Domaine Les Moulins: Camping in style

It is high time that we gave camping another chance. The Domaine Les Moulins campsite on the Island of Noirmoutier is proof that our healthier attitudes towards the environment have led to a boom in the camping industry. So what’s it all about? This five star campsite is the work of former Cartier CEO, AlainDominique Perrin and is the very essence of eco-friendly luxury.

Upmarket camping.


It’s not uncommon to hear his name in the same breath as Cartier but perhaps we ought to get used to ‘Alain Dominique Perrin’ also being used in association with the term ‘Original Camping.’ His campsite, located at the edge of one of the Island’s most beautiful beaches, is founded on the principle of respecting the environment, whilst still providing the best levels of comfort. The result? An original approach to camping holidays: accommodation that is truly at one with nature, trees planted to preserve the surrounding dunes and caravans replaced with sumptuous eco-lodges.

Embrace nature!

Awaiting its 5 star classification and faithful to its original purpose the Domaine Les Moulins’ concept of ‘Original Camping’ has installed a series of new Eco- lodges, called ‘Cocoons,’ to further promote its philosophy of 100% natural comfort. The proof? Spacious Eco-lodges can accommodate 4 to 8 people, and are made from clear canvas and cosy wood, comprising of a lounge with sofa-bed, an open-plan kitchen, a double room, a mezzanine children’s room and a bathroom complete with shower, toilet, and washbasin. The campsite also boasts a waterfront terrace, a spa and the all-important bar-brasserie ‘La Cabane’ situated next to the pool. Providing the weather is good, the Domaine Les Moulins has it all!
