our region We feel very lucky to be living in this part of France and after many years of restoring our home, we have opened it up to a small number of paying guests. I am English and Michel is French and he is also a great cook. This area is wonderful for those who love to walk, cycle, paint, canoe, swim, shop or partake of the local culinary delights. Hill villages, châteaux and vineyards cover the landscape. We are an hour from the Camargue, the Ardeche and the Cevennes. The medieval walled city of Avignon is nearby as are Orange, Nîmes and Arles with their remarkably preserved remains. Ten minutes away is the beautiful city of Uzès, an ancient Duchy, much of which was built in the 15th and 16th century or earlier. With its teeming sidewalk cafés, restaurants and shops, it hosts a Saturday market that must be amongst the most colourful and picturesque in Europe. Discover les Gorges du Gardon. Why not take a canoe from Russan to the Pont du Gard, 30km of beautiful wilderness accessible by canoe or kayak. You can rent your own canoe and discover without any danger the marvellous river. The hire includes all organisation and provdes the necessary floating jackets and waterproof containers for your lunch. When you have organised your journey, you will be met by a transfer bus to take you back to your starting point. Our home
"Les Marroniers" is situated in a small village
called La Bruguière. It is a charming place to walk in
and around just enjoying the views and practising your
French with the locals playing pétanque in the shaded
area outside the house. Les Marroniers is
a 19th century (1812) Maison de Maitre We have only been taking paying guests since Easter 98. We have so far received: Three Keys (stars) rating from the Conseil General de Gard Tourisme. Four Suns (stars) rating from the Association Française B&B France. Three Stars rating from the Fleurs de Soleil, Association des Maisons D'Amis en France. Offering a haven away from large hotels, we open our doors to only eight people (plus an occasional house guest or two). There are four double rooms, each of which is decorated differently in French country style. All have tea and coffee making facilities, TV, video, CD and radio and private bath or shower and WC, as well as high quality beds and linen. One room has satellite TV and we have a good library of English language movies. Bedroom 1 has a double bed and shower and tea and coffee making facilities. Bedroom 2 has twin beds, a radio and a double shower.
Bedroom 3 has twin beds, separate bath and shower and satellite TV. Bedroom 4 has a double bed, radio, shower and direct access to the heated swimming pool.
The house has central heating, so it's very comfortable throughout the year. The weather for the grape harvest in autumn is usually beautiful. The winters are frequently sunny and mild for the truffle fairs and the spring is fresh and green for the fruit blossoms. These are all great days for the leisurely lunch and maybe an extra glass or two of the local wine. Continental
breakfast is served by the pool or under the chestnuts in
the forecourt, a gentle way to clear your head whilst
planning the day's activities. Maybe you'll want to relax
by the pool or take off on a picnic on the banks of the
many nearby rivers or perhaps visit some of the places of
historic or cultural interest. If after a long day out
you wish for an evening in, we can provide a meal. Just
let us Evening meals are four courses with wine, apéritif and coffee. Depending on the weather you can either eat outside in the shade of the marroniers, or alternatively in the spacious guests' dining area. Outside, there is
a good sized swimming pool set in a lawn surrounded by
flowering shrubs and plants. Ample garden furniture
provides poolside seating under the old fig tree. All Prices in Euros
