What if we traveled without going far? Around Paris, unusual getaways are multiplying: treehouses, floating houses, bubbles in the forest, tiny houses, and fairy-tale castles. Less than two hours from the capital, you can sleep facing a lake, stay in a 17th-century mill, or under a transparent dome with a view of the stars. These atypical accommodations reinvent the way to escape: a Nordic bath in Rambouillet, a spa in a cabin in Raray, a lodge facing the elephants in Thoiry, or a Japanese pavilion hidden in the Eure valley. Whether seeking luxury, nature, or simply surprise, these addresses offer extraordinary nights within a reach often less than two hours by car.
