News of a new place to stay in France with a new gîte in Nantes that offers guests the chance to live as a rodent for the night - complete with fur costumes and a romantic hamster wheel for two...
Tucked away down an unremarkable side-street near the centre of the western French city, the Villa Hamster offers guests the "unique" opportunity to leave their species at the door and live the life of a rodent. Urging those curious to enter into its "poetic" world of wood chippings and fur costumes, its website asks: "Is it possible to put myself in the place of my hamster???"
Whatever their intentions, they seem to be doing something right. Since opening a fortnight ago, the Villa has been submerged with requests for visits from both inquisitive media and paying guests. But at the moment most people are choosing to keep their hamster transformation to a Saturday night-only experience, often as a present to a friend or partner...
So, is it "Tres Crazy" or "Magnifique..."
