Mountain bike adventure in Europe's Grand Canyon
Spectacular scenery, superb trails, the atmosphere of the South of France with lavender fields and romantic little villages – what more could you ask for?

Welcome to our hotel in the middle of lavender, at the Domaine du Frigoulet
The Domaine du Frigoulet is a farm of the XVIIIe We have renovated and enlarged it with great care, keeping the typical style of the south of France. Thus, it blends perfectly into this heavenly corner, an unspoiled landscape above the Ardèche gorges, with its clear streams and plateaus with the scent of lavender and thyme.
In the middle of nature: our Domaine du Frigoulet offers you a lot of space and calm. With an area of 560,000 m², its own springs, and a forest of pine, oak and chestnut trees, it is in the heart of a wilderness that invites hiking, horseback riding or climbing. Without forgetting of course the mountain bike.
By the way: the thyme, called “frigoulet” in old French, gave the name to our domain.
A typical hotel in the south of France, under Swiss management.

Nous étions là pour une semaine et avions réservé une maison de vacances. Le complexe est très joliment situé sur une montagne, entouré de champs de lavande. L’hôtel est très propre. Le service est excellent et amical et la nourriture, un menu de 4 plats, est très savoureuse. Nous avons apprécié la semaine, nous avons pu marcher et explorer les magnifiques environs. Merci à tout le personnel pour cette semaine mémorable.
