If you are looking for an escape that will make hard cut to your stressful life, look no more, you just found it.

Located in France, in the department of France-Compté (Chassey-lès-Montbozon, Bonnal), Coucoo will offer you an experience that you aren’t ready to forget.

Booking your stay will begin with the difficult task of “where do I want to stay?”. In fact, you will have to chose among categories: Family or Duo and then the types of bungalows/huts:

–        Floating

–        Floating + Spa

–        In the trees

–        In the trees + Spa

Once you manage to make that difficult choice, you will have to choose among the proposed menus baskets (presented below), pack your stuff and get ready to have an unforgettable night!

About the place

Coucoo Grand Lacs is, as the name indicates, located among woods and lakes. The place is a sort of large natural reserve where you will have the chance to observe multiple species such as Kingfishers, Beavers, Coypu and many others! This place is simply heaven!

You will have enough trees or water around you to feel alone in the world!

About the cabins

The cabins in the trees are all one more exotic than the other! They are way c yall unique and have special features such as bridges, staircases, single or double floors and so on. While the spa version have a Nordic bath (which is pretty awesome), all the cabins have a large enough balcony to have dinner and breakfast or enjoy a nice beer with sunset view.

The cabins on the water can be reached by boat (for the floating islands) or are located directly on the shore. As for the tree huts, they have a balcony large enough to feel like on a floating island.

The SPA versions have obviously the famous Nordic bath right on the deck!

All the cabins have dry toilets, a bathroom (with water) and .. yes ..a bed =)

The decoration is beautiful!

We spent the night in both tree hut “Sensation” and Shore house “Songe”.

Sensation is a huge tree house with a SPA. It is built on two floors, one main place with your bed and table and a lower part with the Nordic bath.

Additionally, you will have a hole in your deck with a hammock to relax. Definity a “Sensation” to lie there and read a book for example.

The inside is really spacious and has an additional table so that you can stay warm and cozy in case of rain.

The cabin “Songe” is right on the shore! It is a double story cabin with a lower “lounge” beautifully decorated in blue/gray and brown and an upper floor with your bed bathroom and balcony. Here again, you have everything in case of bad weather.

The Nordic bath is located on a floating deck right on the water! A pretty awesome place actually with a breathtaking view on a lake flat like a mirror if it’s not windy of course. 

Meals and snacks

While breakfast is included, dinner isn’t and has to be ordered prior to your arrival.

You can chose among a broad choice of cold meals. They are all prepared on the spot with local products, delicious!

You have three choices:

–        Healthy

–        Gourmand or

–        Veggie

If you forgot to order up-front or change your mind upon arrival you can also simply order a picnic basket that will be more than enough to save your evening!

We tried the different options and trust me, they are one more delicious than the other!

But I’ll show you the highlight here in picture (the sushi with the salad and soya sauce, favorite!)

For lunch, there is a restaurant located directly on the hotel ground or in the close by villages.

We tried the “Pizzas de Nicolas”, a super friendly guy with whom we discussed for a while! Can only recommend.

Activities

While relaxing and enjoying the Nordic bath will be your main activity (yes, yes ;D) there are still a few things that you can do in a close by perimeter.

–        Bird watching and wildlife: the area is a paradise for birds and various animals. If you are staying in such a place as coucoo, lost in the wilderness, it’s most probably that you are seeking for an escape in nature. Take the time to learn from it, observe it, listen to it and experience it! There are an impressive variety of birds, will you be able to recognize them? What about the other animals?

–        Biking: you can rent bikes directly at the reception! You have different options and tracks that you can follow. You can either turn around the hotel area and the close-by lakes (which already will take a while, specially if you stop every 2 seconds like me to take pictures) or you can follow a so called “green line”. The Green Line is a dedicated biking route that links together different villages and will let you enjoy your bike tour far from cars and busy roads.

–        Canoe trip: this activity should be booked upfront or early morning at the reception, which is also the pick-up location. From there a bus will take you up-stream and you will float all the way down the river back to the pick-up location. While the river looks rather quiet, the nature that it hosts and the landscapes you will see will make that activity memorable. There are also a few more technical (still nothing wild) sections to spice up the day!
