Gîte Le chalet Tchanqué d'Ecouves

The Tchanqué chalet is a model of a fisherman's hut on stilts in the Arcachon Bay. It is located at the end of the Ecouves campsite on the edge of the forest. Come and enjoy a unique experience surrounded by nature on an educational and therapeutic farm. You will live alongside goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and turkeys. Ideally located at the foot of the Écouves forest, the largest forest in Normandy, and a stone's throw from a beautiful pond, the Tchanqué offers you an ideal location at the crossroads of hiking trails (GR22, Chemin de Saint Michel, GR36, and Véloscénie) and signposted trails, and just a few kilometers from Alençon. Bread and pastries can be ordered from July 12 to August 17 for the year 2025.
