La Toile sous Les Étoiles, a small-scale hospitality site in France’s Creuse region, is positioning itself as a niche destination blending outdoor camping with elements of boutique lodging.
The property offers a mix of accommodations, including vintage 1970s caravans and furnished tents, all designed with features such as custom-made furniture and solar lighting.
Each unit is equipped with a private terrace and outdoor kitchenette, allowing guests to enjoy privacy while engaging with the surrounding natural environment.
The site can accommodate up to 20 guests, making it suitable for both individual stays and private bookings. Amenities include free parking, Wi-Fi, family rooms, and access to a swimming pool.
While accommodations are independent, the property also provides shared facilities. These include a communal kitchen with full cooking equipment, a dining area, and a toy library featuring books, board games, and a video projector.
Each unit has its own private bathroom located in a centralized common space, balancing personal privacy with accessible facilities.
The location is marketed as a base to explore the Combrailles massif, a region at the gateway to the Puy de Dôme.
Activities highlighted nearby include hiking through lake and forest landscapes, visiting castles and villages, and participating in local cultural experiences such as the Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie in Aubusson.
Other attractions in the wider Auvergne region include the volcanoes of Lemptégy and Vulcania, Lake Vassivière, and the Wolves of Guéret park.
For outdoor hospitality operators, La Toile sous Les Étoiles illustrates the growing demand for hybrid offerings that combine traditional camping with higher-end amenities.
Its approach demonstrates how small properties can position themselves within the broader glamping and experiential travel market by emphasizing privacy, community spaces, and connections to regional culture and nature.
With capacity capped at 20 guests, the model also highlights how operators with limited scale can market exclusivity and intimate group experiences as a competitive advantage.
