Well that's not correct as far as the subject of the article goes. In France at least the term also covers camping in an light tent.
- nonethewiser 4y agoThanks for clarifying, that is not what the definitions I found via Google said
- kergonath 4y agoI can confirm that Google is wrong in this case. Sleeping outside without a tent is generally referred to as “dormir à la belle étoile”, but it is not necessarily implied in “bivouac”. From my experience (which varies, the rules are local and not nation-wide laws) the difference is whether you can stand in your tent or not. I have seen whether you can carry your tent with your backpack used as a criterion as well.
