Continental
breakfast is served in the dining room or under the chestnuts in the front
court: a gentle way to clear your head while planning the days activities.
Maybe
you'll want to relax by the pool or take off on a picnic on the banks of
one of the many nearby rivers or perhaps visiting some of the places of
historic or cultural interest. If after a long day out you wish an
evening in we can provide a meal. Just let us know early in the morning.
The
house has central heating so it's very comfortable throughout the year.
The weather for the grape harvest in autumn is usually beautiful.
The
winters are frequently sunny and mild for the truffle fairs and the spring
is fresh and green for the fruit blossoms.
These
are all great days for a leisurely lunch and maybe an extra glass or two
of the local wine.
We
have been awarded four suns (stars) from the Association Francaise B&B
France, and three keys (stars) from the Conseil General de Gard Tourisme.
More importantly, many of our guests have become our friends.
In
fact our website (which we hope you will visit) was created by a guest
who loved his visit with us. The real sign of happy visitors is that they
come back and they do! We hope to see you soon at Les Marronniers
Johnny
and Michel.
P.S.
Our website contains more photos and all our details, plus information
on Uzes and the area round Les Marronniers. http://www.lesmarronniers.biz/en/index.html
Activities:
This
area of Provence is wonderful for those who love to walk; cycle; paint;
canoe; swim, shop or partake of the local culinary delights. Hill
villages, chateaux and vineyards cover the landscape.
We
are an hour or so away from the Camargue, the Ardeche and the Cevennes,
not to mention the rest of Provence. The mediaeval walled city of
Avignon is nearby as are Orange, Nimes and Arles with their remarkably
preserved Roman remains.
Ten
minutes away is the beautiful town of Uzes, an ancient Duchy much of which
was built in the 15th. and 16th. Century and earlier. With its teeming
sidewalk cafes, restaurants and shops, it hosts a Saturday Provencal market
that must be amongst the most colorful and picturesque in Europe. |
