Mercantour National Park
Refuge de la Coquille

This charming refuge, open all year round, hidden in the greenery of the hamlet of La Coquille will seduce you at first sight. Committed to an eco-responsible approach, your hosts will offer you a generous and gourmet cuisine, directly fed by the vegetable garden!

Whether you're a hiker or a walker looking for a place that combines authenticity, simplicity and comfort, or you're attracted by our beautiful Mercantour mountains with their soft Mediterranean and Alpine tones, you've come to the right place!

At an altitude of 1732 m, at the foot of the Mercantour National Park in the Haut-Var valley (2 h from Nice), you'll discover a wild and unspoilt natural environment.

Fan, Robert and their two children, who came to nest in Estenc in the 80's, will revive the entire neighborhood of stone and wood(Estenc "acqui li sien ben li estenc"...)

Robert, a mountain singer and musician, fell in love with this unique place. With his passion for wide open spaces, freedom and music, he'll captivate you with his thousand "sounds and stories".

Fan's father "gave" her the mountain bug as a child. She looks after him well at Estenc, alternating between the art of cooking and Traditional Chinese Energy. For 25 years she managed the Refuge de la Cayolle in the Mercantour National Park, building up a wealth of experience.

"Eager to promote eco-responsible tourism and to share the wild nature of the Mercantour Massif as well as a place to live, we have made simple, easy-to-implement commitments that we put into practice on a daily basis to preserve the fragility of our environment through the small, simple gestures that we also expect from our visitors."

Special attention is paid to your taste buds and eyes throughgenerous gourmet cuisine. From June to September, a sumptuous kitchen garden generously contributes to the elaboration of brightly colored salads, jardinières of early vegetables, each fresher than the last: new potatoes, green beans, cabbages of all kinds, carrots, peas... not forgetting the nettles, sorrels, wild spinach and dandelions that adorn the delicious rabbit, poultry, beef and specialties cooked for a long time in the ovens.

Features:

* 3 en-suite bedrooms and 1 7-place dormitory

* Spacious living area for sharing meals, games or workshops

* Pleasant terrace or solarium offering breathtaking views over the valley and the Aiguilles de Pélens mountains
