The Mas is ideally located in the Gard between the wine regions of Languedoc-Roussillon and the Rhone Valley with easy access to major attractions in and around Provence. Situated in the tranquil countryside on the outskirts of the village of Deaux (population a little over 400 plus a few really cute kitty cats). And approximately one and half miles away is Vezenobres, a beautiful medieval hilltop village with several excellent restaurants. A lovely place to go for a relaxing lunch or a romantic dinner. Nearby is Ales where you will find a large supermarket and additional restaurants and other services. Uzes, designated one of France’s 50 villes d’art in 1962, is a mere 20 minute drive away. Every Saturday there is a large market held in one of the loveliest town squares in southern France, Place aux Herbes. Protected from the sun by trees dotted around the square. A large fountain in the center. And several restaurants under the arcades. In other words, the perfect setting for doing your shopping in the morning and having a leisurely lunch in the afternoon. You can find just about anything from pottery to the famous Provence linens to fresh poultry, meats, fish, fresh spices and produce. The market overflows into neighboring streets. A smaller local market is held on Wednesdays. You can spend an afternoon strolling around the the town admiring the splendid architecture. For those who love pottery and for those who just love enchanting villages head north of Uzes... about 2 miles... and you will come to St-Quentin-la-Poterie.
