The Karmin

2 km from Le Vigan in a 17th century hamlet, surrounded by nature on 27 hectares in a former spinning mill where art is omnipresent; in charming cottages for 2 to 10 people you can enjoy the Finnish sauna, massages, fireplace, natural swimming pool…

Together we share this unspoiled corner of nature. This 17th-century hamlet houses workshops, gîtes, and guest rooms. Rescued from ruin, this Cévennes farmhouse has become an oasis of creativity and well-being in the Cévennes mountains.

Over 20 years ago, we chose to settle and raise our children in the southern Cévennes, at Mas de Vézénobres, a stone's throw from Le Vigan. Or should we say, Mas de Vézénobres chose us? I truly believe that if, behind its thick bramble hedges, crumbling roofs, and somber solitude, one could see life in this place, hear children's laughter and the hurried footsteps of silk spinners and men returning from the woods… Here we are, the laughter is still there, beauty has returned, and the family is working here… We invite you to discover this preserved place with us… On 27 hectares of meadows and forest, you will find paths and hidden corners, springs, a cave, and a stream. Everything here invites you to explore the landscape. A little paradise where we blend art and the art of living. Mas de Vézénobres is an ideal starting point for discovering the wild beauty of the Cévennes mountains, with hiking trails right on the doorstep. Nearby attractions include the spectacular Cirque de Navacelles. On-site, you can refresh yourself in the spring water of the natural pool*, go for a walk, or enjoy Land Art workshops and the wellness area (Finnish sauna*, Ayurvedic massages, etc.). We offer a high-quality set menu (with gluten-free options available). Land Art workshops are offered every Thursday from 16 pm during the summer; the bar is open to friends and musicians on certain evenings. Our cottages are equipped with kitchens, comfortable bathrooms, and terraces overlooking the valley. Each cottage is decorated according to a theme, with carefully selected accessories and original artworks, often by Paula Anke or Paul Duc. The diversity of the cottages allows us to accommodate couples, families or groups.

*Swimming in the stream and wood-fired sauna depending on the weather conditions.
