About
our region Welcome; situated in the Parc Naturel du Haut Languedoc, we are in one of the most striking and least developed areas of Mediterranean France, about an hour drive from the coast. This is a spectacular area and the Parc Naturel status ensures that the dramatic landscape remains unspoiled. The mountains are exhilaratingly wild without being intimidating. The surrounding area is populated by farmers and vignerons (the local wines, Faugères and St Chinian ACs, are eminently drinkable); there are wild boar and mouflon in the hills.Wild mushrooms and chestnuts are to be found by the paths, trout and crayfish in the streams, eagles and kites above. Famous for the marvellous quality of its light, a gentle luminescence which owes something to the mountain air, something to the sun’s heat and not a little to the complete absence of pollution. A great area for an outdoor vacation it is also an excellent base for touring, there being much to discover in the vicinity and a big choice of open air activities as much for the family as for the independent traveller. All the properties are situated in what is arguably the most beautiful part of Le Parc Naturel. Whatever your interests there is lots to do and see close by and if you don't even want to start the car you can relax in the surrounding nature. Activities This is a great area for an open-air holiday, one that can be as casual or as energetic as you want. Outdoor activities are plentiful and varied. Botanists, geologists, ornithologists and painters will all find the region of particular interest. The choice of walking and hiking paths is myriad, from a pleasant stroll by the river to a demanding circuit over the plateau. Maps of the areas are provided, and local walking guides can be recommended. Swimming in the gorges in clean clear water is a must on a hot day and we don’t mind telling you a few of our favourite places. Canoe or kayak , either is great fun, descending the river Orb. Mountain biking is a good way of discovering the nature too and we know some excitng routes. The Caroux offers some spectacular rock climbing where you can stretch yourself in lovely settings; whether its tough technical routes or more classical alpine style ascents. Canyoning and caving
opportunities shouldn’t be forgotten about either;
as well as golf, tennis and horse riding. It’s
really all here, more or less, on the doorstep! This fascinating and unique
region makes a perfect base for walkers, hikers &
ramblers, or simply for a family holiday in beautiful
surroundings. We offer several self catering gites, each with its own unique character and individual charm. What they share in common is that they are all old stone houses which have been tastefully renovated, each has a terrace and or garden and two have swimming pools. Prices below are
