Lots to see and do |

| So much to do from our gay resort in the South of France |
If your idea of a good holiday is lazing by the pool all day and doing nothing then our gay resort in the South of France is the perfect place to do it. If, on the other hand, you want something else to occupy your time there’s no shortage of possibilities close at hand.
The next page will give you some ideas about what to see. For sports and other activities, as well as the special events we regularly host, then read on. |
| Keep cool or work up a sweat |
Our gay resort in the South of France offers great canoeing on two nearby rivers. The closest, the Cèze, is very sedate and you’re more likely to run aground in summer when the water levels drop than to capsize. Just north of us is the Ardèche, which is used by a lot of adventure holiday companies. There’s white water in places although nothing too difficult even for beginners. There are small gay beaches on both rivers too! |

| Horse riding is popular in the South of France. It can be arranged at a farm fifteen minutes from our gay resort in the South of France. It’s run by a Dutch guy who speaks perfect English and he will cater for all levels of ability. If you want to travel farther afield you can ride the famous white horses of the Camargue. |

|
| The hills around The Lotus Tree are full of marked walking trails. They go from fairly gentle walks to some serious hiking. We can provide maps and advice. |
 |
|
| Some of the most impressive caves in the South of France are fifteen minutes away at Orgnac. This is a ‘site de France’ and they have spent a lot of money making it a very special place to visit. Take warm clothes. |

|
Fifteen minutes in the other direction from our gay resort in the South of France takes you to a beautiful little hilltop village, La Roque-sur-Cèze. Below it are an impressive run of waterfalls.
We have mats for yoga by the pool before breakfast and some free weights for those who can’t leave the gym habit at home. |

Our gay writers and readers workshops have become very popular. In 2008 we will host our sixth writers week, hosted by Patrick Gale.

| Naturists |
TheLotus Tree is always popular with naturists and clothing is optional at all times, although it is normal to wear something at the breakfast table. Our pool and grounds are secluded and the weather is usually ideal. Some of our guests have asked if we could arrange some holiday periods specifivally for naturists. If this would interest you then mention it when you contact us and we can let you know what is planned.

| Cycling |
Atlantic Bike Adventures is a gay run French cycling company with English speaking guides. They will organise custom-made tours of the area from the Lotus Tree.
|
| Yoga |
| We've hosted yoga workshops and holidays for the past four years. In 2008 we are trying something new - naked yoga run by Ryan at www.nakedpoweryoga.co.uk May 1 - 5 with possibly further dates to follow. |
