Description
A Night in a Bubble Under the Stars
The bubble in the large oak tree offers a sweeping view of the Orb Valley, near a large tree beneath which a set of patio furniture is set up.
At night, the stars are visible depending on the season and cloud cover.
A shade curtain allows you to open or close the bubble.
It’s well-ventilated, so you won’t get too hot in the evening.
An on-site café allows you to grab a bite to eat and have a drink.
New shared restrooms are available.
The nightly rate is for two people and includes breakfast; for each additional person over the age of 3, there is a charge of 30€ per person, which includes breakfast, bedding, and housekeeping.

My name is François, and I’ve lived my whole life in Mas de Riols, where my father founded Balladânes, a company that organized multi-day donkey treks back in the 1980s.

How to get here?
If you're following your GPS, that's fine, but be careful with MAPS, which will suggest taking back roads when you're coming from Montpellier via Clermont l'Hérault.
BE SURE to go through Mas Blanc; if your GPS route doesn’t include it, it will take you down impassable dirt roads.
Otherwise, access is good for vehicles up to 5 meters long, and a large parking lot on site will allow you to park easily.

My structure
Located on the heights of the Tour-sur-Orb, lined with hazel trees, fig trees, oaks, and ash trees, with a stream flowing at its lowest point and a panoramic view of the Orb Valley and the Boussague Viaduct, I believe our location will be a hit with guests of all ages.
We offer unique accommodations (bubbles and teepees); all of these units (2 of each) have an interior area of 28.6 square meters.
Each features a double bed and two single beds.
We also offer one open site without on-site electricity but with access to restrooms and an electrical outlet, as well as a site for a campervan with or without electricity and restroom access.
An open-air café with a beautiful view is on-site, serving simple, hearty meals made with local ingredients at a great value. Drinks include lemonade, Perrier, beer, cocktails, wine, and digestifs.
Territory description
The Orb Valley offers many opportunities right in our area.
Located near Lake Salagou (25 min), Lake Avène (35 min), the Colombières Gorges, and Heric (30 min).
There’s no shortage of recreational activities in the area.
On rainy days, a brand-new movie theater in Bédarieux can help pass the time.
