Our stay
We had the opportunity to stay here (in cabin n°19 on the map below) and meet the whole team, especially Floralie, the very friendly reservations manager. What enthusiasm! Our overnight stay was perfect, and we loved cycling around the estate. The weather was divine...
First and foremost, it's important to know that Coucoo Cabanes embodies a true art of living, where a warm welcome is combined with a profoundly eco-responsible vision. Each cabin is designed to offer a unique, immersive experience, while respecting the surrounding environment. The materials used are sustainable, the layout is respectful of nature, and the energy choices are geared towards sobriety.
It's tourism on a human scale, committed, sincere and inspiring. Ambitious yes, but not at any price. It resonates with us.
When you take the road from Sorgues towards the cabins, it's virtually impossible to guess that a large natural estate is hidden here. It really is a hidden, unsuspected paradise. It's astonishing!
The keys to the cabins are handed over on site from 4pm. The welcome is warm and ritualized: someone welcomes you, invites you to sit down and offers you a drink. Anne-Sophie took care of us perfectly and explained all the details of our stay. You can tell that the team enjoys working here, or else the illusion is perfect.
Here is a map of the estate (approximately 40 hectares) to help you find your way around.
The cabins on the estate
There are 27 cabins in total: 7 floating cabins accessible by boat or via a dock, 18 cabins on stilts built high above the lake’s shores, and 2 cabins covered in vegetation that are completely camouflaged.
The cabins are built using sustainable materials such as untreated wood or French Douglas fir, sourced from local suppliers. They are spaced at least 80 meters apart to ensure true privacy.
Here are our favorites:

2 • Essentielle Spa Cabin • Photo • Photo
3 • Échappée Spa Cabin • Photo • Photo
4 • Paradis Spa Cabin • Photo • Photo
5 • Moorea Spa Cabin • Photo • Photo
They are located on the left side of the property, where the water is slightly clearer. Take a look at our photo to see the difference.
Depending on the cabin you choose, you'll enjoy the following facilities: 15 to 25 m² room with double bed, terrace of up to 25 m² with Nordic bath heated to between 35°C and 40°C, bathroom with mist shower to reduce consumption, minibar, reverse air conditioning and electricity.
We recommend using the Nordic bath at sunset and then watching the starry sky. A truly suspended moment, free from light pollution.
On the right-hand side of the estate, we also love the "Utopie" floating hut, which is totally self-sufficient in energy. It's the only one on the estate. It is equipped with a bathroom with water recovery system, toilets and a shower treated by phyto-epuration. Solar panels generate electricity.
Life on the estate
If you feel like swimming and relaxing, an infinity pool is available near reception, in a privileged setting. Please note that swimming in the lake is not permitted.
You can also borrow bikes to explore the grounds. The estate is a little gem waiting to be discovered. The flora is very rich: poplars, umbrella oaks, reeds, pampas grass, hornbeams, elms, thyme, sage, lavender, and even vines near the reception area. And the fauna is not to be outdone: numerous species of butterflies, warblers, herons, beavers, and birds of prey, among others.
In the morning, a breakfast basket is delivered to your cabin pontoon. This is included in your reservation. The menu includes a choice of red fruit granola, faisselle, pain au chocolat, jam, honey, butter, fresh bread, fruit and apple juice. Enjoy in bed facing the water or on the terrace in the sun.
A few examples: brunch basket with a late start at 1pm instead of 11am, Tomme de Chèvre raclette, wine fondue or even a massage. We recommend adding a good bottle of wine.
Room service is available until 11pm. Just call reception and they'll deliver whatever you need. There's also an in-room mini-bar with a few bottles.
All products are carefully selected from local partners in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Baskets must be ordered at least 72 hours before your stay, and are delivered to the foot of your cabin with all the necessary equipment: crockery, raclette or fondue equipment, for example.
Want to surprise your partner? Practically anything is possible, and the team is your partner in play. Don't hesitate to make your request during booking: blindfolded arrival, floral decoration, cake in the cabin, petal trail or photographer service, for example. If the concept is to remain a secret until the lakeside hut is discovered, make this clear during booking. The team is used to it, and will play along mischievously.
A sanctuary just 20 minutes from Avignon
Les Cabanes des Grands Cépages is located in the heart of Provence, near Mont Ventoux, the Luberon and the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards.
Avignon is a 20-minute drive away. During the Middle Ages, the city-fortress was one of the most influential in the Western world. Today, the Palais des Papes is the largest Gothic palace in the world and one of the most visited monuments in France. Don't miss its main courtyard, which is transformed into a stage during the summer Avignon Festival.
Here are some of our favorites nearby: the Colorado Provençal in the heart of the Luberon, the Carrières des Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Joucas, Roussillon and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
Each place left us with a unique memory: the Colorado Provençal for its spectacular ochre landscapes worthy of the Far West, the Carrières des Lumières for their immersive magic perfect on a rainy day, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse for its mysterious spring and freshness, Joucas for its calm and preserved authenticity, Roussillon for its colorful streets and sunny charm, and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue for its brocantes and romantic canals.
