Great old well-restored Bastide in a very peacefull hamlet full of amazing views on the untouched National Park of the Cevennes
France, Languedoc Roussillon - Gard
Best points about the property:
" Bastide d'Esparon is a special place to stay ideal for one family (5 ) or two families sharing (up to 14). Two great and seperate old houses are converted for gentle family living, linked by terraces outside and staircases inside with two seperate entrances allowing for the perfect privacy of each family. Fantastic views. Very peaceful Bastide in a small hamlet in the untouched Cevennes Meridionales and the Causses. It has 3 great outdoor living spaces/terraces with fantastic views.This Bastide has been created to accommodate for friendly and family gatherings. A well-restored place, much loved by the creative, colour-conscious family who have owned it for 50 years, it has two of everything: sitting rooms with fireplaces, kitchens (one outside), one terrace for privacy and peace, another for joyous gatherings. Inside, history speaks through several levels and thick old walls (some say it was the local Merovingian castle). The house stays ice and cool during the hot summer days Bastide d'Esparon is located in the untouched and intact hamlet of Esparon which is a 'Village Classé'. You are at 700 meters--the eagle’s-eye views are amazing and it is genuine rural France. This part of the Cevennes joined in 2011 the UNESCO World Heritage for its authentic natural landscapes. Located in The Parc National des Cevennes, from the Bastide d'Esparon, you can walk in the hamlet without cars, go and see the roman chapel and into a pine forest on the top of the eagle's nest. Bastide d'Esparon is situated in the Languedoc-Roussillon. 40 minutes from Montpellier and Nîmes. "

Hints and tips from the owner:
See the personal website of the owner" A most atmospheric, æsthetic retreat from the busy world, cooled by mountain breezes in the blistering summer, with superb walks, rivers for swimming or canoeing down in the valley, unusual excursions galore - and just 9km from all shopping. The Local market is fantastic with only local products, most organic. Perfect for nature-lovers who love to walk and hike on the great trails, go to the surrounding rivers and picknick. "
