La Magnanerie

Experience the tranquility of the Cévennes in this charming, carefully restored former silkworm farm in the heart of the Cévennes National Park, where you’ll find absolute peace, natural beauty, and the sweet song of birds...

We’ve converted a traditional 19th-century silkworm farm into a holiday cottage to welcome you. We grow sweet Cévennes onions, a PDO specialty of our Cévennes valleys.

This spacious and authentic holiday cottage, with views of the mountains and a south-facing orientation, invites you to immerse yourself in the heart of nature and the melody of birdsong. This old stone house naturally stays cool and also features air conditioning in the living room. At night, the cool Cévennes air offers a comfort that is especially appreciated in the summer.
Enjoy the space and tranquility, swimming (in the river or at the “gourg”), and hiking starting right from the holiday cottage... Located within the buffer zone of the Cévennes National Park—a region listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011—there is no shortage of sites to visit within a 30-km radius: the Maison Rouge Museum of the Cévennes Valleys, the steam train, La Bambouseraie, the Trabuc Cave....
There are plenty of activities throughout the valley during the high season. In the summer, you can enjoy the Cévennes air, which brings a pleasant coolness.

Nestled between Mont Aigoual, the Corniche des Cévennes, Saint-Jean-du-Gard, and Anduze—built along the Gardon River—the village of Saint-André-de-Valborgne has always thrived alongside the water; its presence shapes the landscape, from the river to the fountains, from the spinning mills to the hydroelectric facilities. For fishing enthusiasts, this is a first-class fishing river.
