Experience Rural France with Friends

Hike, ramble, practice yoga and even take a cooking class in the most spectacular region of the south of France.  Bring a group of friends (6 to 13) and you stay for free in a French country villa. If your group is a total of 5 or 6 you can opt to stay at the cozy stone eco gite and awake to the sound of cowbells.

 Leave the modern world behind!  Discover an authentic corner of rural France.  Walk along gushing rivers and through fields of wildflowers, up to waterfalls and through the corridors of ancient mountaintop abbeys,  hike elevations starting at 1833 feet up to more than 4000  feet if you are game or ramble through charming villages pausing for a cafe or glass of  local wine!   Return to your cozy lodgings, eat and sleep well.
