Cabanes Perchées dans les Arbres

The Dordogne


Six treehouses await adventurers south of Monpazier, with marvellous countryside panoramas from the balconies and luxury add-ons like outdoor hot tubs, a spa and cocoon-like bunks for the kids. Dinners (€25) can be hauled up to your perch for the full experience. It's 2.5km southeast of town.
