Charming air-conditioned gîte, Chauzon Ardèche méridionale

Close to kayaking, cave exploring, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 22-minute drive to Cévennes National Park or the 8-minute drive to Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 506-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the TV.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
