Perhaps you have already read or heard about the #CastleProject: our community initiative that started after the pandemic. Beyond organizing cultural programs and running a summer garden space, an important element of the project is accommodation services. We purchased the village’s most beautiful 400-year-old building in 2023. Given the significant interest, we have decided to open two rooms in their current state (habitable but not as charming as we would like) until the renovation of the building is completed. This place is a so called "third place".

A unique accommodation in the heart of Val d'Aigoual, in a picturesque setting, we combine sustainability, ecotourism, and community spirit. A magical garden and the closeness to nature make your stay unique. Before the manor’s full renovation, we offer 2 rooms with a shared bathroom located in the hallway. Our family of 4, along with a cat and a rabbit, lives here. The animals roam freely, except in the guest rooms. The perfect choice to relax and recharge after your adventures! The guest rooms are located on the first floor, next to the bathroom with a shower, situated in the hallway. Option: (Max. 4 guests) The room overlooking the magnificent garden is the largest and most beautiful in the house. It features 4 beds (or a double bed and 2 single beds), a wardrobe, a table, chairs, a reading lamp, and a small hand mirror. Option: (Max. 3 guests, divided into 2 rooms) The road-facing room is perfect for 2 guests. It includes a spacious wardrobe, chairs, a table, a reading lamp, and a small mirror for convenience. The adjoining private room is equipped with a single bed, or can be completed by a child's bed, wall shelves, and a chair for peaceful relaxation. The 400-year-old walls, along with the creaking wooden stairs, doors, and windows, evoke the charm of bygone times—unfortunately, accompanied by their significant noise permeability! We hope that the spacious rooms and bourgeois ambiance will make up for it on 200m2. We share our spacious semi-professional kitchen with you on the ground floor. You can choose to dine together or separately. A separate fridge is available for storing your food. The piano is in the lounge, where you can also watch your favorite shows on the large screen. If needed, we will share with you our bathroom, which has not yet been renovated(!), on the ground floor.

We are in France’s largest environmental protection area, the Cévennes National Park. More precisely, in the village ensemble of Val d’Aigoual, which is also listed as a UNESCO Heritage site, within the village of Valleraugue. For an introductory or exploratory hike, the best option is to follow the stream in either direction. It’s an easy walk that can go on as long as you like, and in summer, the mountain streams offer a refreshing swim. The village has a small grocery store, an excellent butcher, two greengrocers, two bakeries, a pharmacy, a post office, a tabac shop, a real estate agency, two hair salons, a doctor, a masseur, a car mechanic, etc. A real metropolis and naval base, right? :) There are dining options as well. At our place ! And in two restaurants, a pizzeria (takeaway only, and outside the summer season, open only on certain evenings), and a tea house. There is also a non-profit café, and in summer, a small kiosk operates near the pétanque court. All shops close at midday except the gas station and the electric car charging point—because they are automated!
