Though designer Pierre Stephane Dumas came up with some of the first pod-like bubble hotels available to the public last year, the Attrap'Rêves bubble hotel in France offers the same experience without the hefty price tag.
These clear adobes are located in Allauch and Puget Ville and a third is set to be built in La Bouilladisse for those who enjoy feeling like they are one with nature, without paying a fortune for basic amenities while doing so.
Each room begins at around $140 US per night, and increases in price dependent on the season of travel and which luxuries one wants included in their lodging. The bubble rooms are available in both semi-transparent and full clear variations depending on the privacy one requires and are located on scenic sites with a private road leading up to each one to ensure the guest is not disturbed.
