Back to cave time: sleep in a cave!

Find the most beautiful troglodyte houses in France to live an unforgettable moment.

Sleep in a cave like the Prehistory? Uh... yeah, but not actually. Tens of thousands of years ago, sleeping in a cave just meant a little respite. Sleeping, moreover, was a great word: it was only one eye to sleep, because there were many dangers. Today, however, many people want to get away from the beaten paths and offer themselves a “serious” stay.

But modernity did its work and the caves of old have left room for comfortable troglodytic dwellings. We have selected the best of them. You can find all the comforts necessary for a dream night to the rock. And, as a bonus, no wild animal will confuse you with his dinner...

1. Underground floor comfort

Saint-Germain-du-Puch is only half an hour from the centre of Bordeaux. This small village in the heart of the wine region reveals the best of itself in all seasons. We offer you to come and discover it by taking advantage of this gigantic troglodytic house recently renovated.

It is an old cave with goats enlarged and built over the years. Planned to accommodate eleven people, it has four bedrooms and totals 180 m2 of living space. Yes, you read well: nothing but the stay in fact 100. A private terrace of 200 m2 with heated pool and plancha is at your disposal to enjoy the beauty of Bordeaux. Or his succulent wines?

2. The Grotte of the Mill

The Grotte du Moulin is located in Noyers-sur-Cher in a region renowned for its castles. To the south of the department of Loir-et-Cher, you can explore the beautiful medieval city of Saint-Aignan. But rather than a manor, we invite you to discover this high-end loft for four travelers.

Fully embedded in a limestone motte, it consists of a large kitchen open to the living room and a bedroom. Well appointed and carefully decorated, you will benefit from two wood stoves. They allow heating and landing to ambient humidity: yes, we are here under ground! You will have everything you can to light them later, the local vineyards await your visit.

3. The Clos du Mouflon

An accidental route of 500 meters through the maquis leads you to an exceptional site in Corsica. It is a natural cave above the water with a terrace in the shade of the juniper. You will have a double bed, a solar shower and a dry toilet: no more and it is perfect as well.

A breakfast is included when you take possession of this cave between sea and maquis. The smells of rosemary and lavender cultivated on site come to tickle the nostrils. This exceptional haven of peace is merited but swimming in the creek 700 meters below is worth it! Maybe you'll find some urchins, if you're lucky...
