How simply spectacular and all-round jaw-dropping is this? Get to Village Flottant de Pressac with immediacy if you seek luxurious accommodation of the unusual kind, in fab floating lodges among scenic surrounds of lakes, ponds and forests in the Vienne department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Each floating lodge at peaceful Village Flottant de Pressac is raised on stilts to sit on the still water, and is accessible either by walkway (for families with smaller kids) or by boat (for parties where all members are able to adequately swim).
If you're an angler, this is possibly among the easiest casting off you'll do anywhere on the planet, as you can fish for roach, carp and pike right from the lodge terrace; rent fishing kit on site if you haven't brought your own, as angling from here should be sorted as soon as poss.
The lodges are part of an accommodation village in a wildlife haven, a few minutes' drive from the Clouère and Clain rivers bordering and passing through the town of Pressac. Let mini bug hunters loose on the signposted nature and walking trails to see what local critters they can spy, among the lively and plentiful population of deer, hares, mallards, teal, herons and swans. An interpretation centre at the village will assist intrepid explorers in finding out what's what on their adventurous travels.
A playground for younger kids is on site in front of the interpretation centre, and a naturally heated outdoor pool and paddling pool surrounded by deckchairs are also on site.
But perhaps the most fab feature of this fably unconventional vilage? Guests can reserve one of the park's floating grill hut restaurants, which accommodate up to eight diners, to toastily sizzle suppers over a glowing wood fire. A restaurant that comes to you? That's really rather luxurious too.

Local attractions
The floating village is a few minutes' drive from Pressac, a small town bordered to its north-east by the Clouère river and with the waters of the Clain flowing through.
Over a dozen towns and villages are within 15 or so kilometres of here, including Pleuville (10 minutes' drive), Épenède, Charroux and Lessac, all within 15 minutes, and Chatain, 20 minutes away. Department capital Poitiers is just under an hour away.
Take the kids to Vienne and the famed Futuroscope theme park, just over an hour from your floating base, for a thoroughly modern time among its multimedia, cinema and audio-visual attractions, including shows, exhibitions, games and 3D and 4D cinemas. About 25 minutes away by car is La Vallée des Singes or Monkey Valley, where 30 species of over 400 monkeys from all over the world live among the trees.
Another excellent family option is the baronial castle of Château d'Harcourt, an hour away in the medieval town of Chauvigny, for adrenalised 45-minute falconry shows. For a more placid base, drive for an hour on a bookish trip to the literary town of Montmorillon and its booksellers, calligraphers and 20 or so bookshops.
