A bohemian night in a caravan as quirky accomodation
In Aix-les-Bains – Riviera of the Alps, the Greppes caravan or the caravan in the estate of Saint Cerice in the Drôme will allow you to share with your family a very original way of immersing yourselves in the nomad lifestyle. Discover another way of living and become a stall holder, Bedouin or gypsy for the weekend. Pretend that you’re part of a travelling circus, have a fun and lively evening with gypsy music playing in the background by the fire, and don’t hesitate to lose yourself in the music. Let yourself go, in this light, nomadic ambience, whilst telling your children traditional stories about gypsy life. Make the most of the surrounding countryside to teach them how to test their balance, do somersaults in the grass or acrobatics of all kinds, and have fun comparing your flexibility to theirs (watch out for cramps the next day ;-))! This is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to circus tricks!
