L'asiatique

L'asiatique is a roomy yurt, about 20 square meters, raised on a platform among trees inside a 10-hectare recreational forest park. It sits near a river, and the water that feeds the shower comes straight from it; there is also a dry toilet rather than plumbed facilities. A wide sofa converts to a bed, a gas stove handles cooking, and a wood stove keeps the space warm, with firewood supplied as part of the stay.

Breakfast, fresh linen, and wood are included in the nightly rate. The surrounding park has been set up with free-to-use extras scattered through the trees: two fire pits, a bowling lane, two ping-pong tables, a badminton area, a tea salon, a sunny clearing, an observation and meditation platform, and a secluded pavilion for couples. Tables and chairs are placed outdoors for eating in the open, and the host can arrange a biological dinner on request.

The setup suits two people looking for a quiet, off-grid night or longer. There's no hot tub, but the river shower and forest surroundings give the stay its own character. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, check-out is by noon, and the minimum stay is just one night, though the host notes guests are welcome to stay a week or even a month. Booking runs direct through the property's listing page, with rates starting at $143 a night.
