How to describe the bubble-shaped accommodations at the Museumotel? The complex’s nine units on an island in the northwest of France are part Smurf village, part spaceship pod and part hobbit house. The Museumotel was originally constructed in the late-1960’s as an attempt to create practical, cheap housing. Today, the furnishings in several of the pods look like they haven’t been updated since the late-1960’s. And another part of the original intent survives as well — the Museumotel is cheap (by France standards). A self-standing bubble with en suite bathroom and internet access can be yours for a little as 55 euros a night. We suggest “The Orange Bubble,” which is a little larger than the others and has two large windows looking out over the river.
