Neighborhood highlights

MAS SAINT ESPRIT is situated on a sunny hill above the small medieval town of Largentière near the famous Gorges de l'Ardèche, the Pont d'Arc and the unique 'Grotte Chauvet ' with over 30,000 year old cave paintings, which inspired Werner Herzog to produce the 3-D film ' Cave of Forgotten Dreams '

The Ardèche region offers great diversity for holidays. You can enjoy the calm of untouched nature, attend great cultural events like summer open-air concerts, explore beautiful medieval towns and villages or you can pursue many exiting sports activities like cycling, riding, canoeing, rock climbing, caving and canyoning. All necessary equipment can be hired locally from qualified guides.

My work: Documentary Filmmaker
I'm a Swiss documentary filmmaker best known for filming all the Apple TV+ motorcycle expeditions LONG WAY ROUND, DOWN, UP and HOME with the actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. Many years ago, I also filmed the TV series A PLACE IN FRANCE for the UK TV Channel 4 about restoring an old house in the Department of the Ardeche. Consequently, my wife and I bought a property near Largentière. That's when I discovered Airbnb.
