Jardins de Prasserat

Lyon & the Rhône Valley


Some 2.5km northwest of Vallon Pont d'Arc, this delightfully rustic farmhouse offers three pleasantly set rooms with stone walls and views over the gardens or rolling hills in the distance. Bruno, the kind-hearted owner, has a wealth of information on the area, and spreads a fine breakfast that includes homemade jams and sometimes eggs from his own hens.
