The space
Nestled in the heart of a wild and unspoiled natural setting, the hamlet of Rouvignac is a little haven where time stands still, a place to recharge, breathe, and slow down. Surrounded by the forests and hills of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park, this charming place invites you to disconnect and enjoy simple pleasures.
Located 6 km from the Avène-les-Bains spa resort, famous for the benefits of its water, and close to the medieval village of Ceilhes-et-Rocozels, the hamlet is ideally situated for exploring the region. The historic towns of Bédarieux and Lodève are approximately 30 minutes away.
The history of Rouvignac dates back to the 12th century. Here, you will discover, among other things, the Saint-Pierre Church, dating from 1135, as well as around ten 18th- and 19th-century houses, carefully restored while preserving their authenticity.
Today, the hamlet covers 33 hectares of natural surroundings, offering beautiful areas for walking and enjoying a quiet and unspoiled environment. On site, you can enjoy convivial moments around the barbecue area or gather in the small village square, while the children play in the playground.
A simple, warm, and authentic place, ideal for getting together with family or friends, or simply enjoying the tranquility and beauty of nature. 🌿🏡
