Item Description

Spend a week at the glorious ‘Le Domaine du Chat’  in Les Cévennes in SW France. Relax in a classic country 'mas' that comes with a swimming pool, an olive grove, and Sylvie, the house-keeper, and six bedrooms. The house has extensive private grounds and is 15 minutes by foot from the village of Monoblet. Nearby attractions include a grotto, medieval castles, and a steam train as well as extensive hiking.

Guests need not worry about anything: bedding, towels, cleaning is all taken care of.  Sylvie lives on the premises in a separate apartment and is there to greet visitors. Le Domaine du Chat is a one-hour drive from Nîmes which is 3hrs from Paris by TGV. Nearest big airports are Montpellier and Marseille, both of which have PDX flights with just one connection in Amsterdam.

La Maison is available in September or any time from May to early October except from mid-June to end of August.  The owners who live in Paris open the pool in May and close it in early October.  Confirmation is depending on availability at the time of booking, but booking for a subsequent year is possible if bidders prefer. 

The donors/owners were first introduced to our Alliance many years ago when Joe and Nicole Rivlin stayed at their Paris apartments. The Fainsilbers rent their Paris and Cévennes homes through word of mouth. Guests - many of them from our Alliance - always report an excellent experience. Email info@afportland.org for their contact info.
