The Little Trêve of Alès (Cévennes)

A short distance from cycling, hiking trails, and more, this smoke-free cottage lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 7-minute drive to Musée Bibliotheque Pierre-Andre Benoit or the 7-minute drive to Regordane Way (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 463-sq-ft cottage, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the outdoor furniture and charcoal grill. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the TV (video library available).

This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, toilet paper, and soap. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
