At an altitude of 647 M, in the Borne valley in Lozère, nestles an old clède, a building once used for drying chestnuts.
This is where I suggest you sit down.
I fell in love with this place, I edit fiction films and cook as a caterer.
I welcome you with pleasure, in all seasons.
// The building
La clède is a 3-storey construction integrated into a granite farmhouse built between the 18th and 19th centuries completely renovated.
The team composed of a carpenter, a mason and myself has chosen to reuse as many elements as possible available within the Mas and to use as many ecologically viable materials as possible:
Hemplime, natural plasters and whitewashes, installation of a rainwater recovery tank, chestnut beams and planks, dry stone...
It can accommodate 4 to 5 people.
The farmhouse is located in the commune of Pied-de-Borne in Lozère, in a place called Saint-Jean-de-Chazorne.
at an altitude of 650M, it dominates the valley of the Borne, a granite river.
Breathtaking view, no neighbours, absolute calm.
