About this property

Chalet Gaia - A magical night in the forest

Treat yourself to an enchanted interlude in the heart of the woods, in an intimate cocoon where nature becomes your living décor. Chalet Gaia, a 20 m² wood-frame chalet, invites you to slow down and savour the moment, in front of a giant 1.10 m porthole that opens your bed directly onto the hundred-year-old trees and the starry sky.PGJyPg
Warm and authentic, it has a cosy double bed, a bathroom with private toilet, a kitchen area for your cosy meals and comfortable heating for gentle evenings.

Its unique signature? This spectacular bull's eye that frames the forest like a living painting, and its panoramic terrace suspended above a murmuring stream. Here, every moment becomes an experience: a cup of tea in front of the golden evening light, a Nordic bath or a barrel sauna under the pine trees (by reservation), then the magic of the night falling behind the round glass.

When you wake up, the terrace is transformed into an open-air lounge: breakfast over the water, reading, meditation or simple contemplation. Your hosts, Cathy and Alain – photographers and practitioners of forest swimming, energy treatments and sound journeys – also offer tailor-made rituals to transform your stay into an unforgettable mini-retreat ("Discovery", "Magical" or "Cosmic" formulas).

Nearby, explore the natural and cultural treasures: the Via Fluvia greenway, the Tence steam train, the Lavalette lake, the Himalayan footbridge (the longest in France) or Le Puy-en-Velay, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Accessible by a forest path and stairs cut into the rock (sloping terrain, not suitable for people with reduced mobility), the chalet guarantees calm and total immersion. Free parking at the bottom of the path.

If you feel the need for a real break for two, away from the noise and screens, Chalet Gaia is waiting for you. ✨
