La Chataigne - Cosy gite with panoramic mountain views, immersed in beautiful nature
Les Coumayres consists of four unique, rustic, newly renovated gites. La Chataigne is at the front of the house next to one more gite and the owners home. Behind the house are two larger gites, each with their own private terraces. We also have a Glamping site with two unique domes, located a couple of minutes walk from the house. Relax by the heated pool whilst the children splash around, play ping pong or have fun in the adventure playground. There is plenty of space for everyone with many terraces, including a unique tree platform where you can realx and read a book or enjoy the views. The gite has rustic charm and with the thick stone walls you'll keep cool in summer or cosy and warm in winter using the electric heaters or the wood log burner. There are two bedrooms; one with a double bed and the other with a bunk bed. You can buy some lovely local food from the open air markets and cook on the gas hob in the kitchen or outside on the communal stone BBQ. After unwinding and recharging at Les Coumayres you can hike down Les Milles Marches at Lac de Vezole, kayak on the river Orb, canyon in the beautiful rugged gorges, mountain bike or zip line. There's so many things to do for people who love nature and the wild countryside.
