Treehouse holidays, hobbit huts and other adventures…
For a weekend, step into the shoes of Peter Pan, Frodo Baggins the hobbit or an adventuress in the middle of the Mongolian steppes! By no means ordinary, it’s in Touraine, at the Domaine de la Roche Bellin.
My treehouse holidays
Who has never gathered together a few branches in the middle of the woods to make a lovely hut? OK, our treehouse may have been a bit basic compared to what you see in the movies (like Robin Hood) and cartoons (Tom Sawyer). Well, now it’s time to get your own back!
It the Domaine de la Roche Bellin, treehouse holidays is sure to delight children and grown-ups alike, as are the gypsy caravan, the yurts and the plant-covered huts. In fact, if you’re fans of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, the huts will be right up your street!
Rural charm at the Domaine de la Roche Bellin
As well as the accommodation, this estate is remarkable for its peaceful, green surroundings. Geese, chickens, sheep, goats… even a donkey has taken up residence is this great 6-hectare estate, with its fields and ponds, beautifully landscaped by Gwenaëlle and Sébastien Gaudry. Sébastien was previously a chef and once worked with Bernard Loiseau; at dinner time you’re sure to enjoy the range of tasty dishes on offer!
Activities around your treehouse
On site, you can hire bikes and enjoy the 3 rivers cycling trail, for example. For sightseeing, the Domaine de la Roche Bellin is in the middle of a triangle formed by the Royal City of Loches, Chinon and its vineyard and Futuroscope.
Other attractions nearby include the Grand-Pressigny Prehistoric Museum, the Château du Rivau, the park of Richelieu, the Château d’Azay-le-Ferron and the Haute Touche wildlife reserve.
