Planning a holiday should feel exciting, not confusing. If you want to compare accommodation options, check dates, and understand the 2026 rates before you book, the Rechercher & Réserver tool gives you a clear path to your ideal stay at Club Les Ormes. This guide walks you through how to use the Rechercher & Réserver tool step by step, so you can move from browsing to booking with confidence.
Whether you already know which accommodation you want or you are still comparing options, this article will help you understand the booking flow, the seasonal structure, and the rates that matter most when making your decision.
What is the Rechercher & Réserver tool?
The Rechercher & Réserver tool is the booking path designed to help you search availability and reserve your stay. In practical terms, it helps you move through the key decisions that matter most:
- When you want to travel
- Which accommodation suits your plans
- Which season applies to your dates
- What weekly rate you can expect for 2026
This kind of search-and-book process is especially useful when you want to compare several stay types quickly before making a final choice.
Why use the Rechercher & Réserver tool before booking?
Before you reserve, it helps to have a simple way to review your options side by side. The Rechercher & Réserver tool supports that process by making it easier to narrow your search and match your travel plans to the right accommodation category.
It is particularly useful if you want to:
- Compare Lodge Charme, Espace, Espace Plus Airco, Luxe Tent, Courbe, and Maison Pigeon*
- Check which seasonal rate applies to your intended travel dates
- Understand the standard changeover day for your chosen accommodation type
- Plan more flexibly during the Toddler weeks
If you are also reviewing accommodation details, it makes sense to pair your booking search with the relevant stay pages so you can compare style, comfort, and timing together.
Step-by-step: How to use the Rechercher & Réserver tool
Step 1: Start with your travel window
The first step in the Rechercher & Réserver tool is choosing when you want to stay. For 2026, the seasonal periods are structured as follows:
- Toddler weeks: 25 April–4 July
- Pre-season: 4 July–11 July
- High season: 11 July–22 August
- Toddler weeks: 22 August–28 September
These periods matter because the weekly rate changes depending on when you arrive.
Quick answer: Why are dates so important?
Your dates determine both the rate and the changeover rhythm for your booking. Choosing your travel period first makes the rest of the booking process much easier.
Step 2: Choose the accommodation type that fits your stay
Once you know your dates, the next step is selecting your preferred accommodation. The available accommodation categories and 2026 rates are:
| Accommodation | Toddler weeks 25 April–4 July | Pre-season 4 July–11 July | High season 11 July–22 August | Toddler weeks 22 August–28 September | Cleaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lodge Charme | € 700,- | € 1.000,- | € 1.295,- | € 700,- | € 80,- |
| Espace (3,5,14) | € 1.015,- | € 1.275,- | € 1.750,- | € 1.015,- | € 100,- |
| Espace Plus Airco (4,9,10,13,15,16,22) | € 1.180,- | € 1.500,- | € 1.895,- | € 1.180,- | € 110,- |
| Luxe Tent | € 665,- | € 1.050,- | € 1.430,- | € 665,- | € 90,- |
| Courbe (41,42) | € 1.320,- | € 1.700,- | € 2.275,- | € 1.320,- | € 130,- |
| Maison Pigeon* | € 1.750,- | € 2.350,- | € 2.950,- | € 1.750,- | € 195,- |
This table gives you a strong starting point before you continue in the Rechercher & Réserver tool.
How to compare accommodation options effectively
When you compare options, focus on these three points first:
- Seasonal rate for your travel week
- Accommodation category that matches your comfort preferences
- Cleaning cost attached to that stay type
A simple comparison often helps you shortlist two or three options before you finalize your reservation.
Step 3: Check the correct changeover day
One of the most important details in the booking process is the changeover day. This affects which arrival and departure dates you should search for in the Rechercher & Réserver tool.
Saturday changeover
The following accommodation types have Saturday as the changeover day:
- Lodges
- Espaces
- Courbes
Sunday changeover
The following accommodation types have Sunday as the changeover day:
- Luxury Tents
- Maison Pigeon
Flexible arrival and departure during Toddler weeks
During the Toddler weeks, arrival and departure days are flexible.
That flexibility can make booking easier if you are not tied to the standard weekly pattern. If your schedule allows off-peak travel, this is an especially useful window to explore in the Rechercher & Réserver tool.
Step 4: Match your preferred stay to your budget
After choosing your dates and accommodation, the next step is reviewing the rate in context. The Rechercher & Réserver tool becomes much more useful when you enter the search with a rough budget in mind.
Here is a practical way to do that.
If you are looking for an entry point
Start by checking:
- Lodge Charme from € 700,- during Toddler weeks
- Luxe Tent from € 665,- during Toddler weeks
If you want a mid-range option
You may want to compare:
- Espace (3,5,14) from € 1.015,- during Toddler weeks
- Espace Plus Airco (4,9,10,13,15,16,22) from € 1.180,- during Toddler weeks
If you are considering premium stays
It makes sense to review:
- Courbe (41,42) from € 1.320,- during Toddler weeks
- Maison Pigeon* from € 1.750,- during Toddler weeks
This kind of filtering helps you use the Rechercher & Réserver tool more efficiently because you are not starting from every possible option.
Step 5: Use seasonal timing to your advantage
Smart booking often comes down to timing. Even before completing your reservation, you can use the Rechercher & Réserver tool strategically by comparing the same accommodation across seasons.
For example:
- Lodge Charme rises from € 700,- in Toddler weeks to € 1.295,- in high season.
- Espace rises from € 1.015,- in Toddler weeks to € 1.750,- in high season.
- Luxe Tent rises from € 665,- in Toddler weeks to € 1.430,- in high season.
- Maison Pigeon* rises from € 1.750,- in Toddler weeks to € 2.950,- in high season.
Quick answer: When is the most flexible period to book?
The Toddler weeks are the most flexible period because arrival and departure days are flexible. They also offer the lowest listed rates across the accommodation categories shown.
Step 6: Double-check the full cost structure
Before you confirm your booking, make sure you look beyond the weekly rate alone. The listed cleaning charge varies by accommodation type, so it should be part of your comparison.
Cleaning charges for 2026 are:
- Lodge Charme: € 80,-
- Espace (3,5,14): € 100,-
- Espace Plus Airco (4,9,10,13,15,16,22): € 110,-
- Luxe Tent: € 90,-
- Courbe (41,42): € 130,-
- Maison Pigeon*: € 195,-
This step helps you compare options more accurately and avoid making decisions based on the headline weekly price alone.
Step 7: Finalize your selection in Rechercher & Réserver
Once you have narrowed down your choices, the final step is simple: proceed with the option that best matches your dates, preferred accommodation, and budget.
At this point, you should already know:
- Your preferred travel period
- Your preferred accommodation category
- The expected 2026 weekly rate
- The applicable cleaning charge
- Whether your stay follows a Saturday or Sunday changeover
- Whether Toddler week flexibility benefits your plans
That preparation turns the Rechercher & Réserver tool into a faster, smoother booking experience.
Practical tips for booking the right stay
If you want to use the Rechercher & Réserver tool more efficiently, keep these tips in mind:
1. Decide on dates before comparing everything else
Your travel period affects both price and arrival rhythm. Start there.
2. Compare only the accommodation types that match your budget
A smaller shortlist makes it easier to move forward confidently.
3. Pay attention to changeover days
A perfect accommodation choice may not fit your schedule if you overlook the Saturday or Sunday changeover.
4. Use Toddler weeks for flexibility
If your travel dates are adaptable, this period offers more freedom on arrival and departure days.
5. Review related accommodation pages while you search
If you are torn between several stay types, combine your booking search with a closer look at the accommodation pages for a more informed decision.
