Description

A green setting, a wild island in the heart of the Amiens hortillonnages on an orchard of plenty with all the low-tech comforts: dry toilets, shower in a willow hut, natural straw hut, spacious teepee tents.
Between an eco-lodge and a scout camp, a unique adventure to live. #DigitalDetox #Glamping #BellTent #Permaculture #Wildlife #LowTech

  • We rented this island for an EVG, the surprise for the groom was topissime. Very good welcome from Olivier and his wife Valerie, everything necessary for an evening in the nature. Kindness and good mood were at the rendezvous. Olivier even helped us to organize the small tour of the lake for the future groom in unicorn :).
    I warmly recommend this place

  • Unforgettable. An ideal place to get away from it all. You have to take your time to really enjoy it. Night a little cold, cover yourself well.

  • Small idyllic weekend...
    The welcome was very nice, Valerie and Olivier put us quickly at ease.
    Heavenly environment and very exotic.
    We benefited from an "up grade" with a night in a teepee in exchange of a hand to dredge the bank.
    A return to the essential, rustic comfort that gives a side "end of the world" associated with many facilities such as hammocks, hanging chairs, huts in the trees ...
    Possibility to walk on several islands and loan of a boat for a tour in the hortillonnages.
    The perfection ! ????

  • Olivier has created an incredibly beautiful, secluded little world that will allow you to fulfill any of your Robinson Crusoe fantasies in the heart of the Somme. The trip to his hidden island is via a stunning trip by rowboat into a spooky/cool overgrown creek that expands into a little paradise. You get the best of both worlds with some passionately constructed facilities - castaway kitchen and dining areas which have to be seen to be believed, toilet and shower; all nestled in a lovingly curated rambling orchard. Of course the big fireplace area was also great. We enjoyed ourselves so much.
