Ten tremendous treehouses to try

Take your pick from the 4m-high Butterfly Treehouse or the 6m-high Dam’Oiseau Treehouse, both situated in the middle of a 100-year-old oaks forest next to the pretty seaside town of Saint-Pair-sur-Mer.

Choose from six different Cabanes de la Grande Noë in the picturesque Perche Regional Natural Park, perfect for families and couples. The 4m-high Fermette treehouse in particular is great for getting back to nature!

Enjoy a night in the treetops and a total change of scenery, courtesy of the Cabane des Chênes in the Perche! This unusual 25m² treehouse sits between a couple of two-hundred-year-old oak trees and overlooks a beautiful 15-acre meadow.

Just south of the medieval town of Bellême in the Perche, this 40m² treehouse is built around a chestnut tree, is surrounded by 25 acres of open space, and affords stunning views over the surrounding Normandy bocage landscape.

Between the towns of Deauville and Lisieux, just 25 minutes from the beach, sit the treehouses at the Château de Ouézy, an oasis of calm surrounded by natural springs, apple orchards, farmland and animals.

High-end hotel the Château d’Audrieu proposes a stay in a luxury ‘suspended’ treehouse, the perfect setting for a romantic stay followed by breakfast listening to birds singing and admiring the views from the treehouse terrace.

The Ferme du Bouquetot’s eight treehouses, six of which are in the forest, are situated on a 168-acre protected ecological area just five minutes from Villers-sur-Mer beach. Here, the key words are nature, wellbeing and relaxation!

Just 12km inland from the Alabaster Coast, not far from Dieppe, the Cabanes de la Chaussée in the heart of the forest offer an escape from the everyday in any season!

For a change of scenery, opt for a stay at the Domaine de Fontaine-Châtel. With 68 acres of woodland and treehouses built in trees over 100 years old, you’re in for a magical time in the treetops!

Enjoy a relaxing night at the Cabane du Clocher, situated in the middle of 15-acre grounds. Our favourite part? It has to be the 180-degree view from the treehouse terrace of the beautiful Eure valley!
