Luxury camping in France is popular among European holiday makers, and it is becoming increasingly popular to rent a luxury yurt, especially in southwest France. Yurts were originally designed by Mongolians to be weather resistant and to remain warm in winter and cool in summer. Yurts have been embraced by the ecotourism industry as a green holiday accommodation. Yurt vacation rentals in France are often found on small, family-run sites that operate on eco-friendly principles. They typically have cooking facilities and it is standard for bedding to be included. Prices vary greatly depending on the size of the yurt, surrounding facilities and the season. Most yurt holiday sites are open only from May through September.
