Many people know the
East side of the Rhone, Provence etc. You'll find this part of Languedoc
to be full of magnificent scenery, great markets and wine, easy driving
and a lot less tourists!
The Mas du Moulin d'Astruc
is located near Sauve, about 20 minutes by car northwest of Nimes in the
department of Gard in the South of France. The Sea, Avignon, Uzes, Sommiers,
Arles, the Pont du Gard, Nimes, Montpellier and the flat plains of the
Camargue and the mountains of the Cevenne are all within an hour by car.
See the "Out and About" section.The Millau Bridge is just a little
further. but its a beautiful drive.
This a super location,
so close to the village yet so deep in the countryside, so away from main
roads yet so accessible to so many interesting places. We are within three
minutes drive of the local village market, supermarket, petrol station
and a host of restaurants ,boulangeries and all other facilities, yet completely
surrounded by countryside and well away from main roads.The driveway to
the house leads from the medieval "Route Imperial" which carries just us
and a few local gardener's cars and which leads to two good restaurants
only 5 minutes pleasant walk away.
