Fulfill your childhood dream and turn into a nomad

The yurt (“home” in Mongolian) is a round bent structure used in Central Asia. No need to head all the way there, just drive through the Camargues region and stop at Lanuéjols in the Cévennes National Park. In the Domaine de Pradines’ yurts, you will sleep in a real double bed, relax in the swimming pool and eat in the vaulted dining room of an ancient Templar building.
