At the foot of the Mont d’Ardèche nestled among mountains and set deeply into the chestnut woodland of the Bourges valley, you find Margot our bijoux little hideout.
We host guests in our bed & breakfast, organise gatherings, retreats, wilderness weddings and other life-affirming events in the heart of nature.
Come and stay with us in this green paradise. Move in nature’s rhythm. Come swim in wild rivers and escape in the magic of Ardèche.
Breathe. Let your lungs fill with clean air. Listen to the trickling of the stream and rustling of leaves through the treetops. The birds sing their morning song, the butterflies dot around. Watch the stars at night. Laze in a hammock. Just be. You don’t have to do anything. You are on holiday.
We are set in the heart of nature and all our accommodation has its own unique and private outside areas immersed among woodland and mountains.
There are many exquisite wild swimming spots within walking distance. Walking guides, boardgames and a curated selection of books & magazines are available in all our accommodations.
With its stunning soft pillowy valley views, set against the mountain and nestled among trees you will find our little house on what once was a working chestnut farm.

Come into the woods and stay in our cozy wooden cabin by the big poplar tree at the foot of the Chalambelle mountain. The Masel stream can be heard in the distance and cold dips can be taken in it out of the summer season. Many of our guests have spotted wildlife, butterflies, fire salamanders, birds of prey, deer, and wild boars.
Partially off-grid, the cabin gets its water from the Masel stream which originates from the mountain directly behind the cabin. Simply furnished and heated by a log burner, there is ample wood chopped for a comfortable stay. There is an outside hot shower and composting toilet.
Next to the outside covered veranda is a double daybed for day slumbering or watching golden hour in late winter afternoons. Some guests spend entire days relaxing on it or sleep here. The cabin is popular with honeymooners too.

This is true forest bathing: with green space all around, come and take a hot shower next to the trees or take a bath under the light of the moon. A 24-hour soothing playlist from the birds around. Take refuge in our beautiful roomy tents with real beds and all the creature-comforts.
The forest owls calling each other at night in the distance, the cuckoos early in the morning and the thrushes’ easy listening chansons. Nature’s call at its most beautiful.
