Rent a holiday home in historic Cevennes
More than just a geographical region in France, Cévennes lays claim to a historical identity immortalised by the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson in his classic work of travel literature, Travels With A Donkey In The Cévennes. The region is defined by its Gaelic charm and the impressive mountain landscape of the Massif Central. The emblem of the region is the chestnut tree.
Cultural attraction in Cevennes
The vast majority of the region's inhabitants are French Protestants who consider themselves of Huguenot descent and who have lived in Cévennes for over six centuries. In recent times, the region's population has been steadily decreasing and farming, along with tourism in the form of holiday houses and holiday rentals, remains a major source of income. Visitors can explore the historic remains of the Meyrueis and Roquedols castle, the fortified village of La Garde-Guerin and Florac, the location of the Cevennes National Park. In Saint-Laurent-de-Treves, dinosaur footprints can be found engraved in the limestone and Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, along with the Salavas commune, in the dramatic Ardèche Gorge, are popular destinations.
Heeding the call of nature
Mont Lozère is a famous granite mountain located in the heart of the Massif Central which is known for its dramatic rock formations, authentic farmsteads and clear streams. The Cevennes National Park is a signatory of the European Sustainable Tourism Charter and is rich in both flora and fauna. Accordingly visitors staying in holiday homes, holiday rentals and holiday apartments in the region are encouraged to behave in an environmentally friendly manner. Hikers appreciate the clearly signposted trails that crisscross the mountains and lakes. Families with children can rent a holiday house or holiday apartment and enjoy the many outdoor pursuits available in the region such as swimming, mountain biking, canoeing, climbing, horse riding and trout fishing. Cévennes' landscapes are a succession of dark mountains and valleys sculpted in shale, limestone and granite, perfectly exemplifying the synergy between man and nature. Book a holiday home in Cévennes and enjoy its unspoilt landscape.
