Five unusual observation shelters nestled among the reeds of a former mill pond in the Belgian Condroz. Born from a passion for nature and biodiversity, the concept: transparent nests set at the heart of the marshland to observe the life of birds, the flow of the seasons, the dance of the reeds, and after nightfall, a starlit sky free from light pollution. Electricity is generated by the wheel of the historic mill. Each nest bears the name of a marsh bird: Martin Pêcheur, Mésange, Sarcelle, Bécassine, Milan Royal. Private beaches, stilted terraces, campfires, breakfast delivered. An observation journal is available to record the marsh's inhabitants. Listed biotope (Marais du Moulin de Biron). Booking via RoomRaccoon. Gift vouchers available.


Bordered by a peaceful stream, Le Martin-Pêcheur is a nature cocoon where water accompanies every moment of your stay. From its transparent nest, gaze at the stars as night falls and let yourself be lulled by the gentle murmur of the current. Cross the stream via a small stone stepping path to reach your private fire area and enjoy an evening in the heart of nature. Keep your eyes open too: the kingfisher, which gave the nest its name, regularly travels this natural corridor and occasionally offers the most attentive guests the privilege of a sighting as fleeting as it is magical.


Built on stilts, La Mésange offers an unobstructed view of its little pond, where you will be lulled by the gentle murmur of a small waterfall connecting the two ponds. Its opening dome also allows you to sleep truly under the stars, as close to nature as possible.


Nestled in the heart of a vast reed field, La Sarcelle offers a unique immersion into the world of the marsh. Its double transparent dome invites you to slow down and contemplate the nature that surrounds you. Follow a small raised footpath winding through the reeds to reach your private beach at the water's edge. Settle in by the fire, admire the reflections of the setting sun on the pond, and let the magic unfold.


Sheltered by a majestic hundred-year-old oak tree and overlooking a one-hectare reed bed, Le Milan Royal is a haven for those who love to immerse themselves in nature. In the evening, let yourself be captivated by the colours of the sunset beside the fire. In the morning, enjoy breakfast on its private pontoon above the water, facing the sunrise and the awakening of the marshland. Here, time slows down and nature becomes the most beautiful of spectacles.


Nestled at the water's edge, La Bécassine offers the rare feeling of living in harmony with the rhythm of the marshland. Its terrace stretching out over the pond, its wood-burning stove and its glass-enclosed cocoon create a warm refuge open to nature. Looking out over the vast one-hectare pond, surrounded by reeds, trees and wildlife, enjoy an ever-changing spectacle from the last light of evening through to sunrise.
Héloïse et Foulques conceived Les Nids des Marais as a place where time slows down and where the accommodations blend discreetly into an unspoiled environment, so that people and nature may coexist in harmony. Each stay is prepared with the care one reserves for friends, in deep respect for the protected biotope that surrounds them.
Open all year round; spring and summer offer the greatest diversity of birds and insects, while autumn and winter reveal the morning mist over the marsh and a starry sky free from light pollution.
Breakfast is delivered directly to the nest; one review mentions a generous charcuterie and cheese board, suggesting products from the Belgian Condroz region, but no specific local producer is named in the available sources.
