Hello and welcome to Cozy Nature! In a little corner of paradise nestled in the Vis valley, I welcome you all year round to cozy tiny houses and cozy chalets to discover the magnificent Cévennes.

Take the time to discover the pages, the photos, and do not hesitate to share yours on the networks with the hashtag #cosynature I take up the words of Jacques Brel and: "I wish you endless dreams and the furious desire to achieve some of them. I wish you to love what must be loved and to forget what that must be forgotten. I wish you passions, I wish you silences. I wish you birdsong when you wake up and the laughter of children. I wish you to respect the differences of others, because merit and the value of each are often to be discovered. I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference and the negative virtues of our time. Finally, I wish you never to give up research, adventure, life, to love, because life is a wonderful adventure and no reasonable person should give it up without fighting a tough battle. Above all, I wish you to be you, proud of it and happy, because happiness is our true destiny." Goodbye Muriel
