A comfortable vacation at Chalet Détente

Who says chalets only belong in the mountains?

They’re great in the country too!

A pretty wooden chalet lost in the heart of nature and bathed in the generous sunshine of the Ariège, rediscover camping from a new angle with the Chalet Détente!

A name that suits this chalet like a glove: its natural setting, with trees, singing birds, butterflies and brightly colored flowers, immediately invites you to relax.

Built entirely of wood, the chalet blends in perfectly with its surroundings: a real cocoon of fresh air on the edge of the fields, in the heart of a vast estate where peace and quiet reign supreme.

Lovers of nature and green vacations have found their piece of paradise…

Open-air living, coupled with all the comforts of a pleasant vacation rental: that’s what Chalet Détente has to offer, hidden away in its green setting at the La Serre eco-campground.

A charming accommodation, the chalet offers a living space that’s both simple and well thought-out.

Built predominantly of wood, fully furnished and equipped, with electric heating, Chalet Détente offers optimal conditions for your stay in all seasons: it’s just as suitable for a midsummer vacation on the hottest days as it is for an early-spring or late-season getaway on cooler evenings.

Whatever the season, Chalet Détente invites you to live indoors as well as outdoors, in the spirit of camping!

A pleasant wooden terrace extends over 7m² at the front of your rental property: a shaded area to protect you from the sun, where you’ll have a front-row seat to appreciate the unspoilt nature of the Domaine La Serre.

The picnic table is a great place to gather, and the barbecue ensures relaxed, gourmet evenings!

Surrounding the chalet, 250m² of garden create an intimate space, sheltered from any nuisance: at La Serre campsite, each pitch is isolated from its neighbors, so you don’t have to face each other!

This beautiful terrace communicates with the interior via a large bay window, keeping the Chalet Détente living area bright and pleasant at all times of day, with a table for gathering and a sofa for relaxing.

The cleverly appointed kitchen area is fully equipped to ensure your complete independence during your vacation: 4 electric hotplates, extractor hood, sink, fridge-freezer, coffee maker, full crockery set… prepare your meals as you wish at the chalet.

With a surface area of 35m², the Chalet Détente easily accommodates up to 6 people for the vacations.

Sleeping facilities include an adult bedroom with a double bed and a second children’s/friends’ bedroom with 2 single beds.

The sofa in the living room, when unfolded, provides 2 additional beds.

The chalet is also equipped with its own private bathroom, complete with shower, washbasin and toilet – a welcome touch of comfort at the campsite!

Whether it’s a family getaway with the kids, a nature getaway with friends, or a romantic, intimate couple’s getaway, Chalet Détente welcomes everyone for every occasion.

Our four-legged friends are also welcome: pets are welcome at the chalet.

The La Serre campsite opens its doors from April 01, early in the season, and remains open until October 31: for a weekend, a week or a month in Ariège, booking the Chalet Détente guarantees you the best conditions for your stay in all seasons!

From 3-star campsite to Chalet Détente

Staying at Chalet Détente also means enjoying the privileged setting of La Serre eco-campsite: a green campsite offering all the services and facilities you’ll need on vacation.

3-star comfort guaranteed!

In fine weather, when temperatures rise in the Ariège, the swimming pool at La Serre eco-campsite invites you to relax and unwind.

The natural solarium with its deckchairs is perfect for sunbathing, while the large pool gives you plenty of time to swim laps and cool off whenever you feel the need!

The pool is also a delight for children, who can play safely in the shallow paddling pool.

In addition to the swimming pool, La Serre’s extensive facilities offer a wide range of activities for young and old alike.

The playground features soccer, volleyball and badminton courts, as well as the all-important table soccer and ping-pong tables.

And so that parents can take a breather too, the campsite’s kids’ club keeps the little ones entertained!

Like the wifi connection available free of charge from the green campsite reception, everything is designed to make your stay at Chalet Détente as simple as it is pleasant.

Need to clean your clothes? Laundry facilities are freely available.

Feeling peckish? Head for the grocery store and its selection of regional products, or choose a takeaway on your terrace: pizzas, charcuterie boards, confits, salads, roast chickens, French fries… and every morning, fresh bread and croissants are delivered.

A must during the vacations!

While the Chalet Détente’s peacefulness is important to campers, its conviviality is no less so: meet up at the campsite reception, on the bar terrace, to enjoy an ice cream or share a drink in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that’s also cosmopolitan: some residents come from far and wide to enjoy the Ariège sunshine!

In fact, feedback on both Chalet Détente and La Serre’s general services has been very good.

On the Internet, Tripadvisor has awarded it its certificate of excellence, and reviews and comments on Google, Camping2Be and Facebook testify to the quality of our welcome and the availability of our staff.

In this human-sized establishment, you can be sure of always being welcome at Chalet Détente!

The Chalet Détente, in the heart of nature

You’ll love camping La Serre for its 3-star facilities and warm welcome, but also simply for its exceptional setting.

More than just a campsite where tents line up in onion rows, the campsite itself is a truly unspoilt natural area to explore from your Chalet Détente.

Nature lovers have a field day!

The hilly, well-treed estate extends over 10.5 hectares, with some areas left unmowed to promote the health of the local ecosystem.

A protected natural area, Domaine La Serre is classified as an LPO© refuge by the French League for the Protection of Birds.

All around Chalet Détente, the song of our feathered friends accompanies you throughout the vacations!

Proof of the excellent health of the estate’s biodiversity is the variety of brightly colored butterflies that visit you even in the garden of Chalet Détente…

And keep an eye on the ground as you stroll through the La Serre estate: these large, sun-exposed dry lawns are the ideal breeding ground for more than twenty species of orchid!

Observing nature becomes a constant occupation at the chalet…

This privileged vacation environment is no accident.

The eco-camping owners have always been committed to minimizing the impact of their activity on the estate.

Real green camping at Chalet Détente, comfortable, eco-friendly accommodation for responsible, eco-friendly vacations!

Among the measures taken by the La Serre campsite to protect the environment is the systematic sorting of waste: at Chalet Détente, paper, glass and packaging each have their own bin, while bio-bins are provided for composting.

Reception will also collect your used batteries.

Likewise, low-energy light bulbs are used to illuminate your chalet, and solar power is used throughout the campsite, which is self-sufficient in electricity thanks to the installation of photovoltaic panels and the sunshine of the Ariège region.

Water is used wisely and sparingly, and no chemicals or pollutants are used in campsite maintenance.

In short, you can sleep with a clear conscience at Chalet Détente: your vacation is a respectful one for the natural world around you!

Explore the Ariège from your Chalet Détente

A comfortable vacation base, Chalet Détente is also an excellent base from which to explore the region.

As opposed to a simple tent, the chalet is a great place to stay in any season, from the early spring to the late autumn, including, of course, beautiful summer days.

You’d be wrong to deprive yourself – Ariège is a magnificent region!

In the south of France, in the heart of the Occitanie region, all around Domaine La Serre you’ll find a peaceful atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of tourism.

A destination for insiders!

The neighborhood is made up of fields and an organic sheep farm, just a stone’s throw from the small Occitan village of Aigues-Vives: the landscape is undulating with gentle reliefs heralding the Pyrenees, which face the campsite.

Whether you’re at the market, visiting local producers or enjoying a delicious meal, take the time to discover the products of the Ariege region: fresh organic fruit and vegetables, lamb and duck meats, a variety of charcuterie, honeys and jams, as well as AOC wines from Occitanie… you can bring it all back, and cook it, at Chalet Détente!

Here, outdoor activities have pride of place.

Accrobranche, river kayaking, rafting, caving, paragliding… thrills to be experienced close to nature.

A word of advice: explore Ariège at your own pace, on foot or by bike, choosing from among the forty or so signposted itineraries that criss-cross the region.

For a day hike or just a stroll around the campsite, the Chalet Détente is just a few minutes from the start of the first trails, right at the entrance to La Serre campsite!

Ariège also has a rich historical heritage to discover.

Just an hour’s drive away, you’ll find the superb Carcassonne and its impressive ramparts, a medieval city listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Then there’s Mirepoix, a pretty neighboring town with a typical market and half-timbered houses.

We’re right in the heart of Cathar country, and the castles that combine the beauty of architecture and nature are not to be missed: Montségur, Arques, Puivert, Lagarde, Foix…

Other regional sights include the archeological caves of the Ariège: the prehistoric paintings of the Niaux cave, the crossing of the Mas d’Azil cave, the little train of the Lombrives cave, or the underground river of Labouiche, the Venice of the Ariège… sites that are both beautiful and unusual.
