    Hiking

    “La Fontasse” is unique. Due to a lack of municipal infrastructure, this youth hostel functions as a refuge. She does not have access to water or electricity. For its proper functioning, the managers of the premises were obliged to make this large yellow building entirely autonomous. Its energy comes from solar panels and wind turbines. We practice selective sorting and waste recovery. Rainwater is collected in large cisterns and there is even a grocery store on site that sells local and seasonal products.

    Hiking

    A real youth hostel where members can stay. Group rooms only. Water and electricity always rationed. In the evening wild boar roaming in the irises by the house. Extremely romantic.
