We are on the traces of the Roman aqueduct, which leads from our Medieval city of Uzès to the famous Pont Du Gard and to imperator Augustus’ capital “nemausus”, nowadays called Nimes. A walking path leading through pure nature passes directly in front of our house following these still visible traces of historical vestiges. Our region is a famous holiday destination, which is rich in history, traditions and delicious food. In fact, the Pont du Gard and its river banks of Gardon have been classified by UNESCO world heritage. Furthermore, the city of Uzès has preserved its authentic medieval character and become an insider tip amongst France connoisseurs, who search for authentic French rural life style in a natural and rich cultural layout. Since we are deeply grounded on Roman heritage, we naturally apply ancient values and wellness procedures. As such, we only work with local organic products, such as clay, sea salt, Mediterranean pine nut -, olive -, and grape seat oil, grenadine extract. Additionally, we also use locally produced, precious donkey milk or even snail slime products from the nearby Cevennes mountain region. We thus use ingredients from the ages of time!

All of these combined create our very special Roman atmosphere, which culminates on our Roman terrace, where you can have a tea next to its aromatic herbs garden with water spring and elevated garden view.
