Rouen
Sleep in the rustling treetops in wood cabins located some 30 minutes northeast of Rouen at this fun place. It's also a working farm with cows and chickens running about, and a good choice for families with small children (cabins are small but cosy and sleep up to six). Breakfast is put in a basket, which you hoist up.
Other meals can also be provided, upon request (€18 to €24).
