Organic living and river swimming in France’s sultry and sun-baked Languedoc-Roussillon region

Mas de la Fargassa is a family-friendly eco campsite in the French Pyrenees, surrounded by forests and a mountain river. It’s a unique eco community and small nature campsite offering tent pitches, furnished tents and gites in a peaceful, natural setting.

This old Catalan blacksmith’s has been transformed by a Dutch family into an organic farm and unique place to stay (camping and gites). It’s a gentle, international commune-like atmosphere where we come together to enjoy nature and the outdoors.The horse farm is part of the 60-hectare La Fargassa estate, which also includes an organic orchard with various fruit and nut trees. The grounds are home to several animals, including mountain horses, goats, donkeys and dogs. It’s a place where humans, animals and nature coexist in harmony and horseback riding offers an unforgettable experience. Children run freely in the grass, jump from rocks into the river, slide down the waterslide and play adventurous games. The child-friendly campsite provides an unforgettable experience for families, immersed in nature and completely free from Wi-Fi or mobile coverage.Guests can stay in comfortable gîtes, chalets, studios, a yurt or fully furnished tents (available in July and August for families and groups. There is also space for guests to pitch their own tents. The family-friendly environment allows children to swim in the river and meet the animals, while parents relax and enjoy the peace and surroundings. The campsite is open year-round, including all school holidays.The surrounding area invites adventure: hiking along the famous GR10 trail, swimming in natural river pools or joining organized excursions through the rugged mountain landscape. Mas de la Fargassa is a true eco-community where visitors can enjoy outdoor life, nature and the serenity of the wild mountains.The road to Mas de la Fargassa is scenic but narrow and winding, not ideal for large campers or caravans. However, once you arrive, you are rewarded with pure tranquillity, a warm community, endless nature and the authentic outdoor experience.

Bergerie

Cabin · Sleeps 8 · 1 bedroom · 8 beds
Welcome to this nature house! Along a centuries-old footpath that in the past connected the mountains farms and villages, lies our Bergerie, nestled in the wooded foothills of Roc Savador. To reach it from our Mas requires a 10-minute walk up the mountain and is only suitable for people who are in good condition, since it is only accessible on foot. The Bergerie is a spacious, fully furnished, accommodation of 11 x 6 meters with a wonderful new, translucent roof. It has a large stove with oven and a simple cold water supply. It is free of electricity, solar cells and rechargeable batteries are used for lamps and the large cool box. 8 persons can sleep in its unique bedroom. The Bergerie has no bathroom but an external compost toilet. A warm shower can be used at our Mas (10 min walk). From the sunny terrace, with picnic table and chairs directly above the house, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Pyrenees.

Chalet

Tiny home · Sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms · 4 beds · 1 toilet
Welcome to this nature house! The Mas, at one time a forge where the iron ore carried from the Canigou was melted, is surrounded by wooded slopes with chestnut, beech and oak trees. A river runs alongside the house and it is possible to swin in the natural pools. We have a lot of animals (goats, horses, donkeys, cats, dogs, chicken...) as well as a biological garden where we grow our own fruits and vegetables. Our place is really peaceful, hiking is possible around the place (GR10 a few minutes away), the landscapes are breathtaking and you can enjoy the starry sky without light pollution! The châlet has its own beautiful private spot on the other side of the river. Suitable for a family with 3 or 4 children. It has 2 bedrooms, shower and separate toilet, kitchen and dining table. A large sliding door gives access to a large covered porch, with a dining table. It has direct access to the river.

Nearby attractions

The narrow mountain road has a precipitous drop; it’s not for the faint-hearted. Nor is it for those who like nipping out to the shops. Any journey away from the site is a bit of an adrenaline sport in itself, so for something a little more relaxing planning a hiking trip with Johan is recommended – particularly his half day or fill day walks across the border into Spain. Pony and horse trekking can also be arranged, with shorter routes for children.

Home-baked bread, cakes, jams, chutney and organic vegetables and fruits are at your fingertips.
