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.

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.
Joining Villages de Gîtes was a natural progression, as my parents were already members. I fully share their values: proximity, conviviality and human interaction.
I don’t often get the chance to stay in other Villages de Gîtes, but I love the spiritthat unites us all.
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.
