The cabins on the water
The Toues Cabanées are made in France using a slow-production process. They’re situated on the lake and are almost all identical. The only difference is that some have one bedroom and others have two. Take a look at this floor plan and this one to get an idea.
To get to the houseboat or return to dry land, a small private motorboat is at your disposal. Each houseboat has a gas cylinder and solar power.
Each cabin features the following amenities: a king-size bed, a bathroom, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor patio furniture. Linens, bath towels, and cozy duvets are included.
