Mas de la Roche: a spa that is carved off the rock

A construction discovered after years of research by Michèle and Pierre Mézin. Gifted with a real talent for construction, Pierre had already renovated a sheepfold by himself when he was still a ski patrolman at the Deux-Alpes. Thus it was very natural for him to pick up the nails and hammer again to build a cosy nest for himself. He added up four guestrooms and a spa with massage jets that he carved off the rock.

The dining is also well worth a try with, among the guests of honour, lamb and home-grown vegetables, figs gratin and even polenta rabbit in memory of the days spent in the mountains. If you still have time on your hands for going out, don't hesitate to go explore the area where romantic castles and typical villages await you.
