Stone Sheepfold Bergerie in a 16th Century Farmhouse in France
One of three gites in a beautifully restored 16th century farmhouse next to the hilltop village of Lussan in the heart of the Gard Provencal. It’s an ideal place to gather with friends and family; the three gites can sleep up to twelve people in total and share large grounds and a swimming pool. Or book one gite as a base for exploring medieval villages and the French countryside. This property is part of our holidays in France collection of unique and unusual places to stay.
Mas de la Bousquette is an ideal gathering place for groups as it has several large dining rooms and shared spaces, as well as private spaces to retreat to.
The Mas is next to the pretty hilltop village of Lussan, one of the ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’. The nearest town of Uzes dates back to medieval times. The Saturday morning market in Uzes is very well known, and heaven for foodies. The gites are within an easy drive of Nimes, Montpelier, Marseille and Avignon. The Mediterranean Coast is about 80 minutes by car. For outdoor enthusiasts you’ll find biking, hiking, swimming and canoeing galore - the Cevennes and the Ardeche are both nearby, ideal for outdoor activities, and there are biking and hiking trails directly from your door. History buffs will enjoy all the Roman antiquities which the Gard region has to offer, from the Pont du Gard (20 mins drive) to the Arenas of Nimes; there is no shortage of monuments and museums to visit. There are also fabulous vineyards to visit, potteries, galleries and workshops throughout the area. Restaurants within walking distance plus many more just a short drive away.
