About the home

Come and enjoy the beautifully decorated gîte (guest cottage) in our mas (provencal countryside property), in the middle of the vineyards and fields.

You will feel comfortable in the large but cosy studio (37 square metres) with a very nice newly refurbished kitchen area and a big double bed.

The outdoor area offers deck chairs with cushions and a terrace where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner or simply relax after a day out discovering the region. There are no other houses around to block the view towards Mont Bouquet and the Cévennes: the sunsets are wonderful !

If you feel like a dip, you will be welcome to use our swimming-pool. It is large enough to have a swim (9m x 4m) and you will enjoy the chirping of the birds who dwell in our garden. If you are lucky enough, you might even catch a glimpse of one of the green lizards who like to sunbathe near the cistus bushes covered with purple flowers in spring.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Gard region

With its long tradition of agriculture and winemaking, the Gard département can always offer you a good meal.

From your gite, ideally located in the middle of the Gard, you will feel free to explore the very different types of wonderful landscapes, the beautiful villages and Roman buildings it offers. From the preserved Cévennes mountains,
through the rough Garrigues hills, across the natural reservation in Camargue to the sandy beaches of the Lion Gulf, you will always feel thrilled.

Whether you fancy a sporty holiday , a Roman heritage trip or a quiet "French way of life" break, you will find that the area is so rich that it is the perfect spot for any of these get-aways.

The Uzes / Blauzac area

Only ten minutes from the Mas, Uzès, near the border of Provence, proudly recalls its episcopal, consular and ducal past with its castle and lavish town houses. You will be able to enjoy this unique city which is both historic and lively especially on Saturday or Wednesday mornings, our market days. No wonder so many artists have chosen to settle here !

Our village, Blauzac, is a small authentic place with its picturesque old narrow streets, its Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, its castle and fountain but its secret treasure is the "trois cabanes": three stone capitelles built together in the heart of a green oak tree wood. You may also appreciate its two little restaurants.

The world-famous Roman aquaduct, the Pont du Gard, is only 15 minutes from Blauzac. It runs across the Gardon River, on which one can travel by canoeand make many enticing discoveries amidst the wild Gorges.

20 minutes from Blauzac is the wonderful city of Nîmes, with its Roman monuments (the Arena, the Tour Magne in the middle of the beautiful Jardins de la Fontaine ). Nîmes is also well known for its feria (festival with street bands, bull fights, balls..) but all the villages around Nîmes have their own "encierros" and "abrivados" throughout spring and summer, in which white horses and black cows are the stars: Camargue horses (local little white horses) are ridden by "manadiers" (local cowboys) to lead a small herd of black cows through the streets.

And if you don't mind spending one hour driving you can also easily discover many other beautiful, interesting places such as Avignon with its famous bridge and the Palais des Papes, Arles, Aigues Mortes: the city within medieval remparts and its Salt Marshes or the Ornithologic Park of Pont de Gau where wild flamingoes can be observed as if they were domesticated !

“Perfect peaceful retreat for 2” Perfect 2 person gite with garden out in the country near Blauzac, also with use of the swimming pool on the property. Owners are on site, very knowledgeable and very helpful; their children are a delight and very well behaved. Property is spotless and well maintained, and has everything you need. Local area has lots to do; historic sites, wine tasting galore, markets, walks, cycling and Pont du Gard day and evening. Avignon, Nimes, Uzes, Aix etc. are all within 90 minutes by car. Blauzac (walkable) has 2 excellent restaurants which do wonderful cheap lunches! You can do as little or as much as you want without any stress whatsoever. We love this place!

“Blissful, rural retreat a stone's throw from Roman delights” This tranquil and beautiful rural location is near many major tourist attractions and wonderful towns and villages. There is plenty of sightseeing, especially of the Roman architecture at Nimes, Orange and the Pont du Gard. Local markets are colourful and eating out in beautiful village squares on warm evenings an absolute must. The owners live on site and are very kind and attentive, doing whatever they can to ensure your stay is a pleasure in every sense, but leaving you to enjoy your stay. The place is immaculate - and you have to leave it the same way. The views from the patio across the fields were amazing. Least favourite bit was the electric loo! (It worked fine but one has to exercise a certain amount of caution!!)

“Excellent accommodation for two with very friendly family in beautiful part of France.” Mas de Font Dame is in a very peaceful attarctive rural setting. The family are very welcoming and charming and their excellent English is an asset. The accommodation is of a high standard and offers first-class value for two people. The area offers many attractions, easily accessible if you have your own transport. Although we have visited this beautiful area many times, we only discovered Mas de Font Dame three years ago and have been back every year since. then.

“Wonderful accommodations and excellent hosts” This was a beautiful rural location in the South of France. The site was very quiet which we like but was conveniently near many area attractions. We made day trips from the gite and were assisted with ideas and directions by our hosts and their family. They could not have been friendlier. It helped us in that Christine and her young son are fluent in English. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

“A delightful gite in beautiful countryside!” This was the most spotless, well-equipped gite we have stayed in in over 20 years! The owners are delightful people, who have thought of everything. Oh the bliss of linen sheets during hot, summer nights! The pool is lovely and beautifully kept and there are views of rolling countryside and distant mountains from the patio of the gite. Nimes, Uzes and the Pont du Gard to name just the obvious sites are all within easy reach. All in all a real treat!

“Wonderful Time” The gite was lovely, clean, comfortable and private. The location was quiet but within walking distance of the village. For cafes, shops and restaurants Uzes was just a 10 minute drive away. Alain & Christine were wonderful, as we had no transport they were happy to collect and return us to the airport and should we have required further help one of them was usually on hand but they never intruded. Mas de Font Dame comes highly recommended from myself and my husband.

“Excellent location and an excellent host.” We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Mas de Font Dame. The facilities were good, the location excellent and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The only comment would be that although we had a map, finding the property was difficult. Even people in the nearby village did not know where it was. Written directions would have been a great help.

“Superb” Superb location, lovely friendly, helpful hosts. Excellent gite and pool. Would recommend to anyone who wants a quiet, peaceful holiday amongst the vineyards.
