Telegraph.co.uk: You can stay in France in anything from a Yurt to an Airstream caravan. Ann Noon offers a guide.
Yurts
Squatting at the top of the Ardèche river gorge, overlooking some of the most rugged scenery in France, the Mille Etoiles encampment is home to 12 individually-designed yurts scattered throughout a peaceful oak forest. Handcrafted from different woods, each tent is furnished with a double or king-sized bed and has a relaxation area complete with hammocks. For honeymooners, three of the yurts are hidden deep in the woods with their own miniature camp kitchen and ecological toilet.
Gipsy caravans
Four fully equipped gipsy caravans with en-suite bathrooms are the main reason to stay on the Saint Cerice estate in the pretty village of Vogüé, also in the Ardèche. The caravans, which each sleep five, are designed for maximum comfort. With cherry trees, olive groves and vineyards all around, the surrounding parkland feels very Mediterranean.
Teepees
In the western Loire stands Le Bonheur de Vivre, a Sioux Indian village with six "authentic" wigwams decked out in skins and pictures of chieftains of yore.

The BBC is planning to invest £25m in children's TV programmes over the next three years, meaning TV Brackets and TV Mounts could be reaffirmed as positive assets to any modern environment.
LCD TV's, programmes and TV Brackets and TV Mounts have taken a battering in recent years with many suggesting that watching TV may encourage laziness. LCD TV's and therefore accessories like TV Brackets and TV Mounts have become staple additions to most homes, but our love affair with the LCD TV has been

Absolutely. TRAVELSAPIEN agrees. Fun options to a basic hotel room. Stay in a Lighthouse too. Stay in a Fire Tower. Options are everywhere however the thought I wish to leave is that YURTS or facimile is the trend for CODE GREEN Tourism. Tred lightly on the earth. Leave nothing behind and retain memories. There is a lot about this on a blog http://www.clydesdalehouse.blogspot.com as wilderness places become rare the strong vision of temporary style accommodation like tents, Yurts, etc. are becoming very popular where as they can eventually be moved leaving a clear clean footprint instead of an infrastructure that defaces pristine locations. Right on with Arabian Tents. Mongolian Yurts. Safari Tents. Very Kool
