Lozère is a department where nature conservation is paramount. It is an area of moderate sized mountains that are criss-crossed by crystal-clear rivers and endless walking tracks. It offers a real escape for those seeking a return to unspoilt nature, open spaces, fantastic vistas and dramatic gorges. It is walking and fishing country par excellence. South facing with three floors, this lovely house is filled with sun and light from dawn to dusk and two glass-enclosed verandas provide exceptional vistas of the surrounding countryside. The 5 bedrooms provide the highest standard of comfort and mealtimes on the veranda, the dining room or on the terraces are relaxed and delicious. |

The property's own shady stretch of the river leads to a waterfall and provides a series of beachy, pebbled areas perfect for riverside painting, private trout fishing or just relaxing, (bring your wellies!) The nearby town of Langogne is on the borders of three departements - Lozère, Ardèche and Haute Loire, each with its own distinct character. Les Roches is the perfect base from which to explore this varied countryside. The spectacular Gorges du Tarn and de la Jonte (the only European Vultures in France) are within easy driven distance as is the Wolf Sanctuary near Mende. You can expect a consistently high standard of food at Les Roches: your hostess, Christine, an accomplished cook serves both French and international dishes (she once won an award for the "Best Breakfast in Britain", although here in France, the heavyweight English breakfast has been replaced by a lighter, continental style. Lunch and dinner menus are varied and imaginative and feature recipes gathered during her time in Greece and in the United States. Pinic lunches available on request. Evening meals are served either in the elegant dining room, the lower veranda or outside on the Langogne Terrace. Vegetarian and other special diets can be accommodated so long as advance notice is given. Open all
year. |
