When I met Christophe 3 years ago, he had already seen pretty much the whole world from hotel rooms and recording studios. As a cameraman, he travelled to many places in all corners of the globe. Camping was definitely not his cup of tea: too much fuss, not enough luxury, often too cold or too hot, no decent bed, lots of insects… I’m a purebred nature lover (except for the insects). I love sleeping in a tent, whether in a backyard, on holiday or a festival. Although I’d like to go back to basics, I often dragged along about half of my house when I went camping: lots of food, clothes and other stuff.

We both wanted to find a good balance between being in nature without compromising on our daily comfort and luxury. That’s why Christophe offered me a glamping tent for Christmas. I had never been glamping before, but I really loved the concept. We pitched the bell tent in our garden that same day, dragged our mattresses into it and made it extra cosy: lights, a camp fire, lots of popcorn, a good movie, … And so the idea to rent out a furnished bell tent came up. Canvas Nights saw the day of light…
