts prioritize aesthetics and excellence among their top search criteria. They’re willing to pay a little extra to stay in refined, high-end accommodations featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with a TV, separate bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Not to mention an outdoor terrace and a private garden on their spacious lot. And to ensure a successful vacation, activities and entertainment for children must be offered: sports tournaments, theme nights, excursions… Finally, glamping differs from campsite camping in the facilities and services made available to guests, such as a water park, a spa, a bar and restaurant, bike rentals, laundry facilities, and a grocery store…
