🌱 Welcome to Les Masades, an eco-village in the Cévennes National Park! Enjoy a peaceful and rejuvenating stay in this calm and natural setting. Whether you're coming with your family, as a couple, or alone, this unique location at the crossroads of Gard, Lozère, and Ardèche is ideal for relaxation and tranquility. Numerous outdoor activities await you nearby: hiking, swimming in Lake Villefort or the Chassezac River, and treetop adventures.
🛖 La Clède is a small stone house located within the eco-place in a calm and revitalizing environment and with a breathtaking view of nature!
🛌 The enclosed space includes a large outdoor terrace, a kitchen on the ground floor and a mezzanine with a double bed (140 x 200cm). Inside the enclosed space, there is a wood-burning stove for winter use.
🍳 The kitchen is equipped with basic items: two hotplates, a fridge, a sink and kitchen utensils (pots, pans, kettle, toaster, plates, coffee makers, teapot, etc.) to make the most of your stay.
🚻 The shower and toilet are located in the shared bathroom, a few meters from the entrance to the Clède. Dry toilets are available in the summer to save water.
🗣 From the key, you have access to the common areas of the eco-place. The village square is a place of sharing and conviviality where vacationers and residents of the Masades can meet.
💦 The natural swimming pool is also a place to relax with its wooden terrace and lounge chairs to enjoy the summer sun. The water in the pool comes from our spring, and it is naturally filtered by the reeds. Generally, it is possible to swim in the pool from the end of May to the end of July, because after that, the water becomes too scarce to supply the pool.
🧶 You can also discover the Masades boutique, which offers items and services from the hamlet's artisans: basketwork, herbal teas, honey, jewelry, etc. Wi-Fi access and a teleworking space are available at this location. You can also use the internet with the 4G network throughout the place.
🚲 Upon reservation, you can benefit on site from the Rebozo relaxation treatments offered by one of the eco-place residents, as well as breakfasts prepared with organic products, vegetarian or vegan dinners, or even electric bike rentals to explore the region.
🎒 Nearby, you can discover many tourist attractions:
- day hikes, starting from Masades or in the surrounding area (Mont Lozère, Païolive woods)
- swimming areas (Villefort lake, Chassezac gorges, Mazet Plage)
- bike rides in the region (we offer electric bike rental)
- local markets, in Vans or Villefort
- discovery of local heritage (La Garde Guérin)
- Mas de l'Ayre Treetop Adventure Park
🚰 The eco-site is supplied with untreated drinking spring water. In summer, it should be used sparingly. Sheets and towels are not provided; please bring your own. They can also be rented on site upon prior request.
🥾 For your comfort, we recommend bringing closed-toe shoes and flashlights or headlamps for the night.
🧘🏼♀️ In our eco-place, we have chosen a lifestyle close to nature, vegetarian, without tobacco or alcohol. Therefore, we ask you not to consume them in public areas (swimming pool, village square, etc.). Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Il vous reste 5 km de petite route sinueuse mais très jolie pour arriver ! Tâchez d'arriver avant la nuit. Soyez les bienvenu·e·s !
