About this campspace
This is not a campsite, but an experience in the heart of nature, on an island accessible only by boat, with no water or electricity, in the Amiens hortillonnages marshes. Wildlife is at home here. You are invited by the owners, Valérie and Olivier, who have landscaped the plot with the greatest respect for the environment.
The grass is not mown, but cut in the paths. The tents are set up on terraces and equipped with air mattresses, essential for a good night's sleep in this humid environment.
A haven of greenery, a wild island in the heart of the Amiens hortillonnages on an orchard of plenty, with all the low-tech comforts: dry toilets, willow hut shower, natural straw hut, spacious teepee tents.
Somewhere between an eco-lodge and a scout camp, this is a unique adventure. #roots #DigitalDetox #Glamping #BellTent #Permaculture #Wildlife #LowTech #koh-lanta
A small island accessible only by boat, a breathtaking setting 15 minutes from downtown Amiens.
In this orchard-garden, everything is organic and natural.
Nature brings out the best in this extremely fertile land.
The terrestrial fauna (squirrels, insects, rodents, etc.), aerial fauna (butterflies, dragonflies, numerous birds and palmidae) and aquatic fauna (fish, frogs, etc.) live in harmony with the flora (tall trees, shrubs and grasses, flowers, etc.) and the organic permaculture vegetable garden.
The islet is at the heart of the international Art et Jardins festival, with islets laid out by landscape gardeners and visual artists. For the festival, boats can be hired from the manure harbor jetty 200m away.
