Taking up the family torch!

Célia MORIN is opening the doors of the Village de Gîtes La Fontinelle to you for a warm and authentic holiday in the Ardèche. She grew up in the region, in the establishment founded by her parents, who kept it going for 30 years. When they decided to close the business, Célia naturally took up the torch. More than just a holiday village, La Fontinelle is a real place for sharing and getting to know each other, where you can feel like a family.

The history of my village

The history of our holiday village : My parents, who were civil servants in Paris at the time, left everything behind to make their dream come true: to create a holiday village in the Ardèche. My mother, a native of the region, and my father, passionate about the idea of welcoming holidaymakers, built La Fontinelle little by little. After three decades in business, I took over in 2023. Having grown up here and worked alongside my parents every summer, taking over the business was a no-brainer for me, far more motivating than an office job.

My passions

Asa lover of nature and outdoor activities, I enjoy climbing, hiking, trekking and canyoning. I love sharing my passion with our visitors, helping them to discover the region through tours tailored to each individual. Watching them marvel at the Ardèche landscapes is a real pleasure.

My Villages de Gîtes membership

Joining Villages de Gîtes was a natural progression, as my parents were already members. I fully share their values: proximity, conviviality and human interaction.

My favourite Villages de Gîtes

I don’t often get the chance to stay in other Villages de Gîtes, but I love the spiritthat unites us all.

Holiday anecdotes

The activities in the village often give way to memorable… and confidential memories! We like to say:“What happens at La Fontinelle, stays at La Fontinelle“, and I stand by that.😊 Many come back year after year, not only for the venues, but also for the bond we’ve forged over time.

Conviviality and authenticity
