Le Vieux Mas is in the centre of the south of France, due north of Montpellier and west of Avignon. It is in a tiny hamlet called St Michel de Dèze le Vieux, about 6 km south of le Collet de Dèze, which is on the N106 roughly half way between Alès and Florac. The nearest large town is Nîmes, which has a TGV station and airport.  For more details on travel to the area see the getting there page.

The Cévennes is a wonderful region of southern France.  Situated in the region of  Languedoc-Roussillon, it lies between the Mediterranean plains and the uplands of the Massif Central.  Le Vieux Mas lies amongst the ridges and valleys of the heart of the Cévennes, surrounded by chestnut forest and Mediterranean woodland.  A fantastic area for walking, nature, river swimming and with a complex history to explore, it also provides a base for trips to places such as the Tarn Gorges, Pont du Gard, Avignon, Arles and the Camargue.  You can find out more on the local facilities and links pages.
