Home description
Imagine 25 acres of unspoilt countryside in the beautiful hills of the Natural regional park of Le Perche in Southern Normandy. In the middle of a vast meadow on the lip of a hill stands a centuries-old sweet chestnut tree in and around which we have built a luxurious 5 berth tree house for you to enjoy.
Enjoy panoramic views across the renowned Perche countryside, whilst taking breakfast on the balcony, reading within the branches of the tree, nature watching, star gazing, or listening to music away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
Just 2 hours drive from Paris or the Normandy coast, take time out, relax and revel in being at one with the natural surroundings. This is a project for people – to share with nature, to exchange ideas and experiences and to gain a sense of our place on the planet.

The Normandy / Orne region
The Normandy region of France combines a 360-mile dramatic coastline, including the dramatically evocative World War II landing beaches, with a verdant interior of lush farmland, bustling market towns, and historic landmarks such as the cities of Caen, Bayeux and Rouen. Gastronomic delights abound, from fine cheeses to cider and Calvados.
The Orne department lies within Le Perche, an old province characterised by it's many 16th and 17th century manors, small medieval towns and beautiful unspoilt countryside including many forests. The natural regional park of the Perche is a nature destination with rich and varied eco systems and wildlife.
