Les Ferres: Holiday Apartments and Houses

Les Ferres is situated in a heavily rugged mid-mountain landscape on the southern slope of Mont Saint-Michel. The area rises to an altitude of 1,270 m at the Crête de la Perrière and descends to the Estéron at 235 m. A plane-tree-lined terrace in Les Ferres offers views across the Estéron Valley to the peaks of Mercantour.

Renting a holiday apartment in Les Ferres can be part of your personal travel planning.
