We'll be delighted to show you these marvels, such as the rhinoceros or the cetoines, the praying mantis, crop helpers such as hoverflies, numerous butterflies such as the Spanish tobacco or the flambé, the laughing frog, birds such as the wren, bats that nest on the farm... If you pay close attention, you might even spot our hedgehog, the nightjar, the toad or the orvet!This gîte is located in the heart of our organic farm, where we grow seasonal fruit and vegetables for you to enjoy. In front of the gîte's enclosed terrace is a fish pond. The garden with the enclosed swimming pool is below the pond, visible from the terrace. The swimming pool is shared only with us.The gîte is situated halfway between the pretty villages of Mirmande and Cliousclat, at the gateway to the Drôme provençale. Mirmande is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. It's a hilltop village built of old stone, with an undeniable, authentic charm. It was chosen for the filming of Nils Tavernier's "L'histoire du Facteur Cheval" in 2017! Here you can stroll in peace and quiet, discovering different artists (sculpture, painting, pottery, glass beads, sewing, local craftsmen, etc.) and good restaurants and bars. Cliousclat is a tiny, almond-shaped village, also perched on a hill, renowned for its pottery, traditionally linked to the presence of clay in the neighbouring hillside. Here you'll find traditional potteries, including the famous Grande Poterie, listed as a Historic Monument. The local environment is very special: you are in a small hilly area spread over 5 communes, mainly made up of forests and small, intimate valleys. There are many hiking trails, and a race is held every year in the massif on the last weekend in March: the Trail de Mirmande. There are many other hilltop villages nearby, including Marsanne, Grâne, Autichamp and La Laupie. An accrobranche course is 5 km from the gîte. The Drôme-Ardèche region offers a wide range of cultural (concerts, theatre, châteaux, etc.), natural (Saoû forest, Drôme and Ardèche valleys, Vercors, caves, etc.) and sporting (water sports, hiking, cycling, horse-riding, etc.) activities.
