The hamlet 'La Fromagère' is situated at 1000m altitude and consists of no more than 6 houses. The gîte is one of those houses on half a hectare of land, on the edge of the hamlet. Just like the gîte called 'La Dame d'en Face', this gîte 'La Fromagere', is part of the hamlet. Both detached gîtes are next to each other. The gardens of the gîtes are on both sides of the houses, so it is completely private and quiet. From the garden one has a view on the impressive mountains with the village Pommerol built high on a mountain. Around the house one sees the rough nature of the Haute-Alpes. Flora and fauna in abundance such as thyme, lavender, chamois, deer, badgers, wild boar and a vulture colony at 20km distance. An ideal area for nature lovers.
There are dozens of walking, cycling and mountain biking routes in the area. Rosans, a medieval village with a castle dating from the 11th century, is 10 km from La Fromagère. The colourful lavender and sunflower fields, the mountain streams and the spectacular gorges make this area unforgettable.

Reviews
Janet from Voorhout,
Unieke plek, het uitzicht is inderdaad zoals op de foto adembenemend. De plek en hele streek is heel rustig, ondanks dat het zo mooi is dus genieten voor liefhebbers van deze zaken. De tijd heeft hier stil gestaan. A la campagne, echt heel landelijk, zo is ook het huis, wel wat gedateerd qua inrichting en verzorging maar wat ons betreft een aanrader.
Mark from Rosmalen,
Wat een geweldig fijn huis! Het huis, de inrichting, de ligging en de rust zijn uniek! Ik heb al veel huizen gehuurd in mijn leven maar dit is een van de mooiste plekken tot nu toe. Rust, wandelen, fietsen... alles vanuit het huis te doen. De Drome provencale is een prachtige streek met mooie natuur en heerlijke slaperige dorpjes. Hier komen we zeker terug!
Lily from De Lier,
Wat een heerlijke vakantie in een fijn en vooral compleet ingericht huis op een zalige rustige mooie lokatie.
De gite is inderdaad veel ruimer als de foto's doen vermoeden, ook staat de master badkamer niet op de foto's. De omgeving is hier zo mooi, en zo rustig, en het weer lijkt hier wel altijd goed te zijn. Je moet wel even wat verder zoeken naar winkeltjes; veel lokale bakkertjes en kruideniertjes zijn helaas verdwenen - maar even een ritje door de bergen voor wat boodschapjes is daar zeker geen straf! Ik wens de volgende gasten net zo'n fijne vakantie als wij hebben gehad! Dit jaar (2017) vertoeven wij in Bretagne, maar deze plek staat zeker op ons verlanglijstje om nog eens te bezoeken.
Restaurants, food & wine
There are beautiful old villages and towns to visit in the vicinity of La Fromagère.
On the village square of the medieval village of Rosans (10km) you will find a restaurant/café, grocery shop and bakery. Further down the road, in Verclause (13km), you will find a larger supermarket. In La Motte Chalancon (13km) and Remuzat (22km) you will also find supermarkets and several restaurants. Die (45km) is a historic town, famous for its 'Clairette de Die' wine.
Picodon' is a goat cheese from the Drôme. In Dieulefit, about an hour's drive away, there is the Fêtes du Picodon on the second Sunday in August. Gap, Valence and the nougat city Montélimar are larger cities and also very much worth visiting. When you drive south, you will soon find yourself in the heart of wine regions such as Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nyons, 45 minutes drive from La Fromagere has a medieval town centre and a Roman bridge 'Pont Roman' over the river Eygues. Nyons is the centre of olive production, the market on Thursday mornings is very well known in the region with the many local products such as olive oil, honey, cheese, lavender etc..

Walking, cycling and mountain biking
Directly from the house, in the mountains and the forests, but also in the surrounding area, along the many vineyards and lavender fields, there are beautiful trips to walk and cycle.

At 10km distance, near the villages Rosans and La Motte Chalencon, there are two lakes (Plans d'eau) with at least a small beach. The many rivers also offer cooling.
