Front Row Seat to Wild France
This old stone house is built up against a cliff in the Tarn River Gorge, a place of exceptional beauty. We stayed in early spring and enjoyed the fresh greenery, bird songs and the occasional fox sighting. It's very secluded yet convenient to town and exploring the area. The house has a well equipped kitchen, good lighting, a comfy sofa for evenings and a very good bed. The porch offers a fine view of the river and canyon and is great for eating out. Clare and Alex have worked hard to make this a five-star experience, and we appreciate their hospitality.

Beautiful location with stunning scenery
If you love nature and tranquility this spot is perfect! The house is comfortable and clean and what makes this place truly special is the location and warm welcome from Clare and Andy. During our stay we were lucky to see beavers, vultures, kingfishers as well as hearing owls, deer and some animals dancing on the roof in the night! The village of Sainte Enimie is really close for restaurants and provisions and from there you can pick up the footpaths running along the river Tarn, with stunning scenery at every turn. Would definitely recommend you visiting here without hesitation.

Peaceful location by River Tarn in a beautiful setting
A wonderful stay in Clare and Andy's beautiful gite near the banks of the river Tarn. The wild flowers and wildlife in the area were amazing and the wildlife environment that Clare and Andy are creating was inspirational. A great area to stay with plenty of activities - we particularly enjoyed canoeing on the river - and some beautiful villages. We had a great time and hope to return.

A Little Gem
From the minute we arrived we felt relaxed, comfortable and welcomed. Clare and Andy are very knowledgable about the Cevennes and care very much about the environment they look after which is what makes this place part of the cevennes and not just somewhere in the cevennes. The gite was cute and perfectly formed, the location is absolutely beautiful having its own private beach, pretty river and stunning backdrop. We spent a lot of time just sitting on the patio listening and watching all the wildlife, we were in heaven. Just 2km away is Saint Enimie, a really pretty medieval village full of character and many shops and restaurants. The Gorge du Tarn is just stunning and we absolutely loved it. We will definitely return in the not too distant future.

Ein kleines Stück vom Paradies
Wir kannten die Region Okzitanien schon und waren bereits sehr verliebt. Hier an diesem Fleckchen Erde haben wir unser Herz endgültig verloren. Das alte Steinhaus ist zweckmäßig für 2 Personen eingerichtet und wir haben nicht wirklich viel vermisst. Es war innen angenehm kühl und auch auf der Terrasse konnten wir es tagsüber aushalten, da sie umrahmt ist von großen Bäumen. Eine himmlische Ruhe herrscht auf dem großen Land der Gastgeber. Nur das Zwitschern der Vögel oder Summen von Insekten unterbricht die Stille. Übrigens haben wir dort Insekten beobachtet, die wir noch nie zuvor gesehen haben. Der Weg zum Fluss mit dem Kiesstrand dauert keine Minute und der Anblick, der einen dort erwartet, ist grandios. Die Schlucht ist atemberaubend schön. Der Fluss bietet eine kühle Erfrischung, allerdings hatten wir einen relativ niedrigen Wasserstand erwischt, was aber nicht schlimm war. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist ein kleines Abenteuer, aber auch das war für uns kein Problem. Wir kannten das schon von anderen Urlauben in der Gegend. Der kleine Ort Sainte-Enimie ist ebenfalls wunderschön und lädt zum Bummeln und erholen ein. Für unseren Hund war der Urlaub ein Traum. Er ist auf dem Grundstück ohne Halsband und Leine gelaufen und als passionierte Wasserratte kam er voll auf seine Kosten. Die Gastgeber Claire und Andy, die ca. 400 m entfernt wohnen, sind so liebenswerte Menschen, die perfekt in diese Naturschönheite passen. Kurzum: Wir haben 2 wundervolle Wochen in himmlischer Ruhe und grandioser Natur verlebt und kommen sicher nochmal wieder.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Häuschen ist klein aber für 2 Personen mit 2 Hunden absolut ausreichen. Das was man braucht ist vorhanden. Schöne, super, ruhige Lage, fast direkt am Tarn. Nette Mieter, kurzum, wir fanden es sehr schön dort.

Ruhe und Natur
Ein Ort zum entspannen und entschleunigen: Alleinlage, Natur und absolute Ruhe. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, alles funktioniert, die Umgebung bietet alle Möglichkeiten für einen aktiven Urlaub: Wandern und Kanufahren. Insgesamt nur 4 Sterne, da die Zufahrt zum Zeitpunkt unserer Anreise noch nicht ausgebessert und für normale Straßen-PKW dann doch etwas zu abenteuerlich war. An unserem Abreisetag wurde dieses Problem aber behoben. Daher: Gerne wieder.

Nature et calme
Le gîte est en tous points conforme à la description. c'est un îlot de calme dans un environnement enchanteur. On peut se rafraîchir dans l'eau limpide du Tarn, coulant à quelques dizaines de mètres (petite plage bien exposée toute la journée). C'est une excellente base pour visiter la Lozère, les différentes gorges (Tarn, Jonte, Tarnon, ...),les causses (Sauveterre, Méjean, Noir, ...). Les adeptes de randonnées pédestres seront également comblés (il faut apprécier les dénivelées), Nous n'avons eu aucun problème durant notre séjour. Merci à Clare et Andy

Ein Traum im Gorge du Tarn
Das Häuschen von Clare & Andy ist klein, aber absolut ausreichend. Wir waren zu zweit mit zwei Hunden für 12 Tage bei wirklich schlechtem Wetter dort und haben uns trotz der äußeren Widrigkeiten sehr wohlgefühlt. Alles ist sehr sauber und in einwandfreiem Zustand. Die Küche ist gut mit Geschirr und Kochutensilien ausgestattet und die Elektrogeräte sind hochwertig und recht neu. Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft, absolute Ruhe ist garantiert. Auf dem großen Grundstück direkt am Tarnufer leben nur noch die Vermieter selber, welche ein paar hundert Meter weiter einen kleinen Hof bewirtschaften. Das (noch-)englische Paar Clare & Andy sind ausgesprochen nett und hilfsbereit, so haben wir spontan unseren Urlaub von ursprünglich 5 auf 12 Tage verlängern können. Wir haben gleich für nächstes Jahr reserviert. Wer einen Urlaub inmitten des Gorge du Tarn erleben möchte, ist hier goldrichtig.

Très bon séjour au calme. Pas de wifi et peu de réseau GSM ! Gîte confortable et bien conçu dans une vieille bergerie en pierre. A 50 m du Tarn sur la grande propriété privée des logeurs accessibles - Anglais parlant français - car habitant au bout de la propriété et travaillant tous les jours au village. Accès au gîte en bas des gorges par une voie privée non goudronnée et caillouteuse. 2 canoës à dispo sur la plage !

Petit nid que l'on aime à retrouver après une bonne randonnée pédestre ou la découverte des nombreux mégalithes de la région en auto et à pied. Calme assuré, même au niveau e-mail et appel téléphonique.
