Well-being at its peak

In France: Infinity, Majestic, or Double Tipi, Cocoon or Grand Large, the names given to the Premium lodges at the Domaine Les Moulins in Noirmoutier are themselves already invitations to travel and relax. And when we have tried them, we know we can no longer live without them…At the heart of a 100% glamping section at Les Moulins, facing the sea but in a well-protected area, this new, privileged range of Premium lodges is designed to house 4 to 6 people.

With their large private terrace facing the sea, plus a sundeck away from prying eyes, they offer the perfect place for relaxation, well-being or just chilling out.

And to enjoy the experience to the full, the wellness centre at the domain offers relaxing massages with essential oils by a therapist in your lodge, facing the sea…

A unique and exclusive service to be enjoyed under perfect relaxing conditions.

The secrets of glamping

Now forming part of everyday language, glamping combines glamour with camping. As a perfect example and early proponent of the movement, Domaine Les Moulins has both the charm of an authentic campsite in-tune with nature and respectful of the environment, and the pomp of a 5-star location offering the most prestigious services: swimming pool, hot tub, wellness centre and the latest activities and entertainment trends.

Alain Dominique Perrin: A real innovator

Businessman and philanthropist, founder of the Cartier Foundation and promoter of the famous “Must”, mentor of an elite training institute, patron of the arts and owner of an extraordinary vineyard at Chateau Lagrezette. That is to say, Alain Dominique Perrin displays a taste for the eclectic.

The management of 4 high quality campsites at Noirmoutier and Leucate, in harmony with their environment and the coast, now adds a new facet to this multi-talented entrepreneur.

Yet there is a real coherence in the career of this aesthete and businessman: whatever the adventure, he aims towards high standards and excellence.

And whether it is for an environmentally friendly campsite, exquisite pieces of jewellery or an exceptional vintage, Alain Dominique Perrin brings all his mastery of the business world and his passion for all things good and beautiful.

A brilliant example of how to combine the useful with the aesthetic.
