Gîte La Cabane Tchanquée de la forêt

The Tchanqu%E9 chalet, a unique lodging option, is modeled after the fishermen’s huts on stilts found in the Arcachon Basin. It is located at the far end of the Ecouves campground, on the edge of the forest. Come enjoy a unique experience surrounded by nature. Ideally situated at the foot of the Écouves Forest—the largest forest in Normandy—and just a stone’s throw from a beautiful pond, Le Tchanqué offers an ideal location at the crossroads of hiking trails (GR22, Chemin de Saint-Michel, GR36, and Véloscénie), signposted trail running routes, and just a few kilometers from Alençon.
