Spend the night in Europe's tallest treehouse in the French Normandy!

Treehouse Eagle's Nest
An overnight stay in the 22-metre-high 'Eagle's Nest' on a plane tree in France offers spectacular views

The tallest tree house of the Normandy (and, by the way, the whole of Europe) is installed as a single accommodation for two persons in the crown of an oriental plane tree in the middle of the lush landscape of Calvado. 

Easy Access is provided via a three-part suspension bridge (secured by networks) and ladder, but anyone who is prone to dizziness should better refrain from staying at fluctuating heights on top of the oriental plane tree. Guests must also carry a charged mobile phone and bring good hiking boots.

The intimate cabin on the 250-year-old tree offers just enough space for 2 adults from 18 years of age. 

Furnishings in the 12 m² living room are reduced to the bare minimum and consist of a double bed, a mirror and several shelves. Bed linen with sheets, pillows and blanket as well as a towel are ready on arrival. In addition to a battery-operated lamp with 3 hours of operation, only candles are available for lighting. On the 8-square-metre terrace, next to a table and 2 chairs, there is a covered makeshift toilet and a small washbasin with five litres stock of water.

The limited space makes the accommodation interesting especially for people in love who are looking for proximity or eco-enthusiasts who do not need running water and feel that the lack of electricity and restricted lighting is an advantage. On cool days the tree house can be heated by wood or oil stove. 

A set of binoculars allows you to admire the Norman skies, branches of trees and passing animals such as birds or squirrels.

Breakfast consisting of local organic products such as homemade apple juice, jam, fresh croissants and Pain de Chocolat is delivered to the tree house in the morning by a winch.

In addition to breakfast and aperitif (included in the overnight stay), you will also be able to choose the option delivered dinner and aperitif kit with cider or champagne. Normand dinner delivered hot to your hut includes local sliced sausage, confit leg of duck and pan-fried vegetables, organic Normandy tome and Normandy pie. All this accompanied by a good bottle of homemade cider from the farm of the nearby Château! 

Discover the animal kingdom, let the birds sing you to sleep, taste organic products from the nearby organic farm or enjoy a glass of wine in the castle cellar. Or simply admire the view of the adjacent castle park and the canal from your towering tree!
