Vauvert, Nîmes and Arles – Cultural Pearls 2018 We are delighted to read what the tourism industry’s trade press is predicting: in 2018, more than a third of travellers would prefer a Chambres d’ Hôtes instead of a hotel complex.

On New Year’s Eve a year ago, we were in the middle of the preparatory work for our Maison d’ hôtes project “Envie de Sud”. Get out of the comfort zone and into adventure. Let’s go into a life together according to our rhythm and gain life long experience. And that’s exactly what happened: The […]
In the last few weeks I’ve been asked several times about our “Table d’ Hôtes” in the town. It smells so good when you walk past the Envie de Sud in the evening, » flattered residents and passers-by. They stop in front of the kitchen window and look. Some are shy, some are offensive. I […]

If you want to understand the people of Petite Camargue and their soul, a visit to a Manade is highly recommended. In no other place, you can experience the deeply rooted tradition of bull and horse breed with the sometimes harsh nature. We follow the invitation of the Manade Martini and visit their farm in […]
