La Randonnée

Nestled in the village of Moudeyres, in the heart of the Mézenc massif in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, La Randonnée is a characterful cottage offering large groups a natural and unspoilt setting at over 1,100 metres above sea level.

With 10 bedrooms and a total capacity of 24 guests, the cottage is sized to comfortably accommodate large family gatherings, group holidays with friends, or group retreats. The shared living spaces allow the whole group to come together in one place for meals, evenings, or downtime, while the layout of the bedrooms still gives each smaller group a degree of privacy. This configuration makes La Randonnée a suitable base for both short breaks and full week-long stays.

In terms of facilities, the cottage meets the practical demands of a multi-day group stay. The dishwasher and washing machine simplify day-to-day logistics — a real advantage for large groups over an extended period. The fireplace creates a warm atmosphere on cool evenings, which are common at this altitude, while the barbecue makes outdoor dining possible whenever the weather allows. Wi-Fi is available on site, and a selection of games is on hand to keep the group entertained indoors.

Moudeyres is a village of character, instantly recognisable by its thatched-roof houses typical of the Velay region. Set within a remarkable natural environment, it serves as an ideal starting point for hiking — the activity that gave the cottage its name. The Mézenc area offers numerous waymarked trails through volcanic landscapes and forested hills, suited to a range of ability levels. More broadly, the region provides an ideal setting for disconnecting and recharging in the great outdoors, for groups in search of fresh air and authenticity.
