logement insolite KOTA

At Domaine De La Moriniere in Commequiers, Vendée, the KOTA is a Finnish-style wooden shelter that bridges glamping and architecture — a hexagonal log structure rarely seen in French outdoor hospitality. Commequiers sits roughly 15km inland from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie on the Atlantic coast, making this a quieter alternative to the crowded seaside campgrounds of the Pays de la Loire.

The unit includes a private terrace with outdoor dining furniture and barbecue, a sofa bed, electric kettle, and kitchenware — enough for self-sufficient stays without sacrificing comfort. Heating is provided, extending the viable season well into autumn, which most comparable glamping tents in the region cannot offer.

With a 9.3 rating across early reviews, the property is establishing a strong reputation fast. The kota format — traditionally a Sami communal structure — gives guests a genuine architectural experience rather than a canvas tent with a mattress.
