WHO ARE WE
The Blés d'Or accommodation offer is provided by the town of Chalencon. This former school for girls is a building that has stood the test of time. The main house dates from the 13th century, as evidenced by the French ceiling in the dining room and the imposing fireplaces.
DOLCE VIA WITH BIKE
In 1886, the Railway Compagny of Ardèche began the ambitious project of creating a railway line between La Voulte-sur-Rhône and Saint Agrève. In 1968, the operation of the line ceased, in competition with the road. Since 2018, the old railway line has been rehabilitated as a “soft route”. By bike, on foot or on a rosalie, travel the 90 km of gentle and secure paths, in the heart of the unspoiled landscapes and large natural spaces of the Ardèche.
A PRESERVED NATURE
When you love your land, you take care of it. For example, the villages of Chalencon and Silhac have come together to enhance their wetlands with the mission of restoring and maintaining the meadows and wet woodlands through an agricultural activity that respects the environment and to enhance and give an educational dimension to these environments, in particular via the hiking trail that connects the sites.
SECRET ARDECHE
The surroundings are full of little places that only the most curious can discover. Come and lose yourself at the bend of a path to see what others will never see. Who said curiosity was a bad thing?
