LesTipis du Bonheur de Vivre

About

Nestled on a 7‑hectare meadow beside a tranquil lake and the Sablé‑sur‑Sarthe river, Les Tipis du Bonheur de Vivre offers a truly immersive American‑Native experience in the heart of France. Guests can choose from a wide range of themed stays—such as the popular Indian Legend and Wild Indi­an Legend weekends—or simply rent a tipi for a memorable night in the wilderness. Every tipi is outfitted with a comfortable bed, a central fire pit, and the opportunity to share stories around the fire under a starlit sky. The campsite also hosts live music, barbecues, dance performances, and guided nature walks, allowing visitors to explore the rich cultural traditions of the North American Plains. The camp’s cultural programme is complemented by a range of practical activities: kayaking, paddleboarding, tennis, and even hiking trails that wind through the surrounding countryside. Families can enjoy a dedicated educational path that introduces young guests to Native American history, while couples can indulge in quiet evenings by the fire and carefully curated storytelling sessions. Guests’ reviews consistently praise the serene ambience, the warm hospitality of the staff, and the authenticity of the cultural experiences. The informal, family‑friendly atmosphere makes it a wonderful getaway for all ages, while the occasional wildlife encounters—wolves, bisons, and other native fauna—add a touch of wonder to the stay. Whether you’re looking for a short overnight trip or a full‑week immersion into Native culture, Les Tipis du Bonheur de Vivre delivers a unique blend of adventure and tranquility for every traveller.
