Gîte Marie - Le Mas de Paraloup

4 km from Vallon Pont d'Arc and 2 km from the village of Lagorce, you will find LE MAS DE PARALOUP bathing in the Mediterranean sun between vineyards, lavender and olive groves.

For 5 generations in the family, this 18th century Provençal farmhouse exudes the tranquility and gentleness of the South.
Gîte classified ***, renovated with taste, offering peace and relaxation in an authentic setting.

Half shade, half sun, this large space reflects the traditional rural habitat of Provence which took place around an interior courtyard. You enter the "Marie" gite through the inner courtyard of the Mas.
This character accommodation has kept its authenticity with its exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and old-fashioned tiles that you find in the living room, the dining room / kitchen and in 1 of the 2 bedrooms.
You have two terraces, a south-facing 34m² open-air which invites you to relax and sunbathe in the Mediterranean climate and in the evening enjoy a well-deserved barbecue. The second of 15m² has direct access to one of the bedrooms which offers you a very nice sunset...

Antiquing: a pleasure that I would like to share with you.
Flea markets with a southern accent and the colors of the south!
Antiquing in the early morning on the village squares shaded by the foliage of the plane trees is one of my summer pleasures. I love these objects steeped in history that have a soul. I stroll in search of the 'treasure' that could embellish my Mas and its 4 gîtes.

Children :
• between the plum trees planted by my grandfather half a century ago, you find a playground with two and even three swings, a slide and a climbing rope.
• a pétanque court for all ages.
• Sandbox.
• swimming in the Ardèche and the small river Ibie (paddling) is ideal for small children.
