Huttopia [pronounced, “hyoo-topia”] is a family-owned and independent company started by Céline and Philippe Bossanne, lovers of the art of camping and the great outdoors. After living in Toronto for a few years, Céline and Philippe returned to France inspired by what they experienced in their travels to Canadian and American National Parks. It was then that the idea of Huttopia emerged.
They cherished being able to pitch tents in the heart of beautiful, natural spaces and sharing that experience with friends and family. And they wanted to give others the opportunity to have those kinds of experiences as well. This was the start of something that people have since come to refer to as the “art of camping.” Combining nature, comfort and a sense of aesthetics, this approach laid the foundation for what has come to be more widely known as “glamping.”
Céline and Philippe wanted to facilitate access to nature for families with children, offering them comfortable and accessible accommodations. The inspiration for the brand came from the tents of the Canadian Trappers, from cabins in the woods, and from simple and authentic moments shared between family and friends.

The Huttopia adventure began with a small, rural campsite in the Alps in France in 2000. Today, there are more than 60 Huttopia locations on three continents, with more preparing to open in 2022 and beyond.

Over the years we have developed our own step-by-step process for identifying ideal locations, planning and developing sites, choosing where individual tents, chalets or tiny homes are located, and more, including having tents manufactured to our own specifications. Most importantly, people and a desire to continually innovate and improve are at the heart of every project. Today, Huttopia remains a family business, majority-owned and managed by its founders.
