Hello, I'm Edward. I'm a native English speaker but I've been living in the Cevennes for over 25 years and in France for much longer. I enjoy good wine, all the cuisines of the world, nature and music ! Your turn now!

The old schoolhouse is located in the Ardèche area of France but borders the Lozère and Gard areas. The building dates from around 1865 and was used as a primary school right up until 1979.

Spacious and quiet, it is built on a rocky promontory which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Chassezac valley. It is easy to see why the spot where it was built was once called 'Bellevue'. If you enjoy the deep peace and quiet of the countryside, the beauty of mountain scenery (the Cevennes national park is only 15km away), if you're into hiking or afternoon siestas, the old schoolhouse is the place for you. See you soon !

L'Ancienne École 220, Route du Petit Préou - 07140 SAINTE-MARGUERITE LAFIGÈRE (Ardèche et piémont cévenol)
GPS coordinates : 44.47423, 3.98924



Coming from Les Vans (07140): exit the village on the D901 in the direction of Villefort but 500m after leaving Les Vans you will see the D113 road on your right towards Sainte-Marguerite-Lafigère. The road is a winding country road along the river Chassezac, a little narrow at times and with lots of bends but very quiet. After 20km (25 minutes or so), when you start to see a series of villages on the hills across the river on the left you are almost there. Just before Corde, don't miss the small sign on your right indicating La route du Petit Préou and the tarmac road that leads up to the house [if you go through the village of Corde, you have gone too far!] At the end of the tarmac road, there is a small house with vehicles around it. L’Ancienne école is the big house behind it.

Coming from Villefort: go through the centre of Villefort, drive 200m and then turn right onto the D51 road towards Pied de Borne (8 km). When you arrive in the centre of the village in front of the restaurant "Les Gorges du Chassezac", cross the bridge on the left towards Les Vans. On the other side of the bridge, there are 3 possible directions, stay on the right on the D51 to bypass the EDF factory and arrive in the Ardèche where the D51 becomes the D113. Stay on this road to drive through the small village of Cordes. 1 kilometre further on, you will see the sign on the left for the Route du Petit Préou. At the end of the tarmac road there is a small house with vehicles around it. The Ancienne école is the large house behind it.

Journey in April 2023
"Bien placé, bien pensé et bien réalisé"
Un heureux hasard nous a conduit dans cette ancienne école rénovée en gîte. Sur l’adret, le bâtiment est à proximité de pied de borne à pied. Les récents travaux d’aménagements rendent ce gîte confortable.
3 jours bien agréables. Merci Edward

Response of the owner :
Merci d'avoir choisi l'Ancienne école. Un groupe de marcheurs bien sympathiques qui m'ont laissé en plus de la farine faite maison. Merci encore.
