The house
The ancient Château du Fraissinet was registered in 1640 as a fortified farm presided over by a Seigneur. Today the château has six independent gites offering attractive holiday accommodation. Les Tilleuls (shown) is one of our delightful family gites. It features a large living area with a comfortable sofa, a dining table and a fully-equipped kitchen area. French doors lead out to a raised wooden terrace with views across the garden and into the chestnut woods.There is also an outside dining table, chairs and parasol.
The two bedrooms are downstairs and stay nice and cool for a goods night's sleep - even in the hottest weather. The main bedroom is stone vaulted and is on the lower floor with a small window and a door out into the courtyard. The family bedroom is on the middle floor. This room had a large window and a separate wc with wash hand basin. This gite works really well for families or two couples sharing.

Reviews
Emma from Rijswijk,
Wij (gezin met twee kinderen van 10 en 11 jaar oud) hebben een heerlijke week vakantie gehad in Chateau Fraissinet. Het landgoed is prachtig en biedt volop ruimte en rust. Ons Chateau Appartement was van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zwembad was heerlijk warm en in de directe omgeving (1 minuut met de auto) ligt een meer waar je kunt zwemmen, waterfietsen, suppen, enz. Chris & Alison zijn uitstekende hosts! Wij hebben ons prima vermaakt.
Muggen/insecten zijn wel een dingetje (maar dat is overal in Zuid-Frankrijk): neem genoeg anti-prik/-jeuk sprays mee en klamboes die gemakkelijk te bevestigen zijn (in de plafonds zitten geen haken oid). In de nachten kan het warm zijn, dus ventilatoren meenemen is ook raadzaam.inkie struijk from Bemelen,
Hele fijne plek om te relaxen en midden in de natuur te zijn. Van alles te doen in de buurt. Heerlijk zwembad en fijne sfeer. Genoeg privacy. We zaten er met 3 kinderen, super vakantie gehad!
M Ariens from Lierop,
Hele fijne en serene plek omgeven door natuur om tot rust te komen. Fijn zwembad om een dag in af te sluiten. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding, ruim appartement met alle voorzieningen. Genoeg te doen in de omgeving zij het wel op rijafstand. In de korte nabijheid bevindt zich ook een laadstation voor je electrische auto. Alison en Chris zijn zeer vriendelijke gast dame/heer alsmede kater Scout die regelmatig ons een bezoekje bracht.

Restaurants, food & wine
Our local 'Auberge du Fraissinet' is just a 300m walk along the river bank. There is also a local bar at the top of the lane and a small campsite opposite which has a snack bar. There are several other restaurants close by which serve good local cuisine.
There is an excellent twice weekly market in the nearby town which sells local produce including honey and pelardon - goats cheese - which is a regional speciality.
Activities
Chateau du Fraissinet is close (2km) to the lac Camboux where you can fish, swim, hire a kayak and pedalo. You can also swim, paddle and fish in the river Gardon which borders the property. Alison is a qualified yoga teacher and there are weekly yoga sessions in high season. Within easy reach (30 - 45 mins) are the Ardeche, Tarn and Ceze rivers where you can also kayak. There are several stunning caves to visit as well as the historic towns of Nimes, Montpellier, Avignon and Uzes. The iconic Roman Pont du Gard is also nearby. Just a short drive away (30mins) we also have a choice of Forest parks, where kids and adults can test their nerve on zip wires and rope works.
We are also just 90 minutes away from the Mediterranean sea with the beaches of l'Espiguette and le Grau du Roi being popular day trips for our guests.
There are lots of walks locally with the Cevennes National Park beginning at the edge of the property.

Further remarks
Chateau du Fraissinet is a perfect place for a family holiday. There is a fantastic low-chlorine pool with a shallower pool and a 'stream' for small children to play in. Lots of space (2 hectares) for children to play and explore, and a river running along the property for fishing, swimming, paddling or inflatable boats.

Filled with natural spring water the BIO UVC pool is a massive hit with holidaymakers of all ages. The pool utilises the latest technology in water purification treatment to keep chemical use to an absolute minimum. A 75w Bio-UVC Germicidal Lamp is used which kills harmful biological contaminants much more effectively than any other known treatment. This works together with low levels of chlorine and chemicals to keep the pool looking its best. The pool area is gated and fenced. Main pool measures 12m x 5m x 1.4m. There is a shallow splash pool for small children and a spa pool. The large surface area of the shallow pools and connecting channel helps heat and regulate the water temperature. Sun loungers and chairs are provided.
