Cantobre Cottage | Stunning Valley Views from our 3* Gîte bordering the Cévennes and Grands Causses

3 Bedroom Cottage in Cantobre, Nant

Most people who see the views from our gites tell us that we live in paradise! A swimming pool is not necessary here, the river is just below us, a breeze blows most of the time and in summer our gites are cooled by an underfloor cooling system.
Both gîtes (or self-catering holiday rentals) have stunning views of the Dourbie valley from their private terraces and access to our 1250 m2 garden that includes a pétanque/boules court, a grassed area and our own rock that has the best views of Cantobre and a 360° panoramic view of the Trèvezel and Dourbie valleys and the 3 limestone plateaux (Causse Bégon, Causse Noir and Causse du Larzac) that surround us. There is also a small, terracotta tiled, north facing terrace with views that equal the stunning views from each gîte’s private terrace. The gîtes have very well equipped kitchens, washing and drying machines and for the occasional rainy day the living rooms are equipped with Terrestrial Television which provides French channels and a Satellite receiver to watch UK Freesat channels. We share our own library with you so you can read a book or two while you stay with us, the library also contains many games and puzzles, and CDs and DVDs that you can play on the DVD player provided. Free secure high speed WiFi internet is also provided. Parking is not available in our mediaeval village, the nearest is 100m from the gite.
The gorges and valleys of southeast Aveyron make deep cuts into the wild limestone plateaux (Causses) of the Grand Causses Regional Natural Park and the better known Cévennes National Park creating an area of outstanding natural beauty and a feeling of being in a land that time forgot. Still standing are fortified villages later maintained by the Knights Hospitaller but originally built by the Knights Templar who probably also helped in the fortification of our village, Cantobre. It’s an area rich in wildlife of all sorts, from wild boar, deer, beavers, eagles and four sorts of vulture, to orchids and other wild flowers. We have seen more species of butterflies in and around Cantobre than are in the whole of the UK.
We used to come to the area for our holidays and it’s perfectly situated for a wide variety of visits and activities. It’s now our home and we are on hand to help you with your luggage and shopping when you arrive and to make your stay more enjoyable.
You could spend a holiday here without having to use your car, hiking in the hills, walking down to the river Dourbie for a swim in the crystal clear water or a spot of sunbathing or maybe fly fishing for the local zebra trout; alternatively, just stay in our secluded garden with 360° views of the surrounding countryside or relax on your gîte’s terrace with a bowl of olives, a glass or two of wine and our bird watching telescope.
If you did want to drive somewhere, 45 minutes north takes you to the Tarn Gorge, the northern boundary of France’s Mediterranean climate. Also a favourite route for cyclists, 30 minutes west down the Dourbie Valley is Millau, a big centre for outdoor sports such as paragliding, canoeing, caving and climbing (we also have our own climbing wall at Cantobre) with an Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool, and it’s our nearest big town with hypermarkets and a large outdoor market, it’s also home to the Millau Viaduct, the world’s tallest bridge. 5 minutes to the south takes you up the Dourbie Valley to the 10th century village of Nant with restaurants and bars, our nearest shops and market; in summer there are free music events every week. Another 25 minutes southwards takes you out of the causses and the mountain air and into the Languedoc, France’s largest wine production region; another 45 minutes and you’re at the Mediterranean coast!
There are lots of family visits to go on, boat trips down the river Tarn, caves and caverns with stalagmites and stalactites, visiting Roquefort cheese caves, the reptile house, wild animal parks and Micropolis, a whole centre about insects; there are even Knights and jousting tournaments; all are favourites places to visit when our young grandson comes to stay.

Summary: We have stayed at quite a few Gites over the years but this has got to have the most spectacular views you could ever wish for. On arrival, our host Lionel, met us in the car park and put all our luggage into his car to transfer them to the Gite. After unloading our luggage Lionel showed us around the Gite (we stayed in the Griffon Gite) and told us where everything was and how to use it. The Gite was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had all the equipment needed. For dog lovers there is Midge, Lionel and Peggy's Cocker Spaniel who loves a bit of fuss. If you want any information about the area Lionel and Peggy are a mine of information. The Gite also has a well stocked library with games, a vast collection of CDs and DVDs. We had a great stay and the photos that we took just can't do the views justice. On our last evening we were invited round to Lionel and Peggy's for drinks and nibbles which was a very pleasant way to finish the holiday. I can recommend Val De Cantobre Gites as a well run, clean establishment located in a historic small village with fantastic views.
