In short
Description
A vaulted room with character, the coolest room of all!
The "vault" welcomes you between its thick walls, providing optimum protection from the summer heat. Perfect for a couple, a couple with children or a trio. You'll enjoy your own private terrace area with table and chairs. To find your private bathroom (just as cool), leave the bedroom and climb three steps. Toilets, shower and washbasin await you, as well as a small corner with basic kitchen equipment, so you can enjoy the place for a few days without having to go out again to eat.
This room was once a stable: I knew it with goats and then donkeys when my parents ran the place. There have been no more goats on the farm for a long time, and the donkeys now have another home, and, I assure you, although we pamper our animals, we've upgraded the comfort level to welcome you. From now on, we'll be offering you a cosy country home! (No, it's not an oxymoron ;-)
Its great qualities in summer become drawbacks in winter, so the room is only rented from April-May to September-October.
It's a few dozen meters' walk from the parking lot to bring your belongings, but there's a wheelbarrow available, and once you're settled in, what a pleasure to be away from any vehicle! Arrival times: 5pm to 6:30pm. Exceptions possible in case of problems, of course!
2 evenings a week, from July 20 to around August 20 (to be confirmed), you'll be served organic-vegetable food by Chez Jeannette.

About us
Our eco-responsible and farming commitments
For over 50 years, the La Baraque farm has been committed to an ecological approach (and has been a member of the Nature & Progrès network from the outset), rebuilding and rehabilitating its land to promote biodiversity. This includes first and foremost the soils, which were in a sorry state (virtually uncultivated) when the estate was taken over by pine trees. We had to bring back deciduous trees and recreate humus. This has now been achieved, and the high level of organic matter in our agricultural soils enables us to produce a large number of good vegetables, while we naturally continue to cultivate our land in a way that is as respectful of living organisms as possible.

How to get here?
Warning: there are two "chemin de la baraque". The one not to be taken (not passable all the way) starts in a neighboring commune and is a dirt track. The GPS sometimes sends you on it, so don't listen to them.
The "chemin de la baraque", which is the right one, starts from the D51 between Aujac and Bedousses bas. It's a single-lane tarmac road that's 3km long, but seems to be twice as long when you're not used to it ;-) The tarmac becomes dirt for the last 50-100m only.
The nearest train station is Génolhac, half an hour away. If you don't have your own means of transport, I can pick you up by car for a fee.
