Bonjour, fellow adventurers and sleep enthusiasts!
We are about embark on the ultimate French escapade filled with excitement, relaxation, and the unparalleled comfort of Bundle Beds. Let's dive into the details of our grand adventure…
Day 1: Meymac - Treehouse Delight
The boys have always wanted to sleep in a treehouse, and this one perfectly landed in the middle of our route to Archachon, and was only £60 for the night… They are SO excited about it! We’ll spend our first night nestled among the treetops in this cozy treehouse booked through Airbnb. After a day of travel, there's nothing quite like the magic of sleeping in a treehouse. And with Bundle Beds, our boys will have the perfect sleeping setup – comfortable, convenient, and ready for adventure.

Day 2-5: Arcachon - Glamping Paradise
Next stop: Arcachon, a coastal gem known for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture… plus I’m very excited about the oysters that are apparently amazing in that area! We'll be staying at a Huttopia site in one of their trappeur glamping tents, complete with a bathroom for added convenience. With a double bed for us and bunk beds for the boys, it works perfectly for us. And the best bit… my parents are coming to join us for these few days, so there will be lots of fun to have with the Grandparents too!

Day 6-11: Huttopia Landes Sud - Nature's Retreat
Our journey continues to Huttopia Landes Sud, the great forest of the Landes de Gascogne, where we'll be staying for six nights. Located near to the Nature Reserve of the Courant d’Huchet, the Huttopia Landes Sud campsite is also just a few kilometres away from the ocean, and we can’t wait to jump on our bikes and cycle off to the coast. Nestled in a Sweet tent with a bathroom, we’ll be able to return to the perfect sanctuary after days spent hiking, biking, and exploring the wonders of the Landes region.

Day 12-16: CapBreton - Coastal Haven
As we make our way to CapBreton, we'll be staying in an Airbnb for five nights, with the boys cosily tucked into their Bundle Beds rolled out on bunk beds. With sandy beaches, charming cafes, and stunning coastal views, CapBreton is the perfect destination for a family getaway. We’re super excited to get in some surfing, and apparently there are some amazing places to grab a bite to eat – any tips welcome please!

Day 17-19: Lac du L'Uby Huttopia - Lakeside Serenity
The boys were really excited when we showed them the pictures of Lac du L'Uby Huttopia, where we'll spend three nights in a lakeside Trappeur tent with an on-site bathroom and bunk beds for the kids. Our lakeside tent means that the boys can virtually fish from their bedroom (well nearly!) and with so much to exlpore around the site, we can’t wait to jump on our bikes and scout out the best bits!

Day 20-21: Sete - Seaside Charm
I’ve heard great things about Sete, so I booked us two nights in an Airbnb with the option of a sofa bed. However, our boys will have their Bundle Beds unrolled on the floor in our bedroom, allowing us to maximize space and enjoy the living area without the hassle of making up a sofa bed. Sete's seaside charm and picturesque views are something that we are really looking forward to roam around.

Day 22-28: Saint Tropez - Luxury Retreat
Our journey concludes with a week-long stay in Saint Tropez, where we'll be staying with friends in one of their spare bedrooms in their villa. We’re teaming up as 4 families, so the boys (and the other 8 kids) will be sleeping on their Bundle Beds on the floor in the bedrooms, allowing four families to fit across five bedrooms, but still ensuring that everyone has a comfortable and restful stay. With its glamorous beaches, vibrant nightlife, and luxurious accommodations, Saint Tropez promises to be the perfect ending to our French adventure.
