Yes there are two parking bays, one immediately outside the garage door and another just opposite. There are also three common bays three doors up opposite the church. Having said that the access road up to the top of the village where our house is located is quite narrow and you may not feel comfortable driving up. Normally we suggest that clients use Nadia, who will meet you in the village, drive you and your bags up to the house. You can then decide whether you are happy to drive yourself or park in the town square. The town square is only a short walk from the house and a high percentage of our clients park there without any problems.

The village although small has a really good range of shops. There is of course the Bar de Sports a great place to sit in the shade of the umbrellas with a cold beer, a glass of wine, or a coffee and watch the world go by, albeit quite slowly. The supermarket has recently come under new management and now has a very good range of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, wine, cold meets and fresh milk. We have two bakeries, the smell of fresh baked croissant and other delicacies in the morning is one of the delights of being in France. We also have a butcher, a crapery, two haidressers, a wood fired pizza bar and a restuarant all in the village square.

Yes we have a private pool on the property.

The Bar de Sports serves lunch every day and in the peak season dinner at night. Les Ramparts is a good quality restaurant in the village square. If you are after fine dining Les Abeilles is just at the bottom of the hill. Your hosts Johannes and Marlise will make sure have a wonderful meal, some of the best I have ever eaten. Being France there are also an abundance of restuarants in all the neighbouring towns. I am sure you will run out of time before you run out of places to eat.

Hiking in the Dentelles, the range of hills just behind the village. The options range from walking to nearby Seguret a few kilometers to really serious hiking. There are walking tracks throughout and the views can be spectacular. Look up the things to on this website.
Bike Riding - the options are endless. A few suggested routes are on the bicycle touring page.

Roman Ruins at Vaison La Romaine, Orange, Nimes and of course Pont du Gard.
