Fed up with modern life?
How about a hike without seeing anyone for hours?
If you have forgotten what silence sounds like, or what
vegetables, fruit and mushrooms from the garden taste like ...
Come and spend a week with us at Mas La Devèze, a sixty-acre,
organic farm in the heart of the Cévennes National Park (altitude
1,000 metres).
The house which dates from 1789 sits on the flanks of the Mont
Lozère and the Bougès plateau.
It has been entirely renovated by Leonore Folmer and Charles
Veenstra who will welcome you.
Two streams run through the land—a mosaic of meadows and woods—where
our herd of sheep and our two ponies graze.
Our cottage and hikers
guesthouse offer a perfect base for exploring this fascinating
region; canoeing in the Tarn Gorges, skiing on the Mont Lozère,
cycling or hiking in an untouched landscape, ....
If you want, you can also help us on the farm: harvesting
shiitake mushrooms from the oak logs on which they grow, a bit of
shepherding (with the help of our two Border Collies, Drift and
Zorro, if you are lucky), picking the various red fruits that we
grow at La Devèze—it depends which season you come.
