Frequently asked questions.
The Bleu Minuit lodges have the look and feel of Tiny Houses, and are ecologically built for comfort and low carbon impact. These modern wood and glass ‘cabins’ have large windows that let in lots of natural light. They offer a view of the sky, making them the perfect place for an original getaway from the stresses of everyday life!
Unfortunately, swimming is strictly prohibited in the pond !
All Bleu Minuit rooms are equipped with a private spa welvaere. The main difference between a Jacuzzi and a Nordic bath is their water heating and circulation mechanism. The jacuzzi uses hot water jets and bubbles for a massaging effect, heated electrically, whereas the Nordic bath is often heated by a wood-burning stove and does not use jets for water circulation, offering a more ecological and relaxing experience.
