LE BRUIT DE L'EAU (THE SOUND OF WATER)

Sleep in a Zen dojo on a private island

In Japan, a ryokan is a traditional inn where guests who have come to spend the night are paid the utmost attention. Meals are often served in the room, and the small interior garden present in most ryokans provides a feeling of calm and relaxation.
It is from this tradition that Tibo and his wife drew their inspiration to create this ecological and heavenly place located at the heart of the Somme region, near the Parc du Marquenterre. The 2.5-acre garden at the centre of the property is home to a butterfly garden, beehives and a dragonfly garden, ail of which are managed in collaboration with various local associations.
A traditional dojo (a place for Zen meditation) has also been built on a small private island. It is only open in the summer, however, as its walls are made of paper.
All of the rooms are equipped with tatamis and futons. The spa is exclusively wood-heated and invites guests to discover the Siberian banya (a Russian sauna where one uses tree branches to lightly lash one's body), the Finnish sauna, or the Furo-Oké (Japanese bath).
A rare site.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Spend the night in a tent hanging from a tree, an igloo, a round house that turns with the sun, a giant hamster cage, at the top of a lighthouse, in a cider cask, a glass pyramid, a 2CV car or an English double-decker bus, aboard a plane, in a house anchored to the top of a factory smokestack, in a gypsy caravan, in a luxurious treehouse, in a red cube in the middle of the countryside or at the top of the Pic du Midi in the French Pyrénées...
The result of four years of research, our selection of hotels, B&Bs, self-catering cottages and other unconventional lodgings will let you spend a night unlike any other, which you will never forget.

More than 160 unusual places, starting at €10 a night.
