Do you have something
to celebrate?

A private 18th-century townhouse, entirely yours for the weekend. Off-season, unhurried, and built for gathering the people you love most.

The House

Where the crowds thin and the house comes into its own.

As autumn and winter settle over the Cévennes foothills, our beautifully restored 18th-century townhouse finds its true rhythm. The wood-burning stove is lit. The terrace, usually shared with summer heat, is yours alone. The pace of the market town outside slows to something closer to how it has always moved.

Gather your favourite people for a quieter, more intimate celebration — a birthday, a reunion, or simply a weekend that deserves marking. Six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and rooms built for long dinners mean the whole group stays together, comfortably, under one roof.

Room to cook, together

Want to take the celebration further? We can arrange a private chef and servers, so you can spend the weekend enjoying the occasion rather than running it.

Other services can be arranged on request. All extras are quoted separately based on your group size and occasion — just ask when you enquire.
