Unusual night in a bubble

Presentation Practical information
The night we became bubble-dwellers under the sky of Saint-Maime, between Provence and Luberon.

To freedom!
Determined to escape from everything, we head south to visit the latest additions to Attrap'Rêves, the three bubbles installed on the heights of Saint-Maime in the Alpes de Haute-Provence.
The setting is perfect; we are lost and happy to be so amidst white oaks and pine trees.
In this absolute calm, nature belongs to us.

Cédric welcomes us, and very quickly, we understand how much he loves this sublime setting where, with Aurélie, they have established the Haras de Cassandre. A horse whisperer who respects nature so much he didn’t want to cut down any trees, he managed to "place" three bubbles on this steep estate facing the village of Dauphin.
That evening, a charming family from Marseille had reserved the two transparent bubbles, the Zen and Love Nature bubbles, where only nature surrounds you. In the morning, they were happy. The father, who looked like a rugby player, confided that he couldn’t help but open his eyes "just for the pleasure of seeing the surrounding nature before falling asleep." A childhood dream shared as a family?

Ours would be the Glamour bubble, the cocoon for lovers. Lovers for lovers, we plunged into an outdoor professional jacuzzi, and it was perfect. Thank you, Attrap'Rêves, for offering us this jacuzzi session.

Did you know that bubbling is not camping?
A top-notch bed, a cozy duvet, and a heater for cool nights if two duvets weren’t enough, everything contributes to our well-being. I was almost disappointed to discover electrical outlets, as I was ready to give up my smartphone for a shooting star! Those hesitant to try the experience will appreciate the alternative of the Suite bubble and its small adjoining bubble offering a private corner (dry toilet, small sink, and solar water pouch).

Under the stars and summer storms, the experience won us over until breakfast. For Aurélie, who wakes up at dawn, delights us with homemade bread and croissants in a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.

Isolated from each other, the three bubbles attract both hikers and city dwellers. If you come with your dog or horse, Cédric and Aurélie will take care of them.
From their project plans, a petting farm, horseback rides, and new bubbles will emerge: a 1001 Nights bubble and a surprise.

The stars and time have passed; we will return to discover this surprise.
