Meet Bérangère, an inspiring young woman who amazingly built her very own tiny house in France. Her spectacular home is named ‘La Belle Idée’, which translates to the beautiful idea.

Bérangère was inspired to build her tiny home after spending four years traveling and realizing she desired a place to call home.

With minimal possessions and still wanting a place that would give her options for where she could live, she decided a tiny house would be the perfect home.

Originally, she had intended to construct her home together with others as part of a tiny house-building workshop.

But lockdown in France put an end to the workshop after the first week and Bérangère was then left to complete the home on her own.

The result is a beautiful and inspiring build.
