Planned sleeping capacity: 3. CABIN OCCUPIED BY SHEPHERDS DURING THE SUMMER GRAZING SEASON!!! Thanks to Alex for this report!: As of March 2025, the cabin is open again. There are two buildings: - The summer cabin, which is generally in good condition. It is used by a shepherd in season. According to our information, work is planned to make it more livable (in spring 2023?). On arrival, we found the cabin turned upside down, with rodent droppings covering the floor. After cleaning and tidying, the cabin proved comfortable. The roof is fairly recent. There is insulation in the ceiling (attic floor, accessible from outside). Both windows are well insulated and the double door blocks most draughts. It has been completely renovated and enlarged. A room has been added that serves as a bedroom and bathroom. Equipment: 1 double slatted mattress. 1 stove (the old clover-shaped one has been kept). There is a table and chairs (3), some cutlery, a frying pan in fair condition. - The storage cabin, used by shepherds for storage. It's in its original state. Old roof, no floor, no door, no window. In short, open to the four winds. Pastoral tracks from the Ubaye. Pastoral cooperative
