L'alternatif, Eco-friendly campground in Huriel, France.
L'alternatif is an eco-friendly campground along the Magieure River in Huriel spread across two hectares of natural land with multiple lodging types. The facilities include yurts, wooden cabins, suspended tents, and wagon-style structures that provide varied sleeping arrangements for different preferences.
The campground was founded after Maïté and Sébastien spent time traveling across Europe in their converted van. Their firsthand experience on the road motivated them to create this sustainable lodging project as an alternative to traditional camping options.
The site functions as a meeting place where guests connect and share experiences during their stay. Communal meals and shared spaces encourage visitors to interact with others who value a social camping experience.
The site has a fully equipped shared kitchen with refrigerators, cooking equipment, and covered picnic tables along with WiFi access. The variety of lodging styles allows visitors to choose their preferred sleeping option based on budget and comfort preferences.
Some sleeping spots are suspended tents positioned specifically to allow guests to observe the night sky from bed. This unusual setup lets visitors enjoy stargazing from their resting place while experiencing the open air in an unconventional way.
