Dourbies chalets

We enjoyed our stay very much, having been welcomed by its owners and shown where everything was. It was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. You can't get far quickly in the Cevennes! Lots of windy, narrow roads and mountains, but Le Pompidou was well located to get around to most of the places on our to visit list. The scenery is impressive and the history fascinating. It was great walking through the chestnut forests when the chestnuts were falling (we did eat a lot) though never quite sussed out the Chasse presence - even Tourist Information in Florac were unsure! Fortunately we didn't clash. We kept tripping over RL Stevenson on GR70 so I ended up reading Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes -in the Cevennes! Indifferent to it at school, but enjoyed it a lot in context. Much amused by the fact that the relevant leaflet details the very many accommodations that welcome donkeys! The nearby Gorge du Tarn is jaw dropping.
