You and your family are invited to experience an enchanting week in the South of France at the Mas de Salel, an 18th century restored farmhouse which has been transformed into a magnificent holiday vacation destination, catering especially (but not exclusively) to families with children of all ages. Located in the department of the Aveyron (60 miles northwest of Montpellier), and surrounded by splendid natural beauty, the luxurious Mas de Salel is home to our week long walking discovery of the nature, history and traditions of this still untouristed corner of France.
