Between Carnac’s stones and Quiberon’s sea winds, seven kilometres from Auray and old St-Goustan, the lanes turn soft and green. That’s where Dihan Évasion lives—an ancestral farm Myriam and Arno traded classrooms for, then gently turned into a patchwork of ways to sleep: a Mongolian yurt; a wooden caravan with painted trim; tree houses; even tents that float between trunks. Slow choices rather than showy ones.
Among the maritime pines sits Baman. In Celtic, the name is an invitation: settle down. It fits. The treehouse faces a small Celtic fountain and seems to lower its voice to match the hush around it. The path is kind, the access easy—Dihan’s most approachable perch—which makes arriving feel like exhaling.
Outside, a wide balcony wraps the front like an arm around a shoulder. Morning smells of resin and damp wood. Birds test a few notes, then commit to the day. Coffee tastes different up here—rounder, somehow. By afternoon, the light comes in slanted, perfect for a book you may or may not read. Come autumn, red squirrels stage cheerful raids on the pine cones below; you’ll pause mid-sentence just to watch them bicker.
Inside, Baman stays simple: pale timber, a bed tucked where it catches first light, a small corner to sit and do nothing (which turns out to be something). The host tree runs through the structure like a calm, kindly column; you catch yourself touching the bark on the way past—as if greeting the landlord. It creaks a little in the breeze. Not a warning—more a lullaby.
For families or gatherings, Baman links discreetly to Pradan, the larger neighbouring treehouse, so cousins and grandparents can wander back and forth without losing that “we’re in the woods” feeling. Or keep it to two and let the quiet fill in the rest; the place doesn’t mind either way.
Dihan spreads out graciously over 25 hectares of meadow and woodland, so privacy is designed in, not apologised for. If you want more flavors of sleep, there’s the yurt’s felt-soft warmth; a Finnish kota that smells faintly of smoke; and those clear bubble-tents spaced wide enough that the Milky Way feels like your personal ceiling. Some guests return each year and pick a new persona: treehouse one time, caravan the next. It’s a good habit.
Evenings, you may hear a piano from the old farmhouse, or nothing at all. The breeze threads the needles; the fountain keeps its small promises. You’ll mean to plan tomorrow and instead count the gaps between birdsong. That’s fine. Baman was built for this exact kind of “not much.”
Settle down. (For a night. Maybe two.) The name told you so.
