La Belle Folie

This is a very cool camping with some special rooms. Maybe you can call it glamping. The rooms are designed by Nantes University architect students. And there will be more! All rooms are cool and different. We stayed in the spiderweb. That is a house with three rooms. Good when it is sun, but bad when it rains. I missed hooks in the small room for clothes and that you only can wash your hands in the main room. Main room is large with a lot of space in x, y and z. Breakfast is ok, a bit boring. Croissant, baguette, a small yoghurt and coffee. The vibe is really nice in this place. But we had a bad stay anyway. I will mention 2 things here. First night, our fire alarm went off (false alarm). The fire alarm is of course in the ceiling, almost 4 meters up. So it took some time to figure out how to turn it off. Luckily we had earplugs with us as it was very loud (as it should be). We managed with hangers and a side table to turn it off. It turned on again after 90 minutes….Then we couldn’t sleep anymore. The staff bought new alarms for the next night and we got a glass of wine. Our day after was though destroyed, as we were very tired. Our daughter could not really relax the night after either, as she was so nervous. Was a glass of wine enough for that? When you arrive they ask for the slots when you want to enjoy the nordic bath. Our last night we had booked it 18.00. When we came there, there were other people in it. It turns out that they were late and therefor we had to wait….what?? Should I wait because others have been late?? Yes, that was according to them, the best way to solve this. So instead of asking the people in the tub to leave, me and my daughter should wait for 20 minutes. In rain and 16 degC…in swimsuit and a towel, as no bathrobes are offered. We that didn’t do anything wrong. Not the right way to handle this according to me. Beer was served for making that up, after I complained. So, I have a hard time to decide what rating I should put. We did not have a good stay. We didn’t sleep well and ran into many small strange things. But it is a cool place with nice designed rooms. A lot of cool people that creates a relaxed vibe. I would recommend people to go here, but don’t have too high expectations.
