General conditions Of Sale
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to stays taking place during the 2027 season. For stays taking place in 2026, previous General Terms and Conditions of Sale remain applicable and are available upon request from the booking department.
By accepting these general terms and conditions of sale, I acknowledge that my stay takes place in the heart of nature, with the inherent unpredictability that this entails: variable weather, the presence of insects, birds, and mammals near the cabins, and the possibility of encountering them inside as well.
Your stay will take place in the heart of a natural estate. When moving around and walking, we ask that you respect the peace and quiet of the site. Upon arrival, we will provide you with a map of the estate showing pedestrian access and paths. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
During your stay, we ask that you respect all safety instructions as explained to you by our reception team.

4. Modification or cancellation of your booking
When booking a stay at the Classic Rate, you have the option to add a Zen Option for €25 per booking. This option allows you to benefit from more favorable modification and cancellation conditions than those of the Classic Rate, within the limits and according to the terms detailed below.
When a stay has been booked using a gift voucher, the Zen Option only allows for the modification conditions provided for this option. It does not allow for a cash refund of the gift voucher.
Any request for modification or cancellation must be sent in writing to reservation@cabanesdesgrandslacs.com. The booking number must be indicated in the subject line of the email.
In the event of personal circumstances preventing the customer from attending, particularly for health, family, or professional reasons, the conditions set out below remain applicable. We recommend that the customer take out cancellation insurance adapted to their situation if they wish.
a) Cancellation before your stay, by yourself
Additional services booked in addition to the accommodation may be subject to specific cancellation conditions when specified in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale or at the time of booking. These specific conditions prevail for the services concerned.
b) Modification before your stay, by yourself

In the event of a change to a stay of a higher value, the price difference remains the responsibility of the customer.
In the event of a change to a stay of a lower value, the difference remains the property of Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs, regardless of the rate chosen, but it may be used to purchase one or more additional services depending on the amount.
A single booking may only be rescheduled once, regardless of the rate chosen. Any stay that has been rescheduled at the customer's request cannot be rescheduled again or cancelled for a refund, subject to applicable legal provisions.
c) Modification or cancellation of stay by Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL
In the event of an orange weather alert involving external events beyond our control, such as severe weather, storms, or thunderstorms, management reserves the right to cancel your stay for safety reasons. In such cases, we will offer to reschedule your cabin stay to a later date within 12 months of the originally scheduled date. If you have already left your home, we will offer to rehouse you in another type of accommodation at no extra charge. Only in this specific case will you receive a 50% discount on a future equivalent cabin stay within 12 months of the originally scheduled date.
If none of these offers are satisfactory to you, the full amount paid will be refunded; no other compensation may be claimed.
If your booking is made using a gift voucher, the provisions set out in Part II of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply.
d) Modification or cancellation of stay by Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs ON-SITE
In the event of an Orange weather alert, with announced external events beyond our control, such as bad weather, storms, or thunderstorms, management reserves the right to cancel your night in the cabin for safety reasons. Re-accommodation in another type of lodging will be offered subject to availability and at no extra cost. In this case only, you will receive a 50% discount on a future equivalent cabin stay within 12 months of the initially scheduled date. No other compensation may be claimed. Only if we have no re-accommodation solution available will the full amount paid be refunded, or a date change will be offered within 12 months of the initially scheduled date.
e) Modification or cancellation of stay by you ON-SITE
In the event of a refusal to access your cabin (due to fear, vertigo, etc.), no compensation can be claimed.
5. Security Deposit
Please be advised that due to a significant number of thefts in the cabins over recent seasons, we have implemented a security deposit system. Upon your arrival, a bank card pre-authorization of €150 will be required.
This pre-authorization does not result in an immediate debit from your account and will be automatically cancelled after your stay, except in the event of damage or unpaid charges.
However, we reserve the right to charge all or part of this deposit in the following cases:
- discovery of damage or breakage in the accommodation,
- loss of items or furniture,
- services consumed on-site and not paid for at the time of departure.
In the event of a charge, the amount deducted will correspond to:
- or the actual cost of repair or replacement, upon presentation of supporting documents (invoices, photos),
- either the exact amount of the unpaid services.
The bank card pre-authorization is valid for the period set by our payment provider (generally 7 to 30 days). If any damage or unpaid charges are discovered after this period has expired, we will contact you to obtain your agreement for payment.
Please note that some of the items in the cabin are available for purchase in our shop at reception if you would like to take home a souvenir of your stay. For those that are not for sale, we would be happy to tell you where you can find them whenever possible. Thank you for your understanding.
6. Capacity
The number of people mentioned (including children) per cabin in our rates corresponds to the maximum occupancy allowed based on the available equipment. This limit cannot be exceeded for safety and insurance reasons. If the number of people in the chosen accommodation exceeds the authorized limit, access may be denied. Duo cabins can accommodate a maximum of 2 people (2 adults or 1 adult + 1 child, depending on age), and family cabins can accommodate between 4 and 6 people, as specified in their page description.
7. Rates
Our rates are inclusive of all taxes. Only the rates shown on our website are authentic. These rates vary according to the season. A tourist tax may be added to this price.
8. Children
Children's ages are calculated based on their date of birth and the start date of the stay. An official document proving the children's ages may be requested at the start of the stay. Family cabins can accommodate children of all ages. Duo cabins are accessible to one adult and one child, with a minimum age requirement for certain cabins.
9. Specific conditions
Some cabins have specific access constraints related to their height, the presence of a ladder, or the physical effort required to reach them. Access to cabins equipped with a ladder is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals whose health or physical condition may be incompatible with this type of access. Access to all cabins is prohibited for people prone to vertigo, sleepwalking, or those with heart conditions or uncorrected vision problems. It is mandatory to know how to swim for floating cabins accessible by boat. In case of doubt, the client is invited to inquire before booking.
10. Pets
For hygiene and safety reasons, pets are not allowed.
11. Valuables
Guests are advised not to leave valuables unattended in their cabin. The liability of Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs in the event of theft or damage is governed by applicable legal provisions.
12. Alcohol and tobacco consumption
It is strictly forbidden to be in a state of intoxication in the cabins or on the estate. Smoking is prohibited inside the cabins. All our cabins are equipped with terraces where you are permitted to smoke, provided that no cigarette butts are left in nature.
13. Massage services
For our massage services, we work with independent massage therapists who are not part of our staff. It is therefore mandatory to pay at least 50% of these services at the time of booking to confirm your massage and your practitioner. In the event of cancellation less than 7 days before the date of your stay, we will retain 50% of the massage service fee.
14. External service providers
It is not permitted to bring in external service providers to your cabin or the estate (photographers, decorators, event agencies, etc.) without authorization from the Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs team. If you require an external service provider, you may contact us at reservation@cabanesdesgrandslacs.com and we can review your request together.
15. Complaints
The client is invited to submit any complaint regarding their stay as soon as possible, and if possible, within 30 days following the end of the stay, either by email to reservation@cabanesdesgrandslacs.com or by mail to the address below, to ensure it is processed under the best conditions:

In the absence of an amicable resolution, the consumer may refer the matter to one of the territorially competent courts in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Code and the Code of Civil Procedure.

If the cost of the stay is less than the value of the gift voucher, the remaining balance remains available for another booking, up to the original expiry date of the gift voucher.
