These pearly-white terraced cottages on a peninsula on the Etang des Launes are prime real estate for birdwatchers and romance seekers. It's so quiet you can hear flamingos flapping past. Each room comes with a birdwatchers' guide and binoculars, and owner Benoît Noel is a font of local knowledge.
Prices drop outside high season, when single-night stays are also possible.
