We had a great time @ cevennen

It was a very pleasant journey. Thank you Yves.

Just returned from this beautiful place and had a lovely holiday. Yves and Laurance were so friendly and helpful yet not intrusive. The apartment was much bigger than it looked in the images and comfortably housed 2 adults and 2 teenagers, the beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed and more, the air conditioning was a bonus. A beautiful big pool was a dream in the hot weather and although it was shared with another family, we didn't really see them so it was more or less ours for the week, there is a great seating area in the day time or evening too. We stayed 9 days and it is a truly beautiful quiet spot with amazing views and lots in the area to do. You need a car as some things are a bit of a drive. We can recommend the local restaurants the food was good and staff very friendly. Not much English is spoken but loved that and got by with our basic French very well as everyone we met was so friendly. Small shops selling most things and a lovely baker in the immediate area but a bit of a drive to a bigger supermarket (half hour). We really enjoyed the local river swimming, a day kayaking, the caves de Salamandres, and a trip to Nimes on the train which was just over an hour away. A busy holiday but a perfect break in perfect tranquility. We would definitely go back again!

We stayed at monsieur Yves' for 1 week with our kids age 14 and 16. The combination of the great views, the nice appartment, the 'wow' swimmingpool and the warm welcome of the owners made this an excellent week in the Cévennes. The appartment is spacious enough for 4, our kids loved to have the big room for themselves. The owners rent also a small house on the same premisses, so you sometimes share the pool with another family. The small village of Chamborigaud is at 1.5 km walkingdistance and has 2 backery stores, a butchershop, 3 small shops for groceries, a pizza-take-away and 3 restaurants with tasty french basic cuisine. The athmosphere is authentic French, with locals bathing in the river (at 400 meters!) and having a coffee in the village. There is a small market on sundaymorning. We visited Nîmes by train from the trainstation in Chamborigaud and took the car to the Pont du Gard. My husband enjoyed climbing some 'cols' by bike and there are several walkingtrails. To get there, the last 5 minutes of the way are the hardest ones, as the houses at Poujol have no housenumber :-) So once you are on the road next to the river Luech, follow it for 1 km, then it turns to the left and you arrive at a small junction. Do not go to Maisonneuve but keep right for 200 meters, then at the second small junction take the 'dead-end' street on the left, and look for the 3th gate on the left (with big green metal fence). The house of the owners is on the top, so you drive all the way up, keep left and you should reach your destination.
