Mas Du Gard
About This Villa
Mas Du Gard is a charming 16th century stone mas which has been lovingly restored into an authentic Provençal retreat by a talented designer, just 5 minutes' drive from the famous Pont du Gard. The quaint local village is mere steps away, ideal for morning pastry runs, while the well-known market town Uzès is 20-minutes away by car.
The home has been carefully and intentionally restored, benefitting from refined interiors and facilities, including air-conditioning, while retaining its original character.

The Pont du Gard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the top visited Roman ruin in France, can be reached within a 5-minute drive, or on foot, following the traces of the ancient aqueduct which originally passed through the local village. Visit the museum on site and go for a swim or canoe in the river, admiring the impressive view. In addition to the local village bakery, stores and restaurants, the nearby town of Uzès with its City of Art and History classification hosts popular markets every Wednesday and Saturday.
