Welcome to Canvaschic at Mille Etoiles in Southern France  - a camp, nomadic and adventurous in spirit that moves and grows with the seasons and the people that come to stay.

Set in the heart of the Ardeche Gorge Nature Reserve, our nomadic tents make an ideal environment for those needing a true return to nature. Carefree, wild and uncomplicated. Simple pleasures, effortlessly enjoyed.

Spend magical moments with familiy and friends. Space, freedom and time for all to camp, chat, cycle, clamber, canoe or just canoodle; at canvaschic there is something for everyone to discover.

From May through to September we host individual holidays and group events. In the Spring we have a varied program of courses and special trips on offer here. Check our calendar for more information and offers.......... Join us for long weekends or spring breaks

From July, the balmy days and nights of our ‘Summer Open Season’ unfold. Be touched and energised by nature. Enjoy summer days seemingly without end, wandering shady paths, dipping toes in the river, then winding down to a communal supper, and perhaps a story or song in ‘Le Grand Coeur’.

Or watch the seasons turn in the Autumn, warm days and crisp, starry nights; hot chocolate on the terrace, and early to bed with a hot-water bottle.

'Le Grand Coeur' our new double-decker yurt space in the heart of the forest is ideal for music, photography, yoga and meditation groups or familiy weddings and can be rented by private groups. 

We aim to offer all this with the minimum impact to our forest. We are here for a few months a year, after which the wild boar happily resume management duties.

When was the last time you stared at the stars?

See you here in 2010!
