About
The Cabane de Marie, nicknamed “a balloon ride”, is one of the romantic cabins at Brin de Chevrette. Perched about seven metres up an oak, it is reached at the end of a small path. It is mainly designed for two, with a 140 cm double bed and dry toilets. Toilet blocks with a shower and WC are on site. From the terrace you can see the sails of the Moulin de la Garenne and enjoy a very calm atmosphere, to the sound of birds and frogs. Breakfast is served on the terrace. It is open all year round. Sheets are provided and pets are not allowed. For two people wanting a cabin more intimate than Anna and less extreme than Mathilde, Marie is probably the best compromise.
