Château du Fraissinet is a pretty country house which has been nestling in its beautiful valley for at least four centuries. It is mentioned in the annals of 1640 as a fortified farm presided over by a Seigneur. Situated on the edge of the wild, mountainous Cevennes National Park and bordered by the river Gardon, the stunning six acre grounds have lots of quiet corners to explore. Read in the shade of the hundred-year-old chestnut and plane trees, salute the sun on the Yoga Terrace or take a cushion to the river bank and meditate on the myriad tiny fishes and the play of sunlight on the water.
This is real countryside and light pollution is minimal. When night falls you will love star-gazing and planet-spotting and often, on a clear night, will see the Milky Way.
Yoga classes take place on the Yoga Terrace with views of trees and river, or in the dedicated yoga studio with lots of natural light.  Guests enjoy cooling off in the 11m x 5m pool, fed by spring water from the source and cleaned by UVC light to keep chemicals and chlorine to an absolute minimum. 
Guests can choose either a twin-bed room or a single, with shower and wc shared between 2/3 people. A superior single with ensuite shower and wc is also available. Couples may prefer to rent an apartment and be completely self-contained.
Accommodation is full-board and includes three delicious vegetarian meals daily. Organic wine may be purchased from our cellar. Coffee and a selection of teas are always available and guests have facilities for making their own. There are chairs and tables outside on the terraces so you can enjoy an evening glass of wine surrounded by trees and birds. And if you need to keep in touch with the outside world there are plenty of wifi hotspots to tap into.
