What's nearby

  • This is just one of many spectacular views from a walk entitled "Pas Du Loup". We started at Capluc, a cross on a peak above Le Rozier and did the entire circuit. It's still comfortably in my top ten all time great walks. If you suffer acrophobia it's one to be avoided. The area is also something of a mecca for rock climbers. The whole Goreg du Tarn is a special place for me because the tourist buses don't go there and it's reputedly the deepest gorge in Europe.

L'hôte ne nous a pas prévenu qu'elle ne pourrait pas nous accueillir, nous laissant avec ma fille de 3 ans devant la porte de l'établissement fermé par canicule sans eau ! (Et le tout sans excuse) Aucun sens de l'hospitalité ni même du savoir vivre. A fuire !

A NE PAS RECOMMANDER

J’avais réservé ce logement dans le cadre mon déplacement professionnel. C’était une étape entre 2 journée intenses de rdv. Je suis arrivée à 18h fatiguée de mes rdv de la journée qui se sont enchaînés sous 33° avec 2h30 de route depuis le Puy en Velay, route magnifique mais sinueuse et affamée car déjeuner rapide , bref envie de me poser, dîner et du travail sur mon ordinateur prévu ensuite. Mauvais surprise en arrivant personne pour m’accueillir. Les 3 numéros de tel indiqués sur la porte ne répondaient pas j’ai dû attendre 1h30 avant que quelqu’un n’arrive après plusieurs messages que j’avais laissés sur tous les numéros….autant vous dire que j’étais très en colère. J’ai eu au bout d’une heure d’attente un appel d’une jeune fille je suppose la fille de la propriétaire , cette dernière n’a même pas pris la peine de me rappeler elle même ! Cette jeune fille s’est excusée sans explication en me demandant d’attendre encore 1/2h !! . Je n’ai même pas eu de proposition de remise commerciale qui aurait été la moindre des choses en ce cas !

Sehr schönes kleines Chateau mit netten Gastgebern. Unser Turmzimmer mit Blick auf den Pool gefiel uns sehr. Wunderschöne Sonnenterrasse. Das tägliche schwimmen im gepflegten Pool hat uns besonders gefallen. Typisch französisches Frühstück mit selbstgebackenem Brot und eigen produzierter Marmelade. Sehr idyllisch gelegen. Zum einkaufen oder essen gehen ist Autofahren unerlässlich.

Etwas weit ausserhalb, die Anreise über schmale kurvenreiche Strassen ist abenteuerlich… wer zu spät kommt geht unter Umständen hungrig ins Bett, falls das einzige Restaurant im Ort geschlossen ist. Das Château de Bessas ist die Strapazen aber unbedingt wert. Eine freundliche Gastgeberin, gutes Frühstück, respektvoll in die alten Gemäuer eingebaute Zimmer, ein hübscher kleiner Pool im Innenhof und von den oberen Zimmern und von der Sonnenterasse ein atemberaubender Blick auf das grüne Umland. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Ausflug in die Grotten von Orgnac d’Avens.

La chambre réservée n'était pas disponible, mais apparemment l'hôtesse est coutumière du fait à la lecture d'autres sites. Donc la vue vallée est devenue vue arrière cour. Trop de cheveux par terre. Accueil flegmatique ou jmenfoutiste, mon cœur balance. Prix affiché en chambre petit déjeuner inclus largement inférieur à celui payé. Joli site, jolie chambre et bon repas qui compensent le reste.
