Hidden under a lush green canopy of boreal forest in southeastern Canada are 80 fully-stocked tents featuring feather beds, silk sheets, electric lighting, mini-refrigerators and tableware. Under one of the tents, Celine Bossanne pulls two wine glasses out of a wicker trunk – a bit of added luxury.

“That’s the French touch!” quips Bossanne, the co-founder of Huttopia Group, a French firm that has tapped into the “glamping” trend to bring high-end overnight stays to the Canadian and US wilds. The deluxe package offered by Huttopia, which goes for US$105 (RM435) a day, even includes a private bathroom with a toilet.
