If you continue on this path, you can return to the hamlet of Chapelèche in 3 hours, as it is a loop path that allows you to explore the surroundings perfectly: terraces, chestnut groves, meadows, streams and the crest of the mountain culminating at 1,000 metres, with views of the Vercors Massif and part of the Alpine Massif.)

The whole area around the house is easily accessible, so you can set off on long walks or mountain bike rides.
You can swim in the nearby river Glueyre, or in a supervised swimming area near Saint Sauveur de Montagut.
The "Ardelaine" wool museum is also worth a visit (in St Pierreville, 5 km away).
The river and the village are only ten minutes away.
A trip to Mont Gerbier des Joncs (the highest point in the Ardèche and source of the Loire River) is 3/4 of an hour away.
