Accommodation to suit your needs

Staying here will leave you relaxed and refreshed. It's a promise.
In our garden of over 4000 square metres you can enjoy al fresco dining, just relax, soak up the Southern French sunshine and refresh yourself in the pool. You can also enjoy a cookout with friends and family on our barbecue.
Or, how about an impromptu picnic on the banks of the Gardon? Just 600 metres from the house is a secluded access taking you down to the river where you can chill and relax.
If you prefer to be out and about, you can use the Orangerie as a base to explore the unique region of Languedoc Roussillon on foot, by bike or by car.
