starry-eyed surprise

how would you like to vacation in one of these mini pre-fabs on a "green" vacation?

meet carrés-d'étoiles, a visionary idea in eco tourism now found in france. 

tiny + very green, this designer dwelling has bio-ethanol heating, recyclable wood + more.

the brainchildren: louis + nathalie blanco who have conceived of this new version of sustainable tourism.

the concept: eco-friendly accommodations in peaceful surroundings with the added bonus of high quality hotel amenities. each includes a flat screen TV, full kitchen with microwave, full bathroom with shower. 

each is equipped a telescope and a star chart. eco-chic + fun too!

wouldn't it be cool to live in one of these? yep, i'd pare down for some of this simple liv"inn."
