Nature and surroundings

The Drobie Valley is located in the southern Cévennes, southwest of the Monts d’Ardèche National Park, so the area is surrounded by beautiful scenery. - Swimming: The Drobie River winds through the valley. It offers idyllic swimming spots with crystal-clear water. In the river, you’ll see otters, beavers, and brown trout... - Hiking: There are many long hiking trails along the valley. The famous “Le sentier des lauzes” trail runs right past the house. This route is an artistic project that aims to bring nature and art together, showcasing beautiful works by artists from around the world along a leisurely 5-hour hike. At the bottom of the valley, on the slopes, you’ll find the finest vineyards and olive groves influenced by the Mediterranean climate. During the summer, depending on the harvest, you can enjoy vegetables from the garden.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
