High above a little waterfall, these tree houses stand out from any others - the latest is 22 metres (72 ft) high, which earns it the title of the highest tree house in Europe. The lovely surroundings and the Château de Canon add to the charm of your stay.Until it was supplanted by the "Nid d'Aigle" (Eagle's Nest), the 16 m high (52 ft) "Cascade" tree house was considered to be the highest in France, overlooking the little river which gave it its name. It has an area of 15 m² (160 sq ft) and can accommodate two people. Its little sister, 10 m (33 ft) above the ground, is also very cosy and can accommodate 3 people. To reach the summit you'll take a wooden staircase and cross two rope bridges in complete safety. The tree houses are located in the middle of the park surrounding the Château de Canon, with a unique view of its ancient trees. The Château, deep in the Pays d'Auge countryside, is still occupied by the descendants of its founder. You will want to take advantage of your stay to visit the estate gardens, the splendid chartreuse and the park with its many streams, or even follow the farm animal discovery trail with its free range chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, turkeys and pheasants, not forgetting the llama.
The latest arrival, the Nid d'Aigle tree house, breaks every record at 22 metres high (72 ft)! It is the highest tree house in Europe, built in the fork of a 250 year-old Oriental plane tree. The south-facing patio gives you a splendid view of the surrounding countryside, from the canopy of the Château gardens and a wind generator, to the hills of the Pays d'Auge and the Normandy Canal.
