Sleeping on the Water in Provence: The Floating Cabin Experience

What if your next weekend in Provence was different? Not in a hotel. Not in a farmhouse. But on the water, surrounded by nature, just a few meters from vineyards and lavender fields. The Cabanes des Grands Cépages invite you to a rare experience: sleeping on the water in the heart of the Vaucluse, in a comfortable cabin designed for true disconnection.

‍

Why choose a floating cabin for a weekend in the Vaucluse?

The Vaucluse is one of the most enchanting natural regions in France. The Luberon plateaus, perched villages, endless lavender fields, and golden vineyards in autumn. But it's also a region to experience differently: slowly, fully, far from the noise.

Sleeping on the water is a unique way to reconnect with nature. Upon waking, the water gently stirs, the birds are the first to sing, and the Provençal landscape awakens with you. It's an unforgettable escape.

The floating cabins of Cabanes des Grands Cépages were designed to offer exactly that: a complete change of scenery, without sacrificing comfort. Each cabin is well-isolated from the others, no crowding, no neighbor noise. Just you, the water, and Provence.
