a holiday village in
the heart of nature

The Bagnols les Bains natural health spa is only 9km away; they do special tariffs according to the number of health spa treatments you sign up for.

La Garde Guérin overlooks the impressive Chassezac Gorges. It is one of the most beautiful fortified villages in France. The former chapel of the castle, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, is now the church. 
Of interest nearby: the village of Vialas (typical Cévennes village with its old houses and Protestant Church dating back to 1612) and the Pont de Montvert - site at which Père Du Chayla, accused of torturing Protestants, was murdered in 1702; the event triggered the Cévennes Uprising of the Camisards (Calvinist Partisans)
Your 4-day / 3-night walking holiday takes you from Aumont-Aubrac to Saint-Chely d’Aubrac, along the Via Podiensis which passes through the Massif Central on its way to Aquitaine and down to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. This is one of the most appealing yet rugged parts of the trail that crosses the vast and remote Aubrac plateaux. The trail is lined with stone crosses, solitary castles, priories and Romanesque chapels. Medieval pilgrim hospices sprang up along the way in medieval times. Today, however, you’ll stay in charming Bed & Breakfast establishments (most rooms have en-suite facilities) or traditional country inns or hotels.
