2 Bedroom Villa in Uzes

Welcome to Villa des Carrières – our home in Vers-Pont-du-Gard. 
 
Our two bedroom, one-level villa is ideally situated on the edge of a charming village in the shadow of that most famous of Roman aqueducts – the Pont-du-Gard. The old quarries (carrières) that supplied stone for the Roman structures in our area are just a short walk from our front door, as is the village bakery, bar, tabac, pizzeria and gourmet table d'hôte restaurant. 
 
We are 11 kilometres from the beautiful medieval town of Uzès, with its cafes and restaurants, Ducal Palace and colourful weekly markets at the Place aux Herbes. We are 25 minutes from Avignon and Nîmes, and just over an hour from the delightful coastal towns of Aigues-Mortes and Grau du Roi. 
 
If it’s beach that you are looking for La Grande Motte (reputed to be the best beach on the French Mediterranean) is also just about an hour’s drive away. The beach at Grau du Roi is smaller but also very fine, with all the services of the town close at hand. But with our pool and patio you can also just sit back and laze the days away at home. 
 
With outstanding wine and 300 days of sunshine a year in our region of France, life is good.
