Themes of your stay
- SWEET BABYGoing on holiday with one or more children is not always easy. That's why we have created the 'loving baby' stay. No need to bring all baby's things and overload your car, your hosts will provide the necessary equipment: cot, high chair, changing mat, etc. The owners will advise you on family activities and outings accessible with a push chair. In some cases they can even arrange babysitters so that you can spend an evening alone together.
- INTERNET ADDICTSStay connected, receive your emails, surf the net, or work online…To stay in touch with your loved ones or your work, send news or your holiday photos, to search for an itinerary or plan the next stage of your holiday, your gîte has an internet connection accessible during your stay.
- THE HAUTES-ALPES BY BIKESome of the most famous sporting events have taken place on the Southern Alps roads and tracks (Tour de France, Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, French mountain bike championships, Worldcup, etc.) and the region is nowadays known as a bicycle paradise. The marked itineraries for both mountain bikers and touring cyclists make it a pleasure accessible to everyone. Your hosts make your stay even easier by providing a storage room for your equipment, a repair kit and information.
GITE RANDO (HIKERS)The accommodation is situated near one or more marked hiking trails (PR, GR). The owner provides topographical maps (IGN) and guidebooks. He will be able to advise his guests on the itineraries and can provide a packed lunch (if you take your dinners with him).
CHRISTMAS IN A GÎTEAs Christmas approaches, everyone prepares for the festivities: illuminated tree, crib and its figurines, stockings hanging from the fireplace… Restaurants with their traditional menus are not to be outdone. Your hosts will be happy to point out local activities and will have decorated the gîte for the celebration. On your arrival: a bottle of champagne, chocolates and sweets. Fully experience the Christmas tradition in Hautes-Alpes.- GITE AT THE WATERFRONTThere is no shortage of water in the Alpes du Sud with its numerous dams favourable for swimming, boating and fishing.
