Gîtes La Combe de Ferrière in the Cevennes

OUR GITES AND APARTMENTS

Domaine haute qualité environnementale
en Cévennes

Spacious, agreables, comfortable and beautiful are the keywords concerning our two gites (holiday homes).

We have renovated our old barn into two comfortable gites, each with a capacity of 4 to 6 people.
They both have got the ecological qualification "haute qualité environnementale".

Our three apartments as well as the guestroom, have been renovated in the same spirit as the gîtes but on a smaller scale.

Authenticity & comfort

We have kept and renovated the old stone walls and the beautiful vaulted doors.

Inside the walls are isolated with a mixture of hemp and chalk so the form of the walls are well preserved while creating a nice atmosphere.
Add to that double glazing, the use of local wood for the doors and the ceilings, the roof covered with plants and the floor heating by solar panels, if necessary electric heaters can help.

You will understand why we have received two prices: one for the high ecological value and the other for the preservation of a typical old building.

The two gîtes are situated on the campsite next to the swimming pool; the apartments are located in the former “magnanerie”, with a large communal terrace on the north side of the house with a splendid view over the camp site and our valley, and a terrace in local stone on the south side.

	Gîte Bertrand The gite has two floors, a spacious living room with a well equipped open kitchen (micro wave-oven, dish washer).

There is one master bedroom with a double bed and a bed room with two times two single beds, one above the other (= 4 single beds).
Of course there is a bathroom with sink,
shower and a separate toilet.

Gite Bertrand is 65 m2 with a sunny terrace and two grassy areas on the sides.

WHERE ABOUT

The two gites are located some 500 yards below our “manor” La Combe de Ferrière, on our terrain of 40 hectares amidst the chestnut grooves. So it’s quiet.

Our village at 3,5 miles is called St. Michel de Dèze and is half way between Ales and Florac on the R.N. 106 and 55 miles north west from Nimes.

We are on the edge of the National Parc of the Cevennes and are under the influence of the Mediterranean.

Meal on demand on the terrace of our manor

Barbecue

Bridge over the Galeizon river in St Martin de Boubaux

HIKING

Definitely an area for walking and we have 8 described walks starting from our house and lots more when you start a bit further on. The Grand Randonnée passes above our house.

THE SURROUNDINGS

We are situated in the middle of the Cévennes, a middle-high mountainous area covered with chestnut trees and small steams. And nature, lots of it. And calm and quiet, very quiet. You can still hear the silence here. And see the stars !

Automne

TO DO

You can also rent bikes but you need to be in good condition: it is steep.

We are 20 miles from the famous Gorges du Tarn and the Causses, the chalk plateaus and the granite area of the Mont Lozère.

Close by you can rent a donkey to go walking with the kids and in Florac you can go explore the caves (spéleo) or go canoeing.

TO VISIT

To visit we suggest Nimes (Roman times) Anduze (bambousaraie) Arles (festival) Vézenobre (mediaeval village) and Uzes (duke-city).

In a 20 mile radius there are several small musea and a bit further on the so called Chaos of Nimes, the underground river the Bramabiou and the castle of Portes.

Our links

Coming from Ales go direction Florac/Mende on the R.N.106. About midway, take the D13, direction Col de Pendedis, to your left, just after having passed Collet de Déze. Follow the D13 for about 8 miles and you are at the Col de Pendedis. Keep right and after 50 yards, after the first house on your right, turn right into a small road, leading towards St. Michel de Déze. Follow this road for a mile and you have arrived.

When coming from Florac take the R.N. 106 direction Ales and turn right at the Col de Jalcreste towards Les Ayres. Pass through this hamlet and keep on going till you get at a T-crossing. Turn left and after a little you will see three signpost (St. Martin de Boubaux, La grandÇombe and Collet de Dèze.) Turn back in the direction you came from and after 50 yards, on your right, just after the first house on you right take the little road leading towards St. Michel de Dèze.. It is difficult to see the little road coming from that direction, so that’s why I propose to simply turn around !
