The house
The very pleasant terrace where you can have a drink in the lounge area, cook grilled meats on the plancha and share colourful salads around the large convivial table, overlooks the 10m x 5m swimming pool; at the back of the house, you can stay in the shade of the mulberry tree rocked by the lapping of the fish pond.
The house is fully fenced and there are 4 parking spaces. There is a socket to recharge your electric vehicle.
The swimming pool is secure.
2 wooden garden beds near the pool, deckchairs scattered in the shade of the oak trees or near the fish pond, a hammock in the charming little wood invite you to peaceful siestas enlivened by the cicadas, unless the children come to disturb this quietude by playing in the little wooden huts or by jumping in the trampoline.
A ping-pong table, petanque balls and a molky are available to play happily on the petanque field.
In the spacious main room, old and new are combined. The large table can accommodate 8 to 10 people, comfortable sofas around the big screen TV await you to watch all the fibre channels, the WIFI works well.
On chilly autumn evenings, when you return from the "Médiévales d'Uzès", from a literary walk or from a guided discovery of the village bell towers, a flambé in the fireplace will be welcome while nibbling on the Cévennes chestnuts.
You have unlimited telephone calls to Europe, the United States, Canada...

Reviews
Anne Hayward from Cardiff,
We stayed for 10 days at end of august/early September. This was a holiday for family with 3 generations and the accommodation worked very well allowing my husband and myself the annex with the younger families using the main house. The facilities for cooking and eating both inside and out on the terrace are excellent. The pool was a firm favourite, and a good size for our group. The garden area with zip wire was fun for the children. We loved the local village, visiting uzes and the pont du gard. Shopping and eating out all very convenient. We would like to visit again. The owners have been very helpful and friendly.
Marquis Camille from Chamborigaud,
Superbe maison très agréable, conviviale et fonctionnelle. Les chambre sont spacieuses, le salon-cuisine également, bien agencé. Le studio près de la piscine est un vrai plus. Le jardin et ses jeux pour enfants a été bien apprécié, et bien sûr la grande piscine a été salvatrice pendant ces jours de grosse chaleur. Rien à redire, nous avons passé une excellente semaine, les propriétaires ont été accueillants et à l'écoute. Un bonheur!!!
isabelle ternois from Hautefeuille,

Restaurants, food & wine
FOR GOURMETS:
The owners of the olive grove near the house produce a wonderful oil, they are keen to work with the mill as in the past to gently crush the olives with a millstone.
The producers' market in St Quentin la Poterie offers a multitude of excellent products all year round, they come from the nearby Lozère, the Cévennes, the Etang de Thau or from all the small villages of the Uzège to introduce you to bread made from the cereals in their fields, the meat of bulls raised on the manade, the foie gras of the duck breeder, the small extra fresh goat cheeses succulent with a few drops of thyme syrup from Mont Bouquet, the truffles, the wines, the asparagus, it is a great happiness for the gourmets.
Different cellars organise gourmet walks, this year, the gastronomic walk Le Vin Côté Cours started in Blauzac, continued in the vineyards and up to the famous site of Les Capitelles.
At each stage, you will discover a new dish, from the appetizer to the dessert. This year, the starred chef Jérôme Nutile has concocted recipes around the white truffle.
Gastronomic and oenological discoveries, heritage and know-how of our region, all your senses will be awakened for this most delicious day.

The ESPIGUETTE BEACH, located south of PORT-CAMARGUE, and the seaquarium are very pleasant day trips. In CAMARGUE, emotion and sensations are guaranteed for an original journey to the rhythm of traditional music and a gourmet stop at a bull breeder's or from a unique panoramic site with 6 specialities and local wines.

Further remarks
At the bottom of the garden we have a large aviary with different varieties of pigeons that flutter around some pullets. We like to give them our peelings, in exchange they give us good fresh eggs. Grain and water are nearby to give them if you wish, and if this is a problem for you, our neighbours will come without difficulty.
