Le Village des Oiseaux***: your accommodation in Savoie
Put binoculars in your suitcase, flocks of birds are waiting for you at the Village des Oiseaux*** (the birds’ village), your holiday village in Savoie, for a singing competition to be admired from your balcony. On foot, by bike, on rollerblades or even in your swimsuit in the water, you will reconnect with nature in your cosy nest perched in Motz, near Chanaz, in the heart of a Natura 2000 Zone between Geneva, Annecy and Aix-les-Bains... yes, you will have to leave the nest, but the birds will still be there during your next migration!
Make your nest in a holiday village in Savoie
Head for the mountains to experience The Sound of Music, in a modern and eco-friendly version. You will find your dream birdhouse in one of our 52 accommodations divided between 4 observatories and 6 lookouts, from a room for two to an apartment for 8 curious people. So are you ready for an unusual stay in the heart of Savoyard nature?
With your Savoie holiday apartment, you will find:
- A fully equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, hob and microwave grill, not forgetting the coffee maker and kettle (except in the bedrooms);
- A living room with sofa bed (except in the bedrooms) for a movie night in front of the TV;
- A bathroom with shower and toilet in which to relax after a day on the hiking trails;
- A terrace or a balcony is available for some rooms and for all the apartments;
- Wi-Fi access throughout the residence.
Rather than perch on your balcony, take your brood on a programme that will make them chirp. Even if on your own, the holiday village Le Village des Oiseaux*** has something to keep you busy:
- Do you holiday in the summer? Take advantage of the entertainment and the children's club or get everyone on their bikes to go for a ride on the Savoyard slopes.
- Follow it up with a swim in the supervised lake in the holiday village, take a zip line or try your hand at canoeing.
Savoie apartments for holidays near Chanaz to fly over the great lakes
Get ready, Le Village des Oiseaux*** Holiday Village has many things in store for you to have an amazing holiday! You can imagine, for a holiday village in Savoie nestled in Motz, next to Chanaz, 30 kilometres from Aix-les-Bains, 40 kilometres from Annecy and 50 kilometres from Geneva!
Dive right in the wide Savoyard spaces of Motz. In Chanaz, you will plunge into the atmosphere of a historic village classified Small Cities of Character with its old stones and artisans, its canals and boats.
In Aix-les-Bains, nicknamed the Riviera of the Alps, it will be nature and culture, thermal spa and local products in front of the largest natural lake in France.
As for Annecy, you will gaze in admiration at the cobbled streets and colourful houses on the canals. For thrill-seekers, the city has been designated the European capital of outdoor sports.
Once the French tour is over, head for Geneva: the second largest city in Switzerland awaits you 1 hour from your nest, as the crow flies.
From the mill to your house
Culture is good, culture with taste is even better. In the restored 1868 mill in Chanaz, admire the wheel that turns with the flow of water to crush walnuts and hazelnuts, watch the miller at work and leave with artisanal oils. Yummy!
Holiday Village Le Village des Oiseaux***: your holiday accommodation in the countryside
On the outskirts of the holiday village Le Village des Oiseaux***, many activities await you and can be enjoyed either in trainers or in a swimsuit. On land, cycle on the bicycle paths to explore the 31 hectares of nature surrounding the village. With steely calves, you can push further on the ViaRhôna linking Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean. Otherwise, opt for electrically-assisted bikes, we won’t tell anyone.
When walking, don't forget to bring your camera on the ornithological trail, migratory birds may well pose on the banks of the Fier. And if you're feeling like you're sprouting wings, you should know that your Savoie accommodation is located on a path on the Way of St. James. As for the children, send them on the tree climbing course, they will be very happy. And they will still have to test the roller-skating rink or the blowpipe, the laser gun and archery!
Are you more of a swimsuit type? Swim, jump, dive or paddle down the Rhone in a kayak, sunbathe on a boat along the canals or dare to try stand up paddle board on the Savieres canal. You can always relax during a shopping spree in Chanaz, a spa and casino session in Aix-les-Bains or a sailing tour on the lake in Annecy.
Your eco-holiday off the beaten track
At Le Village des Oiseaux*** holiday village, you’ll be able to prove the naysayers wrong: eco-friendly vacations are possible without spending an arm and a leg! In your holiday apartment in Savoie, you will hardly notice LEDs, nor low-energy light bulbs, nor flow regulators on showers and taps. You will hardly notice the selective sorting, and you may not even know that your holiday village in Savoie is an LPO Refuge, fighting for the preservation of nature and the improvement of biodiversity while reducing its impact on the environment.
So many initiatives put in place by the Vacanceole Group to promote sustainable tourism and ensure that you have a responsible holiday, in accordance with our environmental charter, which has been in force since 2017. Bottom line? You're going to earn good green points without even knowing it. And if the birds are singing so loudly on the balcony of your rental, it is not only because you are in a Natura 2000 protected area, but also to say thank you.
The ViaRhôna is a bicycle path that runs along the Rhone River from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea. Take or rent bikes and discover cities on the water such as Chanaz, also known as the little Savoyard Venice.
This former post house, welcomes you in winter near its fireplace and in summer on its pretty terrace which will be the ideal place for a sunny lunch. Here, the Savoyard cuisine is made from quality local products, with an impeccable service.
This natural site has been fitted out with footbridges that overlook a canyon where the Fier River flows. The visit can be impressive because on 252 m, you will "fly over" the river enclosed in a sea of rocks, digging pots of giants for millennia. Discover also the legends that surround the site
Looking for relaxation or a bit of sport? Go to the Motz leisure centre, with its tennis courts, roller skating rink, hiking and mountain biking trails, outdoor swimming in summer, picnic area, playground...
Go to the Tyroliennes du fier for accrobranche! Two acrobatic courses are available (from age 6). A little surprise: the aquatic zip line! It's a 100-metre descent down to Beaver Island, so make sure you bring a swimming costume or a change of clothes, as you'll be surfing on the water!
Meet up every Tuesday during the summer, from 5.30pm, at the Espace Sport et Nature du Fier!
Our residence has been awarded the Accueil Vélo label to serve you better.
We are able to welcome you with peace of mind thanks to our specially dedicated premises. Don't hesitate to take your bike with you!
