Our new villa is situated beside the medieval walled town of Aigues Mortes in the western Camargue region of Gard. The accommodation comprises a downstairs living/dining area with a fully equipped kitchen corner, ample seating for four people,stairs to the bedrooms, french doors to the patio and a downstairs toilet. We have French and English satellite TV and radio. There is an extra fold-out bed under the stairs. Outside there is a fenced patio/garden with barbecue and private gate. There is a storage shed which houses the washing machine. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.
The development is secured by locked gates and there is a lovely pool for the exclusive use of the residents. There is private parking.
The town of Aigues Mortes is just five minutes over the canal bridge from the villa. In this wonderful ancient walled town is a great variety of shops and restaurants. You can walk around the walls and see from there the unique salt flats beyond the town where for hundreds of years the famous "sel de Mer" has been collected. The town is the main centre for the Western Camargue, a unique area of France famous for its wild white horses, flocks of pink flamingoes and herds of black bulls. Add to that the huge open skies, the miles of safe beaches just five kms away, golf courses, vineyards by the acre ("vin du Sable")and of course wonderful sunshine, and you have a recipe for a perfect holiday. (oh and don't forget the walking and cycling as well!)
There are several nearby airports to make travel to the area easy. Montpelier, Nimes, Perpignon, Toulouse, Marseilles, take your pick. The French autoroute system makes journeys by road easy and fast.
