Life as a Hamster

Welcome to France, the country of love, fashion, and....living like a hamster?

I came across this in a magazine today about a hotel in Nantes that allows guests to live like a hamster by sleeping in hay, eating grain and running on a giant metal wheel. Opened in 2009, the owners Frederic Tabary and Yann Falquerho decided to open La Villa Hamster to provide a comfortable place to sleep, in a fun and eccentric way.

The increase in rate from 99 euros in 2009 to 150 euros a night in 2010, must mean that living like a hamster is a dream that many, many people share.

I posted a video below from Reuters. What do you think? Would you like to trade places for a day with your lovable hamster?

  3. Hi Michelle, I found your blog from Red Nomad's. Whilst I'm not sure I would stay at that particular hotel, I would definitely like to visit Nantes. I found the Loire Valley one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
