About this campspace

Welcome to the Cévennes at the perched yurt.
Perched because it sits on a beautiful wooden platform between mountains and forests, surrounded by cascading terraces that take the sun hostage and provide shade for siestas. Life outside, in the fresh air. Walks galore and the Chassezac, a divine plunge into clear water, within easy reach of the lucky few. Wild to the extreme for some, on the bangs for others. A little piece of elsewhere, a little piece of something else.

The perched yurt is not unique; there are many other yurts in magnificent locations, so beautiful is this country!
The perched yurt may stand out for its environment, its setting - a Cévennes hamlet far from any hustle and bustle, with no light pollution at night. Above all, it stands out for its hostess's determination to offer a sober, comfortable place, where the essentials are not lacking. Self-sufficient in water and energy, it requires your active participation (managing your water consumption in general and the production of hot water, dry toilets, compost...). The yurt is therefore an experience in happy sobriety, for the duration of your vacation...

The activities
Around Elze you'll find lakes, via ferrata, accrobranche, canoeing, caves of all kinds, rivers, mountains (mont lozère), museums, a nature park, concerts and summer festivals, restaurants, cafés... but nothing in the village! don't forget the bread...

Other things
Elze lies at the crossroads of the Gard, Lozère and Ardèche regions, offering a wide range of walks and hikes.

Yurt

  • Yurt

The perched yurt consists of a 30 m2 yurt for 2 or 4 people, on a large 80 m2 wooden terrace overlooking the gardens and forest. There's also an open-air kitchen under the yurt (out of the water and in the shade).
The decor is pretty much inspired by the 15 years I spent in Africa, and you'll sleep on a Tuareg bed, which gives you nomadic dreams... everything else is second-hand but nothing flashy, just enough to give a feeling of comfort and relaxation.

The sanitary facilities
The sanitary facilities are located in a hut next to the yurt, with an African-style shower and separate dry toilets. Hot water is provided by solar-powered showers.

The amenities
Half of the electricity is supplied by the solar panel (yurt lights and USB charging ports), and the other half by the mains (kitchen). So there's plenty of choice when it comes to recharging your laptop/tablet.
All homes in the hamlet are supplied with water from a single source - our most precious common good - so please take care.
Internet only via connected mobiles and tablets.
The fully-equipped kitchen is simple, but contains all the essentials for making tournedos béarnaise, and probably everything else too... but no microwave or dishwasher.

from € 48.00 per night

Your host, Sylvie

My name is Sylvie, I live in a remote hamlet in the Cévennes, magnificent, calm, spring water, wild animals and river... I have lived and worked 15 in Africa and Madagascar, I love India and old Europe too, solidarity and collective intelligence. Passionate about history, plants, in awe of nature, suspicious of all things in -ism.
There is a beautiful yurt with outdoor but covered kitchen and bathroom... this place deserves to be shared. Notice to amateurs!
