Le Mas Des Sédariès

Take your pick from mountain or lake activities within walking distance of the site, with climbs and hikes among the peaks of the Cévennes National Park, or watersports and fishing at the nearby lake. Via ferrata courses are in the area for hair-raising adventures too. By car, several must-see settings are within easy driving distance, such as the Ardèche gorges, the Monts d'Ardèche Natural Regional Park and the gorges of Tarn and Gardon. You should also get along to fab Vallon Pont d'Arc, to see the ancient art in the Chauvet Cave (among the oldest in all the world), and the vast stone arch of the Pont d'Arc, where you can swim in the waters below or pass through the arch to reach 24 kilometres of Gorges de l'Ardèche river for canoeing and canyoning. Just under 15 minutes' north of Villefort is La Garde-Guerin, a medieval town that still has its original Middle Ages watchtower. The town is edged on one side by the Regordane Way, the trade path linking Le Puy en Velay in the centre of France to Saint Gilles du Gard on the Mediterranean. As a central point for centuries, this part of the path is in a strategic and highly scenic setting, spanning from Monts Ardechois in the west to Mont Ventoux and Mont Lozere to the south-west and west.
