"A superb stage on the GR70 : a wonderful welcome and a marvellous dinner. Just make sure to spot the sign where the trail meets the main road!"

"A beautifully restored old stone house, with a stone staircase and a huge fireplace. Warm welcome from a young couple who prepared an exceptional meal on the shaded terrace, with a little stream nearby to cool your feet and the chance to swim in the river near the bridge. They also raise donkeys on the farm just up the hill."

« Vous êtes accueillis dans une maison Cévenole typique, avec une cheminée monumentale datant du 13ème siècle ! Magnifique ! Nous avons même pu profiter de la rivière en contre-bas et dîner sur la terrasse (excellents plats faits maison à partir des produits locaux et légumes du jardin). Un couple qui vous accueille chaleureusement et partage avec vous l'histoire de ce lieu insolite, et de cette belle région. Sur le GR67, Pont de Burgen est très bien indiqué. Allez-y ça vaut vraiment le coup ! »

"One of the best places to stay on the Stevenson Trail. A very warm welcome from the young couple, a peaceful spot right by the river, and a beautifully renovated stone house with several comfortable rooms. The evening meal was excellent, cooked with vegetables straight from the garden."

"A very warm welcome in a beautiful setting — our favourite guesthouse of the whole trip. Our hostess was lovely and an excellent cook. We especially appreciated being able to relax on the terrace even before the official check-in time."
