In the heart of the Cévennes: a peaceful stay in a lush, relaxing setting

A destination for a wonderful night’s sleep, on the outskirts of the Cévennes National Park. The apartment is located in a particularly peaceful, lush green setting, ideal for recharging your batteries, relaxing, and breathing in the fresh mountain air. From the terrace, you’ll never tire of admiring the exceptional panoramic view of the Cévennes mountains, the southern slope of the Aigoual Massif, the valleys, and the village of Bréau. In the summer, you can enjoy—right at the edge of the forest— the song of the cicadas and the chirping of birds during the day, and the song of the crickets or perhaps the hooting of an owl at night.<br><br>A recently renovated, very comfortable apartment on a secure, fenced-in property.
