30 years ago, we fell in love with this little typical Cévenol paradise. Perched 600 m above sea level, in the Cevennes National Park, Mas Corbières was still inhabited by three Cévenol farmers, the Liron’s brothers. We began by rebuilding and welcoming hikers in the Lauze cottage. Year after year we built our own house and developed some activities around welcoming hiking customers, hiking with our donkeys and breeding donkeys originating from Provence.
Currently, Mas Corbières is inhabited by several families and the cultivated terrasses done so for hundreds of years, continue to flourish season after season to offer you an authentic, warmhearted and family adapted place.
Our year turns around different professional activities :
Welcoming guests
Donkey breedings
Hiking with donkeys
Setting up your hikes around our cottages
The veggie garden to feed you and us with fresh food
The chestnuts for our jams
The blueberry production for jams and to sell
The orchard
Chickens recycle our green leftovers to give us fresh eggs
Sheep maintain terrasses and bring manure for the veggie garden.
Our way of life is respectful of the environment in every aspect :biodegradable cleaning products, preparation of meals from our own veggies and local products, minimum soil plowing, selective sorting of waste… With a permanent evolution in that direction.
We worked very early with a circle of other farmers and Cevenol people. It allows us to offer you a lot of welcoming places.
Both Mountain guides, we organize and guide hikes with or without donkeys, roaming through or staying at Mas Corbières.
All the hikes will be adapted to your wishes, for families with young children or as habitual hikers. The Cevennes and our knowledge of the countryside offer a nice variaty of routes in many different landscapes.
The wish to work with a network was acheived by joining the FNAR (Donkey and Hiking Federation), Ecotourism Cevennes, Econeighbors and Esprit Parc National (National Park Spirit).
