For a sheltered stopover along the towpath, check out the municipal cabins at La Benâtre in Origné.
Each hut is insulated (but not heated) and consists of a bunk bed (1 double bed below, 1 single bed above), a table, stools, lighting, electrical sockets and public wifi. Public sanitary facilities (toilet, shower, washbasin) are available at the lock-keeper's house next door. The cabins can be locked with a key. Ideal for a quiet night by the water, along the Vélo-Francette.
Pets are not allowed in the cabins.
Bed linen and towels :
- 7 € per person (duvets, pillows, sheets, towels and flannels).
Please note: the cabins are bare by default: no blankets or duvets, these are included in the option only!
