With incredible panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the bizarre transparent structures are designed to get people as close to nature as possible. But it's far from the traditional camping trip - decked out with wardrobes, shelves and electric lights, the bubbles look more like a movable hotel room than a regular tent. Launched this year, the structures can be now be hired out at sites across France for around £400 a night, or bought outright for £7,500. One design, called the CristalBubble, is completely transparent, giving a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside. Once the 'bubble' is inflated, it's kept in shape with an airlock at the entrance and a silent pump, which keeps a constant pressure on the surrounding 'walls'. Outside sound is kept to a minimum while inside noise is magnified, which, according to designer Pierre Stephane Dumas, encourages the occupants to create a peaceful atmosphere by whispering. Mr Dumas added: "For me, Bubble huts are a place apart where you can rest, breathe or just stand back."
ALSO PROBABLY HANDY FOR EXHIBITIONISTS WHO LIKE GETTING IT ON 'AU NATUREL' WITHOUT FREEZING THEIR PERT BUNS OFF...JUST AN IDEA LIKE I'M ONLY SAYING...
