“Get back into jogging; pay the bills; book an appointment with the doctor.” Does your daily life feel like a never-ending to-do list? What if, for once, you treated yourself to a break? A breather? A moment of pure relaxation? Like napping on the grass and daydreaming under the Milky Way…

In complete comfort!

Une nuit à la belle étoile…

Counting shooting stars whilst lying on a blanket is lovely. But doing it from a cosy bed, inside a glass pyramid, is even lovelier (and more comfortable!). High up in Vébron, in the heart of the Cévennes International Dark Sky Reserve, the sky is inky black and the stars shine brightly. The constellations stand out so clearly that they seem to form some kind of contemporary artwork. Or perhaps they’re part of a unique sound-and-light show, complemented by the song of nocturnal birds? One thing is certain: in this place, with your head in the stars and your eyes full of them, sleep will eventually carry you away. All this in a pyramid worthy of a five-star hotel. At the very least.

And more if there’s a connection

Une sieste au soleil…

Taking a nap whilst lying on the grass or in a hammock, with a breathtaking view right in front of you: that’s what your afternoon has in store. You might well find yourself wanting to make this timeless moment last a little longer. Why not organise an impromptu picnic at sunset, perhaps?

Alone with the sunset

Un bivouac loin de tout

Why not make the most of this long weekend to get away from it all? A getaway to Lozère will help, but it’ll be even better if you camp out in the middle of nowhere, all on your own! To camp in accordance with the rules, follow our tips for a dream night under the stars.
