For Rent: Les Deux Cypres in Sanilhac (just outside Uzes)

Sleeps 6 plus child

Les Deux Cypres is characterful and charming 18th century stone village house near Uzès.

Located in the old village of Sanilhac close to the gorges of La Baume on the river Gardon, 8 kms upstream from the famous Roman Aqueduct "Pont du Gard" and 7 kms from Uzès, Nimes and Avignon 30 minutes drive, beaches 50 minutes.

Sanilhac is a typical southern French village and has an excellent boulangerie with its own coffee shop/saladerie, a further restaurant/bar and its own winery. It is surrounded by vineyards/fruit orchards and asparagus fields. Walk through the protected garrigues, where fragrant blends of lavender, rockrose, rosemary, thyme and honeysuckle surround you and watch the circling Bonelli eagle high above the gorges. Continue down the gorge to La Baume to a wonderful secret beach on the river Gardon for swimming in the crystal clear waters. The site of la Baume St. Vérédeme is an ancient hermit dwelling, carved into a natural tunnel in which is ensconced a tiny chapel. For kayaking, canoeing and river swimming at nearby Collias, see website: http://www.euroriviere.com/gardon/indexa.html
