Things to do...
Food :-
The nearest shops are the local Carrefour and petrol station at Vezenobres. This is open on Sunday mornings. Small local shops and bakers are in the next village at Mejannes les Ales approx 5km. Ales is the nearest town (9km or 13min drive) and has a range of shops and restaurants including a large hypermarket (Cora). Closer to the house there is a fabulous restaurant (Auberge des Voutins) which always has a superb menu.

Locally there is a rich cultural history and plenty for those who want to explore. There are multiple historic sites close by including the Market towns of Uzes and Anduze and well as the Roman city museums and amphitheatre at Nimes. The nearby cave systems at Trubuc are fantastic, with regular guided tours.

There are two nearby aerial walkways (high ropes and zip wires) which are great fun for both children and adults. Alternatively canoeing from Collias takes you right underneath the historic Pont de Gard along the river Gard.

The nearest beach is 'La Grande Motte' is just over an hours drive away and is 10km of gently sloping sandy beach with sand dunes. The beach cafes offer excellent food and there is municipal parking next to the dunes.

For the more energetic there is paragliding at Seynes, rafting in the Cevenne and the Ardeche, and a national go-karting track in the nearby town Ales. The local area is great for cycling (both road and offroad) and there is a local horse riding school for those who enjoy riding.

There is a fumade or natural spring spa resort in a town close by. Golf is available at Nimes and Uzes and in the Winter skiing is possible in the Cevennes at Mount Lozere.

For those who prefer to simply chill out and relax the house and surrounding land is completely private and tranquil.

A fabulous pool, nice surroundings and a very helpful owner who was really quick to respond to any question we had. However, there were quite some mishaps during our week. In the description it is stated there is aircondition. This was the worst air conditioner we have ever seen. This needs to be hung out through a window and is extremely noisy and is not doing its job, i.e to cool down the room. We couldn’t get the temperature lower than 24 degrees Celsius and with feverish old parents this was a nightmare. Furthermore, the house is old and not well looked after. Cabinet doors in the kitchen are hanging very loosely and we had several electrical short cuts which made fridges and freezers (and washing machines) stop. To sort this out we needed to call the neighbor many times which was a bit disturbing. Finally, since we are a family who loves to cook and was looking forward to using the grill in the garden it was rather irritating to have to clean it or pay 200 euros to have it cleaned. We left it in a perfectly clean condition but felt this should be included in the somewhat hefty price for this house. All in all, we enjoyed our stay but would hesitate to recommend this house to people we know.

Beautiful and spacious place, incredibly well equipped and furnished with great taste, comfortable and with a lot of attention to details. We were a group of up to 17 adults at times and found everything needed for such a large group. The garden and the poo area are very nice and the also the surroundings are just gorgeous with a su.nny spot throughout the day. I hope we will come back some day

So much more than the summarised description. We kept finding new delightful features that made our holiday so enjoyable and memorable. The location is not easy to find but so well worth it.

Very charming antique house, well maintained, gorgeous pool and garden area with total privacy. Very complete large kitchen ideal for lots of cooking, nice beds and bathrooms. Charming decor... With everything at hand; 3 fridges, from a pizza cutter to a pump for pool toys, very nice ping pong table and outside toys and games, plenty of seating around the yard. Just pack your swimsuit, a good book and off to France... we loved our stay.

Idyllic, luxurious getaway in beautiful location
Idyllic, luxurious getaway in beautiful location
Sixteen members of my family stayed here for a week in July 2019 - 8 kids and 8 adults - and we had the most wonderful time. The house is perfect - beautiful, spacious, comfortable - and the exterior, with the pool, pool house and dining area, just wonderful. We barely felt the need to leave although our day trips to Uzes and Pont du Gard were spectacular. It's a lovely secluded location, peaceful and bucolic. I can't recommend it highly enough. Many thanks to the owner and the helpful manager for making our stay so great.
