have you read this review of a Cabanon Elody tent? copied and pasted here:-
y: Nessie_dog Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2001 Rating: Date: 30/07/2011
Lovely large living area with large windows letting in lots of light. Very good headroom and bedrooms have a really cosy feel when double air bed in them. We have two children under 4 and it is great as one can sleep in proper size travel cot that fits into larger bedroom with the double airbed too. There is a door on the front and an entrance on the side and the front can be fully opened too. We wanted a canvas tent because we go to France camping and it gets too hot in a poly tent but we couldn't afford a new one so this was a bargain off ebay. Very easy to put up and take down. Only downside is the weight and size when packed up. But a small compromise for the cost and space!

and you might like to take a looky at the Cabanon site to get an idea of these brilliant French tents - ideal for french camping conditions! - the prices are something else - makes it look like outwell are just giving their tents away lol - but on ebay / on here / gumtree there are some Cabanon bargains.
you've just opened a can of worms i thinks. lol
oh, and you might whilst your at it, have a look at these canvas tents too:-
http://www.dewaardtenten.nl/index.php/tenten/vergrote-zilvermeeuw
the dutch DeWaard tents have the option of the Vario-Luifell ... its in effect a Variable Awning - its a very large and heavy canvas with mutiple mounting points that instead of being fixed only to the front of the tent, can also be fixed there in a conventional style but can also be attached for example, only to the side - handy if you want to sunbathe but be sheltered from the wind or for privacy but still get the sun. or a plethora of all different ways!.
they are rarely seen on uk sites, but i saw 2 in whitby and went to chat to the owners who not surprisingly were visiting from holland. i congratulated them on their wonderful tents as mine is only a lowly outwell bear lake tent ( a toy pretend tent compared to a de waard! ) and almost felt ashamed of it lol. the de waards are in a league of their own - probably only surpassed by Karsten tents. but supremely strong, well made from only the best of materials and as has been quoted before - DeWaard owners can disregard the weather and carry on camping!
you can see them for sale on www.marktplatz.nl and you'd likely have to take a trip to holland to buy a used one, but read the reviews from the owners on here!
its my ultimate tent - pure canvas for continental camping in the utmost comfort and knowing it could probably last a lifetime - the outwell wont do that i know, its good, but its not that good.
once you ve seen a cabanon, de waard or a Karsten - anything less is well just ummmm... ( anyways im on the lookout for a used one for the price of a new outwell! )
good luck - and i told ya - you dont know what you've started now!!!. lol
