Slowtravel: travel differently by taking the time to meet with Self and others
La Magnanerie is located in Dions, a small, picturesque and authentic village of 600 inhabitants, halfway between Nîmes and Uzès.
Dions is a true haven of peace at the entrance to the Gorges du Gardon, a listed natural site and Biosphere reserve.
The village is crossed by the Voie Régordane - GR 700, an old trade route from the Middle Ages, linking Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Gilles.
For nature lovers, many hiking and mountain biking trails invite you to discover the garrigue and the surrounding vineyards.
Between the Cévennes and the Camargue, close to the Pont du Gard or the Bambouseraie d'Anduze, the Gard is a department which presents an exceptional historical and cultural richness, a natural beauty which is revealed over the seasons.

Slow Déco: authentic and sustainable countryside spirit
This former Magnanerie, a farm where the Silkworms were raised, has been renovated with passion by its former owners in an ecological and sustainable spirit respecting the buildings and materials of the time.
Our eco-lodge invites the traveler to relax, to slow down, to return to Self. It is a warm place designed to make you feel welcomed as in a family home, in the spirit of our grandmothers.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
We are committed to fostering encounters and conviviality, to creating links with shared spaces, such as in hiking trails or mountain huts. The pooling of resources is oriented in the direction of simplicity, sustainable economy and ecology.

Slowlife: live in harmony with nature and the seasons
The house offers three comfortable and cozy bedrooms with their shared bathroom and toilet.
The decoration is based on the themes of La Magnanerie: Cocon, Papillon and Murier. It is simple, authentic, with natural materials: parquet, stones, linen bed linen of French origin from Linsvosges.
The invitation is calm, slow and disconnected, so our rooms are not connected to Wifi, nor equipped with television.
At breakfast, the taste buds gently wake up with homemade jams and cakes, pancakes or French toast, fresh and seasonal fruits.
