Kabanéo offers two types of gîtes, each quite different from the other: on the one hand, you'll find the Chalet for a cocooning stay, and on the other, the Kabanes, each equipped with a Norwegian bath (an outdoor heated bath) for a more unusual stay. While the chalet is more for people looking for comfort, the Kabanes are micro-chalets measuring just 5 m², offering a very different hotel experience from those we're used to. All the gîtes are located in the heart of the Fontainebleau forest, an idyllic spot for a weekend in the great outdoors! What's more, Julien and Julie, the creators of the gîtes, offer a wide range of sporting experiences in the forest, so you can spend two days in the heart of nature: supervised climbing sessions, mountain bike hire, yoga classes, hikes... And don't forget the IGN maps (which list all the hiking trails in a given area), or the board games to liven up your evening!

On the service side, Kabanéo offers home-cooked meals using organic ingredients (starter-main course-dessert for €20 per person), as well as breakfast boards (also home-cooked and organic) with oatmeal porridge, fruit pancakes, chia seed pudding, muesli and fromage blanc... For €12 per person.

At Kabanéo, the emphasis is on well-being, disconnection and getting back to nature: for example, wifi is available on request (for telecommuting) to enable you to disconnect completely; you have access to nature all day and can even choose to walk to the gîtes from the Avon-Fontainebleau transilien train station, for a 1h30 walk (otherwise, there are shuttles or you come by car). For a weekend in the fresh air, head to Samois-sur-Seine to try out the Kabanes insolites or the chalet with sauna!
