What if your next night was spent inside a transparent bubble gazing at the Milky Way, perched 12 metres up in a centuries-old beech tree, or in a handcrafted yurt heated by a wood-burning stove in the heart of the Pyrenees? Glamping — a blend of « glamour » and « camping » — has officially entered the Larousse dictionary in 2025, marking a quiet revolution in French tourism. With more than 1,300 unique accommodations listed across the country, including 600 exceptional cabins, travellers today are spoilt for choice when it comes to escaping without sacrificing comfort.
Wild and mystical Brittany, golden and fragrant Provence, breathtaking and authentic Pyrenees: these three regions concentrate some of the finest glamping addresses in France. Here is a sourced guide to the 15 unique accommodations you absolutely must book in 2026 — with budgets, insider tips and the best periods for each address.
Glamping in France in 2026: a booming market
A market worth €3.4 billion
According to a market study published in 2025, camping in France generates annual revenues of over €3.4 billion with steady growth of 4 to 6% per year. This momentum is supported by more than 8,000 campsites welcoming 30 million visitors for 141 million overnight stays each year.
In the face of growing standardisation in traditional camping, glamping is establishing itself as a premium differentiator. As Xerfi highlighted in its March 2025 analysis, by integrating unusual accommodations — bubbles, treehouses or yurts — operators attract a more affluent clientele seeking unique experiences, while also extending the season.
🌊 Brittany — 5 addresses between sea, forest and Celtic magic
Brittany, land of unusual accommodations
Brittany, with its jagged coastline, legendary forests and exceptionally clear night skies, makes this region one of the favourite glamping destinations in France. According to Tourisme Bretagne, bookings for unusual overnight stays in Finistère and Morbihan grow every year, with particularly strong demand for stargazing bubbles and treehouses.
Here are the 5 essential addresses in the region for 2026.
1. Starry Dome Ebrenn — Hôtel Dihan Évasion, Côtes-d’Armor (22)
Created in 2023, the Starry Dome Ebrenn is an exceptional innovation for sleeping under the stars in absolute luxury. According to the Dihan Évasion website, this giant transparent dome, set in a meadow surrounded by centuries-old trees, allows you to watch horses grazing, passing wildlife and the panoramic spectacle of the stars. The name « Dihan » means « pause » in Breton — and that is exactly what you feel here.
The team discreetly leaves your breakfast on the grassy terrace each morning. Access to the Spa by Dihan (sauna, hammam, massages) completes this experience of total disconnection.
Highlights
- Milky Way observation from the bed, without leaving the dome

The Igloo d’Arvor deserves a special mention: this spacious all-season dome welcomes guests in a 1950s–1970s setting, with a round bed measuring 2.20 m in diameter suspended in the air and a transparent roof for stargazing.
Highlights
- 3 distinct bubbles, each with its own aesthetic universe

Since 2008, Charles and Sabine have offered treehouse stays a few minutes from the white sand beaches of Finistère, near Roscoff and the Île de Batz. What makes this estate exceptional is the varying height of the cabins — from 6 m to 12 m — all within the same grounds.
The range includes the Jonquille cabin (6 m, for families), the Vigie cabin (8 m), and the Nid Clos cabin (12 m in a beech tree). For larger families, the « Tonnerre de Brest! » opened in 2023 is an alternative in a large barrel.

La Roche-Maurice is a little-known medieval village with a ruined castle, an ossuary and views over the Élorn river — the glamping here is set within a thoroughly authentic Breton landscape. According to Maîtres de l’Évasion, the Crozon peninsula and its panoramas are accessible in under an hour.

Frequently asked questions about glamping in France
What exactly is glamping?
Glamping, a blend of « glamour » and « camping », refers to a form of accommodation combining closeness to nature with high-end comfort. Having entered the Larousse dictionary in 2025, it comes in many forms: transparent bubbles, treehouses, Mongolian yurts, canvas lodges, tiny houses and vintage caravans. According to Boursorama, glamping attracts a discerning clientele with its luxury in the heart of nature. It allows you to immerse yourself in a natural environment while enjoying amenities worthy of a boutique hotel (quality bedding, fitted kitchen, private spa, etc.).
What is the average budget for a glamping stay in France in 2026?
Prices vary considerably depending on the region, type of accommodation and season. In Brittany, a night in a cabin or bubble starts at around €100 to €150, while premium accommodations can reach €250 to €280 according to Tourisme Bretagne. In Midi-Pyrénées, a night in unusual accommodation costs an average of €153 according to Likibu — around €319 for a two-night weekend. In Provence, budgets range from €80 (simple lodge in low season) to €280 (premium ecolodge with spa). January is generally the most affordable month.
When should you book a glamping stay in France for 2026?
Plan as far ahead as possible. According to Camping Tour, the best pitches disappear as early as December 2025 for the following summer. The golden rule is: book 3 to 6 months in advance for lesser-known addresses, and 6 to 12 months for the most famous ones (such as the starry dome at Dihan Évasion or the ecolodges at the Parc Animalier des Pyrénées). Winter unusual accommodations (heated bubbles in Brittany, yurts in the Pyrenees) are less in demand and can be booked more easily a few weeks ahead.
What is the best time of year for glamping in France?
Each season has its charm depending on the region. In Brittany, bubbles and domes are accessible year-round — winter is even particularly photogenic in the mist. In Provence, May–June (lavender in bloom, gentle warmth) and September–October (golden harvest light) are the dream periods. In the Pyrenees, yurts in winter surrounded by snow offer an exceptional experience, while April–May (newborn animals) and September (deer rut) are ideal for nature stays. According to Tourisme Bretagne, autumn is the perfect time to rediscover Breton forests from a treehouse.
Is glamping suitable for families with children?
Yes, but it depends on the accommodation. Mongolian yurts can comfortably sleep up to 6 people according to Camping Tour. The treehouses at Château de Kermenguy (Finistère) accept children from age 2 (Jonquille cabin at 6 m). The stilted safari tents at À l’Ombre des Tilleuls (Pyrenees) sleep up to 5 people with 2 separate bedrooms. The yurts at Ferme d’Arbas offer donkey trekking with Pyrenean donkeys — an unforgettable activity for children. However, some romantic bubbles have a minimum age (16 or 18 years) for safety reasons.
Is glamping eco-friendly?
Glamping can be very eco-friendly, but it all depends on the establishment. The Green Key label is growing at a record rate in France in 2025, with 324 eco-certified campsites. The criteria include waste management, water and energy savings, guest awareness and biodiversity conservation. Among the addresses in this guide, Terre des Baronnies holds the Green Key label (5th time) and the yurts at Ferme d’Arbas use exclusively local materials. According to La Revue Longs Cours, 63% of French people want to travel more sustainably.
Which region to choose between Brittany, Provence and the Pyrenees for a glamping stay?
Each region has its own identity. Brittany is the place for maritime escapism and Celtic legends: exceptional starry skies, wild coastlines and Armorican forests create an unmatched setting for bubbles and treehouses. Provence is perfect for combining gastronomy, golden light and nature: lavender, truffles, ochres and the Gorges du Verdon make it a luxury glamping paradise. The Pyrenees seduce through their authenticity and unrivalled wildlife: handcrafted yurts, bear and wolf watching, and high-mountain landscapes for a truly restorative experience.
What are the most sought-after types of unusual accommodation in France?
In France, more than 1,300 unusual accommodations are listed, including 600 exceptional cabins. Treehouses represent the pinnacle of unusual accommodation — perched several metres off the ground, they offer a unique perspective and a sense of rediscovered childhood wonder. Transparent bubbles are social media stars: sleeping under the stars while staying warm is an experience many dream of. Mongolian yurts are prized for their warmth and authenticity. Finally, tiny houses and vintage caravans (such as the Airstreams of Ariège) appeal to lovers of design and originality.
