In short
Description
We welcome you to our quiet, secluded gîte in the heart of the wild Estéron valley.
Our farm is located in the Estéron valley, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Préalpes d'Azur. We moved here in 1995, and for several years now we've been committed to agro-ecology, self-sufficiency and diversification on our farm, in order to be more resilient and adapt to the effects of climate change.
Our gîte is attached to the family home, but totally independent. You'll find a bedroom, a sleeping area, a kitchen/dining area, as well as a shaded terrace to enjoy the landscape and birdsong.
If you're interested in farming, the gîte is at the heart of the farm, so you can follow our rhythm of life and talk to us about our work.
If you're more into sport and the great outdoors, you'll find plenty of walks, canyoning, climbing and river swimming (with an introductory walk), starting from the gîte or within a few kilometers.

Territory description
Our farm is in the commune of Sallagriffon, a small village (50 inhabitants) in the middle of the mountains (alt. 700m), in the Grasse hinterland - in the Haut-Estéron valley. We're in the Préalpes d'Azur regional nature park.
Our valley, isolated and quite wild, is little-known. It's full of short hikes and canyons (we're close to the Aiglun and Riolan canyons).
