What to do during a treehouse stay? Forest activities and experiences

Just an hour from Paris, Oise reveals a sophisticated approach to forest retreats. Immersing oneself in the foliage is no longer just unusual accommodation, but a true high-end outdoor hospitality experience. The estate Coucoo Cabanes des Grands Chênes, located in Raray, perfectly illustrates this art of living. Gaining height allows you to combine the silence of the undergrowth, respect for ecosystems, and excellent residential services.

An absolute immersion in the canopy

Staying several meters above the ground redefines our relationship with space and time. The estate features 25  treehouses meticulously nestled among two-hundred-year-old oak trees. The architecture of these retreats favors clean lines and raw materials, while integrating an exceptional level of comfort for this type of structure. Contrary to common misconceptions about suspended lodges, our luxury treehouses offer full hook-ups including running water, electricity, as well as a shower and conventional toilets. This approach guarantees complete disconnection without requiring any compromise on contemporary comfort.

The alliance of well-being and forest gastronomy

The rhythm of a day up high revolves around sensory pleasures and rest. To perfect muscular and mental relaxation, access to our wellness area or booking a treehouse equipped with a private Nordic bath is an obvious choice. The experience continues at meal times with a reinvented room service. Our culinary experiences , consisting of gourmet baskets showcasing local producers, are delivered to the foot of your tree. Simply activate a pulley system from your terrace to hoist up your dinner or breakfast, thus preserving absolute privacy with a view of the landscape.

Cultural discoveries and historical walks

Leaving your suspended terrace invites exploration of a fascinating architectural heritage. The forty-hectare park encourages long activities gentle, ideal for walking or cycling. The estate revolves around the majestic Château de Raray, whose unique aesthetic served as the original setting for Jean Cocteau's 1945 cinematic masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast. Strolling through these grounds allows you to combine the tranquility of a wooded reserve with the discovery of an entire piece of French cultural history, thus offering a stay of rare elegance.
