More than 350 secret and romantic hotels
Toues Cabanées du Lac are floating apartments located on Lac de Serre-Ponçon, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes region, north of Provence and close to the Italian border. In a dream setting, with secret coves and landscaped beaches, you stay in a wooden boat in the center of the lake. The popular resort is open every year from June to September.
We recommend booking your stay at Toues Les Cabanées du Lac via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.
The Toues Cabanées are made in France, in slow mode. They are placed on the lake. To get to the toue or to the mainland, a small private motorised boat is at your disposal. Each toue has a gas bottle and solar electricity.
Facilities include a king size bed, bathroom, dining room, fully equipped kitchen and outside garden furniture. Linens, towels and cosy duvets are included.
The included breakfast is delivered discreetly to your boat each morning. You can also have breakfast at the Paillote du Lac, on the shore. For your meals, a private plancha area is available. You can also eat at the restaurant on the shore or order a takeaway. We also appreciate the bottle of rosé wine, Côtes-de-Provence by Ott, which will be waiting for you in the cooler on your arrival and the free ice cubes.
The secret cove, which you can see through your room window, is home to the estate's restaurant, the private beach for romantic chilling and the leisure area with live concerts under the stars. There are also canoes for a trip on the lake and games of beach volleyball, petanque or badminton. A real moment hors du temps in an exceptional setting.
To complement your stay, pamper yourself at the spa of the 4* La Robéyère hotel in Embrun, just 20 minutes from the lake. Book a treatment and access the wellness area: heated indoor pool, hammam, sauna and open-air hydro-massage Nordic bath. Other nearby attractions include the Demoiselles Coiffées, Col de Pontis and Ile de la Tortue.
