  Descripción

  Welcome to our house Bienvenue chez nous.
  
  We are renovating a garden destroyed by a forest fire. Our home is in the South of France in the Cévennes national park with beautiful views across the mountains and into the national park. There's a pool to enjoy, local shops and bars are a 20 minute walk away in this rural setting. We plan to replant the garden while it is a little cooler, using bee-friendly native species, aiming to get a cottage garden and beehives set up in the spring The local train station is Alès en Cévennes, in the Gard or Chamborigaud in the Lozère.
  
  Nous rénovons un jardin détruit par un incendie de forêt. Notre maison est dans le sud de la France dans le parc national des Cévennes avec de belles vues sur les montagnes et dans le parc national. Il y a une piscine pour profiter, des magasins locaux et des bars sont à 20 minutes à pied dans ce cadre rural. Nous prévoyons de replanter le jardin pendant qu'il fait un peu plus frais, en utilisant des espèces indigènes favorables aux abeilles, dans le but d'installer un jardin de curé et des ruches au printemps La gare locale est Alès en Cévennes, dans le Gard ou Chamborigaud en Lozère .
