Experience summer differently... in the middle of nature

Located in Haute-Saône in the heart of a 150 hectare natural area, between forests and ponds, they offer an ideal setting to recharge your batteries, slow down, enjoy the moment. A summer far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but close to the essentials.

 

What awaits you on the estate:

Here, the days start slowly, with the birds singing, and unfold at your own pace, without pressure. Everything is planned to reconnect you to nature and to yourself.

 

• Walks or bike rides

After a night perched or on the water, hop on a bike to explore the 4 km of trails around the lakes and nearby villages. Good to know: our domain is labeled “Accueil Vélo”! Therefore, bike parks, refills and cards are available to you. Bicycles are also freely accessible subject to availability (helmets recommended outside the domain).

 

• Beach and pool

In high season, enjoy supervised swimming on Lake Bonnal, nestled in lush greenery. Cabaneurs also have access to the nearby pool (July/August), with its 5 slides for a refreshing moment on the other side of the river.

Price: from €4 for visitors or arrivals before 2 pm. Information at the reception.

 

• No-kill fishing

Fishing is not allowed in the estate's lakes, which are preserved by our activity. For amateurs, the nearby Ognon offers great catches (pike, trout, carp...).
The fishing license is mandatory, on sale in Rougemont at the “L'Evolutif” tobacco shop (5 min by car). The practice of no-kill is recommended.

 

• Massages and wellness treatments

To go even further in relaxation, Book a massage or treatment in our wellness area. Body treatments, facial treatments or duo massage: all in a soothing setting, overlooking nature.

• A comfortable cabin

If you come to Les Cabanes des Grands Lacs, it is primarily to enjoy your cocoon. Each cabin is designed for well-being and disconnection: terrace overlooking the water, cozy bed, absolute calm... and for the most part, a heated Nordic bath, to be used at any time of the day!

It's the perfect place to read, nap, observe nature, or just do nothing. Relaxation, sunset, starry sky: everything is there to experience a timeless break. And all this, only a few steps from Switzerland!

 

What to do around the Great Lakes Cabins?

In less than 30 minutes, set off to discover small local gems :

 

• Villersexel Castle

Immerse yourself in history by visiting this 19th century castle, which looks like an English mansion, built of stone and red brick. A unique place to discover 12 minutes from the estate.

 

• Besançon, city of art and light

Stroll through the lively streets of Victor Hugo's birthplace, climb up to the Vauban Citadel (classified UNESCO) and let yourself be carried away by the cultural and historical atmosphere of Besançon, 45 minutes from the Huts of the Great Lakes.

 

• Hiking or biking along the rivers

Explore the region's bucolic trails, between forests, meadows and rivers. Maps and advice are available at the reception for a 100% natural getaway.

 

• Wecandoo workshops: create with your hands

Soap making, pottery or bakery: experience an artisanal immersion with enthusiasts. Authentic workshops, near the estate.

 

And this summer, don't miss our events ! Rendezvous every Wednesday in July and August for creative snacks: natural collage, vegetable impression, creation of key chains... An evening around the night of shooting stars is also organized on July 31 for the cabaneurs and people of the campsite.

Practical side: everything is planned
