Yes. We have our own car park away from the road for security where all guests can park their cars.

Yes. There is a bus from central Avignon and Avignon TGV train station direct to The Lotus Tree. It runs once daily Mon-Fri, departing the TGV station around 1440; its destination is Aubenas. The journey to Montclus takes around an hour. In July and August there are two buses Monday-Saturday and one on Sunday. The first bus leaves Avignon TGV at about 1250 with a second one around 1905 but this one does not run on Sundays.

Yes. We can usually organise a pick-up if required. From Avignon TGV station (45 minutes away) it costs €60,00 each way. From Nimes Airport (an hour) it cost €70,00. You can expect to pay at least half as much again for a regular taxi. For other airports please ask us.

Cars can be hired at all the airports close to us and at Avignon TGV train station. We always recommend that our guests hire a car if they do not bring their own. We are in a rural location and you will need a car to see the area properly and to get to most of the restaurants. Try www.hertz.com, www.avis.com, www.europcar.com and www.budget.com to find the best prices.

Yes. The Lotus Tree is clothing optional. That means that you are free to be naked but you don't have to be. Most guys sunbathe by the pool naked - some prefer to keep swimming trunks on. Naked or not, it's up to you, but nobody is made to feel uncomfortable either way. Our grounds are very secluded so being naked at The Lotus Tree is not a problem.

Yes. There are two gay naturist areas/beaches on the Cèze river close to The Lotus Tree.

The Lotus Tree is a very laid-back, relaxed environment. It's not Ibiza or Sitges which is why people come here. Of course sex isn't banned but you shouldn't expect a highly sexual atmosphere.

Yes. All guests with their own laptops have free access to our wireless network.

Yes. All rooms have televisions with English and French-language television channels.

Yes, of course. Single guys are very welcome and we have a special single rate of €65,00 euro a night all season. There are usually more couples than single guys but there is generally a mixture.

No. The rooms have thick stone walls that keep them cool in summer. All rooms have fans. Heat is rarely a problem in the rooms unless we have a severe heat-wave.

We have an honesty bar where you can help yourself to wine, beer and soft drinks and sign for what you take. You simply clear your bill when you check out.

Yes. There are lots of restaurants within a short drive of The Lotus Tree. They are at all prices from the very economical to haute cuisine. We will give you a full list when you arrive. Only one or two places are accessible by foot, however.

All the rooms are non-smoking but you are free to smoke outside if you wish. Please don't leave cigarette butts on the ground and be careful as the grass is very dry in summer. Smoking is not permitted at breakfast.

No. The nearest bars, clubs and saunas are in Avignon and Nîmes. If you need to go clubbing regularly to enjoy your holiday then we are probably not the place for you.
