Wigwams and things called Yurts

I stumbled across a website yesterday of a farm in the Limousin offering wigwam and yurt holidays in the Limousin. It seems a yurt is a round tent of asian origin. From a family holiday point of view it looks like a lot of fun. If it wasn't so close I think I would try a holiday there.

I'm sure they are very nice, but it does give the impression of being Eurocamps for the sort of people who go to Center Parcs rather than Pontins.

Yurts are Mongol tents and rather cute.  The daughter of a friend has one in the Pyrenees (65) and lives in it all year round.  She has a wood burning stove to heat it in the winter and its really cosy.  The sheep wool lining makes it smell a bit but after a while I guess you get used to it.
Not for me, though - no hot and cold running water and windows facing the seaWink [;-)]

We stayed for a night  in one in the Aubrac whilst walking part of the GR 65. Quite comfortable compared with some of the  bunk beds in the other gite d'etaps.
