Description

Come and discover life in a troglodytic dwelling and stay on our roof in the middle of the forest. It's a peaceful place to recharge your batteries, where flora and fauna are king. We're building up the campsite over time, improving comfort little by little. Ideal for touring cyclists, seasonal workers, nature lovers, ...

The setting

Nestled in the middle of the forest, you'll have a panoramic view over the countryside and fields, which is what makes this place so charming.
You'll need to climb above our house to reach the campsite.

Hiking nearby. The Loire River is just a few kilometers away. There's also a swimming pond in the neighboring village and a guinguette.

The spots

You'll have to climb (it's a bit of a climb!) up the hill above our cellars to get to the forest. All pitches are in the shade of trees, the terrain is not flat, but the pitches have been designed to be. We only accept small (or medium-sized) tents.

The sanitary facilities

An outdoor shower with hot water is available. There are dry toilets in the forest, as well as a sink for washing your hands and so on.
You must use natural soaps. We sell homemade soaps on site (2 euros).

The amenities

A kitchen is available under a shelter, where you'll find a stove, cutlery and other cooking utensils. Gas is extra (3 euros).
There's no fridge or electric appliance, as we want to keep energy consumption to a minimum. You'll find coolers to keep your food cold, and we can put ice packs in our fridge.
Games and books are also available.
We also have 1 slackline and hammocks.
In the forest, you'll find solar panels to charge your phones.

The activities

The region is very popular with tourists, thanks to its many chateaux and troglodytic sites where you can step back in time, as well as the beautiful Loire River, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which lies nearby. You'll never be bored. We can provide you with brochures of local activities and IGN maps.

Other things

We value sharing, but respect each other's privacy.
We're always ready to help and advise.

There's a flour and bread mill 2 kilometers away.
You'll also find two restaurants serving fouées (a local specialty) a few kilometers away (Grézillé, Sarré, Saumur or Louresse Rochemenier).
The nearest shops are a 5-minute drive away.

We may not be there when you arrive. You'll then be able to settle in on your own.

Packed lunches of local produce available on reservation (€40).
Breakfast and brunch also available on reservation the day before (from 10€).
Free morning tea and coffee.
Drinks and ice cream available on site.
Possibility of reserving your own bread for the morning.
Forest bath session (breathing, sensory discovery, emotion and stress management) on reservation.


Shuttle service to Anjou Vélo Vintage available on July 1 and 2 (with bikes).
Murder party weekend on June (phone number hidden). Please contact us for these dates before booking. Another date is planned for September.

Hours are flexible, so there's always someone on hand or you can arrive on your own.
Pets are allowed in respect of the site and other travelers, and we have a dog and three very friendly cats.

  • Very nice place and hosts, close to the Loire and the city of Gennes-Val-de-Loire. Small drawback for people who sleep in tents, installation on earth (no grass) so ground a little hard.

  • Hello! We had a very pleasant stay at "la trogloglo", welcomed by Priscillia, who listens well and is always available. The place is very pleasant, to take into account can be, the very long distance and in strong slope between the carpark and the tent (all at the bottom of wood to be quiet) especially under 35 in the shade...

  • Superb place in the middle of nature, flowers, a vegetable garden, small philosophical signs... Without forgetting an available and friendly host. In short, only happiness! The originality of the troglodyte house is not to be missed!
    Thank you for the welcome!

    We hope to return there!
